Many parents will tell you that when they are all out of ideas to get their baby to stop crying, the famous Baby Shark song does the trick. In fact, a neuroscientific consultant, in 2020, found that children can affiliate with the words “baby”, “daddy”, “mommy”, “grandpa”, “grandma” – which helps create a connection or a bond with the song.

So it makes sense why passengers on a flight from Dubai to Albania resorted to singing the classic nursery rhyme to soothe a crying toddler.
