It's still crying! Oh my god.
- (mom) Oh, you feel the pain in the song, yeah honey?
Big tears. - What?
- Oh, he's so in love.
- (mom) Are you crying?
Awww, you're crying, Monkey. - Hey, that's my nickname.
(baby coos)
- (mom) It's just a song. It's just a song, honey.
- It's a strong song. It's emotional.
- It's so cute!
- Technically, she made her kid cry.
That was kind of mean.
- That makes me want to have kids one day.
I was totally against kids, but, like...
my future kids will thank you for this. (laughs)

- (Finebros) Why was that baby crying? - I don't know!
I don't know if it liked it too much, or if it just really hated it.
- 'Cause the mom has an angelic voice.
- 'Cause that was quite the emotional song there.
- Because this song was so sad and she was so happy
and then it was, like, crying.
Aww, I'm actually tearing up a little bit. This is embarrassing.
- She felt the pain and the sadness in the song.
Anyone who says babies don't feel emotions,
they don't know how to react to things-- they're stupid, okay?
- (Finebros) How does it make you feel when you watch something like that?
- Shaky. Like, that was powerful.
- It restores faith in humanity.
- At first, I thought, you know, "Oh, this is so cute!"
And then he starts, like, legitimately crying.
And then he started getting sad.
- On the one hand, it's a baby crying and that's sad.
But on the other hand, he's crying over nothing and that's a little funny.
- Whenever somebody else cries, I cry.
I'm one of those people.
Someone that's so little can feel that from her mom singing to her.
She probably doesn't even understand what the song is
but there's that connection and she can feel it.
- (Finebros) What personality traits would you say this baby is already showing?
- An old soul. A very old soul.
- Appreciation for good music.
- Very sensitive.
- Very dramatic!
- Melodramatic.
She should definitely be an actor.
- (Finebros) Why is it so surprising to see a baby express these types of emotions?
- Because they're so young.
I got feels when I got addicted to Twitter and musicians and stuff!
When I was a baby, I didn't cry.
I cried if I wanted food.
- Because it's a baby!
It's entire life consists of eat, poop, sleep, eat, poop.
It's not supposed to be crying because, you know, songs are emotional.
- You don't expect, I guess, that level of maturity
or intelligence in a baby that small.
- Because, usually, they just laugh or they act happy.
This was like a wedding cry. Like, how you cry at a wedding.
That's, like, how you cry over The Notebook.
- (Finebros) Is it a boy or a girl? - I want to say it's a boy.
- I think it's a boy.
- Boy?
- Boy.
Boy.
- (Finebros) It's a baby girl named Mary. - No, it's not!
Why do they dress her like a he?
- (Finebros) Why you gotta have gender norms, Rumor?
That's when it's okay to have gender norms, when they're babies!
- (Finebros) Why do you think parents singing to children
is a staple of parenting? - I don't know.
I don't think my mom ever sang to me.
- It's just really comforting.
- Personal fact about me: when I have a girlfriend,
I choose to have a good singer as a girlfriend
because I like it when girls sing to me.
- Singing is supposed to be comforting.
My first actual sentence was, "Mommy, stop singing."
So-- (laughs) I'm not even joking. That was my first sentence.
- (Finebros laughs breathlessly) Why? - I don't know.
- My mom likes to sing to me and she does not have a very good voice.
(everyone laughs) - But it's all right.
Mom, I love you. Mom, I do.
- (Finebros) Did anyone ever sing to you when you were young?
- My grandma. Her church songs.
- My mom sang to me and rubbed my stomach.
And she would hum, like, Asian songs.
- I have four older brothers who would always babysit me and stuff
and every night my brother would sing
Put Another Dime in the Juke Box Baby to get me to go to sleep.
- My mom told me that the only way to get me to stop crying when I was a baby
was to sing the Winnie the Pooh theme song.
♪ Winnie the Pooh, Winnie the Pooh ♪
♪ Silly, willie, nillie, all stuffed with fuzz ♪
- Yeah, my mom sang to me all the the time when I was young.
- (Finebros) Can you sing a little bit of it? - You want me to sing in Arabic?
- (Finebros) Yeah! - All right. Okay, all right.
♪ (singing Happy Birthday in Arabic) ♪
- (Finebros) What song has made you cry?
- Um, today or in general?
Astronauts by a musician called BriBry.
- Taylor Swift. All of them.
- Will You Still Love Me When I'm No Longer Young and Beautiful?
- Believe. Pray.
- At the One Direction concert, just basically the whole thing.
- The Face by Ryandan.
- Killzone 3.
Every single time the game starts, it has this title sequence.
- The Otherside Fences remix by Macklemore.
My brother actually OD'd when I was 16.
I think just because it has that personal connection to the song.
- (Finebros) And why do you think this video has gone so viral?
What about it is making people want to share it?
- The baby. That baby's reaction is priceless.
- It's just one of those videos you watch
when you're sad to make you feel warm and fuzzy inside, you know?
- It's got a little bit of controversy, but it's also funny.
The baby's adorable. It's got all the elements of YouTube.
- I've never seen a baby react to something like that
and I work with kids four days a week.
I see them cry. I see them laugh.
I see them do weird things that I don't even understand what they are,
but I've never seen a baby cry because they were happy like that.
- Baby videos go viral all the time.
Baby videos and cat videos.
If there was a cat in that, that'd pass Gangnam Style in two days!
- (Finebros) So what is your prediction for Mary?
What kind of person do you think she's gonna be when she grows up?
- I think she's gonna be really sensitive.
- She'll be able to pick up on people's emotions.
- A very, very emotional teenage girl. (laughs)
- That really annoying, dramatic girl that's like,
"Oh my god! I haven't seen you since, like, an hour.
But you're, like, my best friend and I just want to hug you and scream!"
- I almost feel bad for guys who are going to date her because
there will eventually be a separation and if she stays this emotional
that's not gonna be a good separation.
- I think she's gonna be a wonderful human being.
I think she might be a person that betters the world.
