The infamously catchy 'Baby Shark' song has now become YouTube's most-watched video of all time, according to the BBC.

The video has currently been viewed 7.04 billion times at the time of writing, overtaking the music video for 'Despacito' by Luis Fonsi.

Per BBC, 'Baby Shark' has been viewed so many times that if it had been played back to back it would have been streamed continuously for 30,187 years.

Check out the catchy children's song below:

It was recorded by South Korean-based company Pinkfong, who has reportedly made an estimated $5.2 million from YouTube streams alone.

It took more than four years for the tune to reach the top of YouTube's most-played chart but it appears that the song has existed for much longer than that.

Per the BBC, the song's roots stem all the way back to the 1970s in American summer camps. It has also been suggested that the song came about as a result of Steven Spielberg's phenomenally successful 1975 blockbuster Jaws.

There are several versions and variations, with one including a surfer who loses an arm to a shark and another where one of the main characters dies.

There are also versions overseas, which include the French variation, 'Bebe Requin', and the German version, 'Kleiner Hai' (Little Shark), which became reasonably successful in parts of Europe back in 2007.

However, none of these interpretations ended up being anywhere near as successful as Pinkfong's version, which was sung by 10-year-old Korean-American singer Hope Segoine and posted to the video-streaming platform back in 2015.

"Nursery rhymes have always been sort of slow, very cute, but something that would help your children fall asleep - as opposed to Baby Shark," Pinkfong's marketing director Jamie Oh told the BBC in 2018.

"Pinkfong's Baby Shark is very trendy and it has a very bright beat with fun dance moves. The animation is very vivid. We call it K-Pop for the next generation," he added.

Per the BBC, Pinkfong is planning to turn the hit song into a film and a musical, and aim to make Baby Shark "another classic for kids music, like Twinkle Twinkle Little Star".

A man has taken to social media to reveal the true meaning of the lyrics behind the hit 90s track 'Macarena.'

The revelation was made after a TikTok user going by the handle @peakay81 posted a video on the platform which he captioned:

"Tell me a song that you listened to when you were younger and you grew up and realized it's really dirty."

In the video in question, @peakay81 spoke about the classic Spanish dance song 'Macarena', written by Los del Río and later remixed by The Bayside Boys, which boasts some surprisingly scandalous lyrics.

The TikTok user stated that the song is really about "a woman whose boyfriend is about to join the army.

"She, when he’s away, has a threesome with his two best mates. No joke, Google it, what the f***?"

Indeed, according to LyricsTranslate, the song does feature a verse where a woman (presumably the eponymous Macarena herself) states:

"But don't you worry about my boyfriend,
He's a boy whose name is Vitorino.
I don't want him,
Couldn't stand him,
He was no good so I...

Now, come on, what was I supposed to do?
He was out of town and his two friends were so fine."

Suffice it to say, a number of other TikTok were shocked by the song's x-rated content, and many took to the comments of @peakay81's to lambast him for "ruining" the track for them.

For instance, one person wrote: "Spanish is my native language and I have to Google this, because I didn't know about that."

Another commented: "I'm just gonna scroll before my childhood is ruined."

A third wrote: "You ruined my 22 years of fun and innocence."

Meanwhile, someone else stated: "never knew until today, looking up lyrics right now."

Another commenter stated: "Actually... thanks, you ruined my childhood."

A Spanish-speaking TikToker stated: "I'm from Spain and I can tell u that all Spanish songs have a double meaning..."

Finally, someone else chimed in: "The worst thing is that I speak Spanish and when I saw this I was like- wait, imma check this. And it's true."

A number of other people commented on other songs from their childhoods which they'd later realized were surprisingly profane.

For example, one commenter stated: "The first song that I thought of was 'Whistle' by Florida.'"

Another person suggested: "'California Girls by Katy Perry for me."

A third commenter wrote: "[Nearly] all of One Direction songs [are] inappropriate I should not have been listening to them when I was four."

Finally, another commenter added: "'Wasn't Me' by Shaggy for me..."

With the sheer amount of creative content out in the world these days, it's hard to believe anything is original anymore. It seems to me that almost every book is just a re-write of a story that's been told before, every film is just a remake (sometimes literally) of something we saw years ago, and every hit song sounds so similar to all its recent predecessors that it's sometimes difficult to tell if Spotify is stuck on repeat or not.

Or, you know, maybe I'm just turning into one of those miserable old people who says stuff like, "It wasn't like this back in my day!"

However - cranky or not - I'm not wrong in saying that one of Selena Gomez's recent music videos looks an awful lot like another artist's.

If you're not clued up on exactly which video I'm talking about, here it is:

[[youtubewidget||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VY1eFxgRR-k]]

The video follows the story of Selena and a suited man (who may or may not be representative of a certain Justin Bieber) who team up to steal a car. At various points, the music cuts out and Selena turns to speak to the camera (though you don't actually hear her talk, everything is subtitled with a garish yellow font), and the whole thing has a very twee, dated look about it.

However, while this might certainly seem like something a bit different from your standard 2018 music video, some fans have commented that the aesthetic is almost identical to that of Sarah Bahbah, an artist and photographer.

Bahbah is well known for her vibrant colour scheme, use of captions, and - yes, you guessed it - dated look.

