Not only is the catchy tune a life-saver when a parent is trying to get some work done, but it turns out "Baby Shark" can be an actual lifesaver.
A California dad and CPR instructor is using the Billboard Hot 100 chart climber to inspire others to learn the life-saving technique.
Chris Pietroforte, who owns and operates his own training facility, Central Valley CPR in Tulare, California,  said his daughter, Saige, now 3, picked up CPR easily at age 2 when watching him at work.
He told "Inside Edition" that "Baby Shark" has the hallmarks of another sing-it-while-you-perform-CPR hit, the Bee Gees disco classic "Stayin' Alive," since it's between 100-120 beats per minute. Like that song, "Baby Shark" is also easy to remember and infectious enough to entertain – well, kids, at least.
"I tell people all the time, if a 2-year-old can learn, why can’t you? So there’s no excuse for that," Pietroforte said. "My goal is to get as many people out there trained. ... And the more people trained, the better it is out there for society."
Although the ear-worm tune isn't for everyone, Saige's righteous chest compressions have gotten a lot of attention as her CPR videos have gone viral.
