Weaponizing “Baby Shark” – have they no shame???
This time from The Post: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/02/11/new-zealand-parliament-protests-canada-sprinklers/
The cacophony outside New Zealand’s Parliament building
continued on Sunday as officials upped the ante in their attempts to scatter
protesters, blasting “Baby Shark,” “Let It Go” and other songs after sprinklers
failed to deter the crowds.
The efforts did not appear successful, as the people
protesting pandemic measures were heard singing along to a cringe-inducing
recorder cover of “My Heart Will Go On,” standing their ground amid cries of
“freedom!”
The anti-protest playlist included James Blunt’s “You’re
Beautiful,” to which protesters swayed their arms in the air, as well as “Let
It Go” from the Disney movie “Frozen,” and the viral children’s hit “Baby
Shark.” Decades-old Barry Manilow songs and the 1990s hit “Macarena” also
reportedly made appearances.

Parliament Speaker Trevor Mallard was taking song requests
on Twitter for tunes to be added to the queue, tweeting out YouTube links to
various songs. (The latest on Sunday was a suggestion by political commentator
Emma Espiner for Johnny Cash’s “Ring of Fire.”)
