It’s been almost 10 years since “Baby Shark” debuted and then went mega-viral, which means you’ve probably only just gotten the impossibly catchy tune out of your head. Prepare for that to change once again, with some help from Peppa Pig.
On Monday (Dec. 29), two of the biggest titans of children’s music and TV, Baby Shark and Peppa — courtesy of The Pinkfong Company and Hasbro, respectively — teamed up to release a “Baby Shark x Peppa Pig” dance remix and music video, which Billboard is exclusively premiering. The animated visual finds England’s favorite porcine protagonist delving into the underwater world of Baby Shark by way of submarine, the former adding her own vocals to the latter’s hit.
“Baby shark, doo doo doo doo doo doo/ Baby shark, doo doo doo doo doo doo/ Baby shark,” the original lyrics repeat, followed by the addition of Peppa & Company: “Oh, Peppa Pig, Peppa Pig!/ She’s Peppa Pig, Peppa Pig!/ I am Peppa Pig!”
The two characters are some of the most influential in 2000s children’s media, with “Baby Shark” first making a splash in 2016 before catching on like wildfire around the world. The song reached a peak of No. 32 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2019, and its video crossed the 10 billion-view threshold on YouTube in 2022.
Meanwhile, Peppa Pig has been a beloved British TV show since 2004, and a staple in kid’s music for almost as long. The adorable swine has covered a number of hit tracks — including BTS’ “Dynamite” and Katy Perry’s “Roar” last year — and has released several original albums over the years, most recently dropping Happy Holidays With Peppa Pig Vol. 2 this past November.
“With colorful worlds colliding, familiar characters singing together, and an infectious soundtrack to match, the collaboration is designed to capture imaginations and bring joy to fans of all ages,” a press release for the new remix reads. “This milestone is more than a duet — it’s a cultural crossover between two preschool powerhouses and the first time PEPPA PIG has joined forces with another family entertainment music artist!”
