Moo-ve Over ‘Baby Shark,’ Baby Hippo Moo Deng Has Her Own Insanely Catchy Theme Song Now

It all unfolds over a too-cute series of looped videos of the shiny-skinned four-month-old hippo (whose name translates into “bouncy pork”) taking an adorably faltering step and slipping onto her belly in her enclosure and playing with her mom.

After some critics thought the impersonation felt like a backhanded diss of the “Hot to Go” singer who has openly talked about the pressures of being in the spotlight, Yang explained in a since-expired Instagram Story that mockery was the last thing on his mind.
