Cuteness alert! Lovable toddler’s interaction with Alexa is viral video magic

This is the stuff viral videos are made of...and how could anyone not love this?

Baby Shark, doo-doo-da-doo-da-doo, has just about every little preschooler bobbing their head to the catchy jam. And for two-year-old Zoé, who lives in Wisconsin, she wanted to hear Alexa play the popular kids’ tune on repeat. But this is viral cuteness.

Zoe’s mom caught the adorable toddler on video, asking an Amazon device to play the entire hit song several times unsuccessfully. It took Alexa a few tries and the help of her to get it right, the Daily Mail reports. The video has since gone viral with more than 1 billion views on YouTube.

In case you didn’t know (or you don’t hang out with toddlers), the song originated in 2015 on the Korean YouTube kids channel Pinkfong and is about a family of sharks. It’s been adapted by several popular kids artists, including a dance version by singer Johnny Only, who is known for hits like “Shake Your Sillies Out” and the ever-important educational jam “You Can Do It (The Potty Training Song).”

“Baby Shark” is said to be one of YouTube’s all-time Top 40 viewed videos, according to The Independent.

Zoe’s mom Cryssy Turner shared the moment Zoe asked Alexa to play “Baby Shark,” again and again. But since baby talk can sometimes be difficult to decipher for an artificial intelligence device, Alexa didn’t quite understand Zoe’s multiple commands.

Zoe approaches the kitchen counter and asks Alexa to play it. Instead she gets “Baby Hold Back” by Say Anything.

Zoe tries yet again to get Alexa to deliver the right song, but this time she gets a verse of “Baby Shark.”

Mom Cryssy steps in and orders Alexa to play the tune. Woot there it is, and the right version of the popular song plays to Zoe’s delight.

She breaks into a little shimmy and sings along with excitement. Zoe even does the shark-chomping hand motions, that are shown in the music video of the song.

So cute!
