'Baby Shark' Drag Queen Is Back With a Video to Support LGBTQ Youth

Is the song stuck in your head again yet?

The drag queen who went viral for her performance of “Baby Shark” by request of a toddler at brunch a couple weekends ago is using her moment to support LGBTQ youth.

Marti Gould Cummings got together with a bunch of New York queens to film their version of an actual “Baby Shark” video for little kiddos.

“The team behind Shade: Queens of NYC and I decided to make a music video for kids with the song and use the video as a way for the grown ups watching to find ways to help LGBTQ youth,” she told NewNowNext, citing the links for the Ali Forney Center for Homeless LGBTQ Youth and the Hetrick Martin Institute below the video.

Yes, sure, the original “Baby Shark” video exists, and your kid could keep watching that one a hundred times a day, but is it drag and rainbow-themed?? I think not. Thank u, next:

You may spot a couple familiar faces throughout the video, including drag kid Desmond is Amazing, and even the little boy who brunched in the original viral clip.

“The internet can be such a toilet for negative, toxic behavior and misinformation, so it feels incredible to spread so much love and joy,” Cummings previously told NBC News.

“Drag is expression, and children are such judgment-free beings; they don’t really care what you’re wearing, just what you’re performing…It would be nice if us adults could let the child inside of us out for a little bit, so maybe ewe could all be a little more accepting of others ourselves."
