Baby Shark, Johnny Johnny Yes Papa, Down By The Bay and 20 other toddler songs that's taken over YouTube

What songs did you listen to growing up? Bah-Bah Black Sheep and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star? What about Old McDonald and Barney’s I Love You?

It seems the songs we sang growing up are still the songs our little ones are learning today, with a few visual additions on the animated versions on YouTube.

So is it just me, or do you too often find your smartphone in the hands of your toddler, on YouTube, watching their favourite songs? Which songs are they?

Apart from the newly animated versions of these classics, our kids are also listening to a few new songs, like Down By The Bay and the song that's made it onto the UK Top 40 Chart, Baby Shark.