Just take a look at this picture by the artist, for example, and then compare it to a still from Back to You.

The fashion and lighting are definitely similar - but could it just be a coincidence?

Well, take a look at another piece by Bahbah, and another still from the video for Selena's new track:

Still not convinced? Well, here's one more:

The look and feel of Gomez's video is so similar to Bahbah's work that you'd be forgiven for thinking the artist had a hand in directing it. In fact, many people did think Bahbah was involved - but when it transpired she hadn't, fans of the photographer were not happy.

"The style, the editing and even the captions: all of it just makes you think @sarahbahbah the second you look at these posts if you've been accustomed to Sarah's art for some time," wrote one fan on Instagram.

"Umm @selenagomez have you seen @sarahbahbah 's works? This is very very similar," said another.

[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/drwxlove/status/1002992920096661510]]

Others, meanwhile, leapt to Gomez's defence, saying that Bahbah definitely wasn't the first person to put captions on her artwork.

[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/illumigomez/status/1004089937334095872]]

Bahbah herself later took to Instagram to say that tons of fans had been in touch with her and sent her screenshots of Gomez's video, and that, yes, she knows they look similar.

Whether or not the artist has confronted Gomez is unclear - but it certainly looks like the singer has some explaining to do.

A wedding DJ has started a debate on social media after revealing the ludicrous amount of money he was making just for playing a Spotify playlist.

While there are a few fan-favorite songs that are bound to be heard at many weddings, most people would assume that DJs vary the soundtrack depending on the reception.

However, TikToker Mr. Fireworks (who goes by @mr__fireworks on the platform) debunked that myth in a video where he shows just how little work he needed to put into one particular wedding set.

Shared on May 12, the viral clip shows a buzzing wedding reception from the DJ's perspective. People can be seen bopping along to the music on the dance floor. But when the camera zooms in on Mr. Fireworks' laptop, we see that all he's done to get the party swinging is stick on a playlist titled 'Top 200 Wedding Party Songs' on Spotify.

"White weddings be like," the DJ captioned his video sarcastically.

The clip has already racked up over 4.7 million views and thousands of comments. Many people were outraged by Mr. Fireworks' DJ-ing technique.

"Many DJ’s actually do something you know. You aren’t supposed to be like 'oh the song ended… okay there’s the next one,'" one user wrote.

"A good DJ doesn't randomly play songs from a playlist. You pick songs based on energy levels, amount of people on the floor, age, and other demographics," another person commented. Mr. Firework's retorted: "A good DJ gets paid $4,000."

Other users agreed with Mr. Fireworks that he was only doing the same things as every other DJ. "That's every DJ ever lol," one wrote, while another added: "Finally a DJ admits that they just running a playlist."

Meanwhile, for many, the TikTok was enough to convince them that hiring a DJ is a waste of money. "That’s why I would never hire a DJ. Just make your own playlist people," one person commented. Another agreed, writing: "And this is why I will never hire a DJ. Band or playlist. Simple as that."

Ah, the internet: such a wonderful place. Out there, anything is possible. You can follow your favourite celebrities on social media, reach out to them to say thank you for all the work/entertainment they've provided you with, or - if you feel so compelled - mansplain their own profession to them.

Ok, so it's probably not every day that this last thing happens, but, difficult though it may be to believe, there are some dudes out there who think they know what they're doing better than their female professional counterparts.

Just last week, musician Michelle Zauner - better known by her alias, Japanese Breakfast - took to Twitter to share a message she'd received from a "fan".

Unlike most DMs she got from admirers of her music, however, this one was a little more critical... and a lot more patronising.

[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/Jbrekkie/status/1096250918469812224]]

"Hi I am one of your biggest fans," the message began. "I saw you in St Louis and you made me cry. Thanks it was beautiful."

Alright: so far, so good. But then it starts to get a bit more mansplainy.

"One of my favorite songs of yours is 'Till Death' although I didn't realize it at first I just realized the bass line sounds forced, I heard such beautiful Melody's in my head that were barely touched upon [sic].

"I am a musician/songwriter myself. Just some constructive criticism. Rock on and much love!"

Aaaand then it gets even worse.

"To be more specific, that song is so devastatingly beautiful and the bass riff really needs to be rudimentary. It deserves a simple dropping bass riff that isn't too flashy. Some of the parts of the current bass riff aren't that bad but on the whole the song needs that simple dropping bass riff.

"Also wouldn't hurt to try and change it up and do something that followed the rhythm of the bells/piano for one part. 

"The song is beautiful as it is and deserves not to be overwhelmed by the bass riff."

[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/Jbrekkie/status/1093674583239131136]]

Ummm, is this guy kidding? "Some of the parts of the current bass riff aren't that bad"? "It wouldn't hurt to try and change it up"? What a jerk.

Thankfully, Zauner herself had a pretty funny response to the whole thing (probably because she hears mansplaining like it all the time), and posted the one-sided conversation to Twitter with the tongue-in-cheek caption, "*rerecords album*".

And everyone else got a good laugh out of it, too:

So, thanks, random man, for giving us all something to laugh at today - but, next time, it's probably best to keep your "constructive criticism" to yourself.
