WATCH: Sophie Turner, Josh Groban and James Corden perform ‘definitive version’ of ‘Baby Shark’
You’ve never heard “Baby Shark” in anything like this.
James Corden put a classy touch on the now viral hit, with a little help from “Games of Thrones” star Sophie Turner and Josh Groban in “Late Late Show” episode aired Thursday night.
Corden first teased “Baby Shark” as a song “so iconic” since it has reached almost two billion views on YouTube alone. He added that unlike John Lennon’s “Imagine” and Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On,” this song clearly defined the current generation.
Since he has heard this song multiple times, he thought: “Why should this song just be for kids?” and thought to perform “the definitive version” of the song in front of an audience—with a posh setup of a classic piano and chandelier.
As Corden performed the part of baby shark, he told the audience “We all want to know what mommy shark is up to.” Then came Turner being carried by two men to perform her bit.
Groban then joined the duo as daddy shark’s part, with backup dancers dressed in blue gowns and shark masks. The performance ended with a choir entering the ensemble to perform a much livelier version.
