Nicola says baby hated the violin...until she played her Baby Shark!
She is an internationally-renowned violinist whose award-winning talent draws audiences from far and wide. However, Nicola Benedetti, 38, has revealed she has had to work hard to gain the approval of one discerning critic - her baby daughter. The Ayrshire-born musician said her one year old girl 'absolutely hated' it every time Benedetti picked up the violin and would 'immediately start crying'. It is only due to the violinist's perseverance and the fact she dropped her usual repertoire of classical pieces in favour of popular children's song Baby Shark that she eventually won the tot round. In an interview on BBC Four show Women's Hour, Benedetti, who welcomed her baby daughter with American jazz musician husband Wynton Marsalis, 63, last year, said: 'When she was six or seven months and I started playing the violin she just immediately started crying. Not crying joyfully at all. She absolutely hated it. 'I don't think she hated the sound. I think it was more like I was holding [the violin] instead of her. 'It was this instinctual sense of this thing that now mum's got. You know it was a barrier between me and her. 'It is because I can't pick her up when I've got the violin in my hand. 'But I just then quite slowly would start sort of playing things that I guess were more familiar to her. 'And playing [while] sitting on the floor, very close to her. Playing a couple of little notes and seeing the interaction and just trying to make it fun. 'And there was like a change moment where she just started to love it and now she does.' When asked if her repertoire for her daughter included the children's song Baby Shark, she said: 'I think I've probably done that a few times. 'I think I have. I've added some extra, nice harmonies and made it interesting.'

Decoder Ring
Credit - Pop Culture Since 2018, Slate critic Willa Paskin has explored bizarre and delightful cultural phenomena from 'Baby Shark' to Chuck E. Cheese to try to understand what makes people obsessed with arbitrary touchstones. Some of the episodes are bona fide time capsules: A particularly compelling entry discusses Gen X's disdain for "selling out" as manifested in movies like Reality Bites and novelist Jonathan Franzen's refusal to appear on Oprah—a concept that has been totally lost on Gen Z, many of whom aspire to become influencers shilling for companies in exchange for free products. Through conversations with experts, fans, and fellow journalists, Paskin manages to transform a topic that might spark mild interest into one of utter obsession. She lends a sympathetic ear to fanboys and fangirls to understand how the strangest subcultures can elicit an emotional attachment and radically transform the cultural zeitgeist.

It's official. Baby Shark is the most annoying kids' song when driving
It's official. Baby Shark by Pinkfong is the most distracting kids' song when driving, according to Aussie parents. The song, dating back to the late 20th century, went viral in 2016 after the South Korean entertainment company released a version of the track. The video of the song, with accompanying dance movements, is the most viewed clip on YouTube, accumulating over 15 billion views, research from Allianz Australia has found. See the full list: Fifty-three per cent of Aussie parents nominated the kids' classic as the most distracting song. This was followed by Wheels on the Bus (28 per cent) and Old McDonald's Farm (20 per cent). The research found sixty per cent of Aussie parents say the type of childrens' music they play affects their driving behaviour. Forty per cent say they are more likely to catch themselves speeding as a result. Fast-paced music, particularly songs with over 120 beats per minute (BPM), significantly impaired driving performance. In contrast, slower music, ranging between 60-80 BPM, was found to have a beneficial effect, with 50 per cent of parents saying it helped them stay relaxed. READ MORE: Childcare abuse probe widens with more centres linked to accused worker Allianz GM Laura Halbert told ACM that songs like Baby Shark are "super catchy" but also have a "fast tempo and repetitive nature" that likely has an impact on a driver's ability to concentrate. "As the school holidays come to an end, and with the homeward journey in mind, we want to give parents a simple tool to help them stay focused and ensure the safety of their loved ones," she said. As for her pet song peeve? Ms Halbert, who is a mother herself, nominated Lava Chicken from this year's A MineCraft Movie. To access your own Allianz Seat Belters playlist, click here. It's official.
