If you thought the "Baby Shark" phenomenon was so last year, boy were you wrong — they just keep thinking of more and more ways to get the tune stuck deeper and deeper into your head, even when YouTube isn't available. First, they made singing toys. Then, they announced that a TV show with Nickelodeon is in development. Now comes the news that Pinkfong has teamed up with Round Room Live to present a Baby Shark Live!, a touring, in-person, on-stage experience starring the Shark Family.

According to a press release, "This one of a kind concert experience will delight fans of all ages as Baby Shark joins up with his friend Pinkfong to take an adventure into the sea, singing and dancing through new and classic songs including 'Five Little Monkeys,'Wheels on the Bus,' 'Jungle Boogie,' 'Monkey Banana Dance' and, of course, 'Baby Shark!'" The press release does not say who's going to be responsible for taking my kid to see it, since it sure as hell isn't going to be me.

The press release also notes that the show will be making more than 100 stops this fall in the United States and Canada. Tickets go on sale July 16, with some pre-sales starting as early as July 9, so start thinking of your excuses why you can't be the parent that takes the kids now. And if you want to be one of the suckers — excuse me, the lucky ones — you can find more info on babysharklive.com.

This announcement comes shortly after the news that Pinkfong is also developing an animated TV series to air on Nickelodeon. That means Baby Shark is starting to turn up everywhere. It's on your phone. On your TV. In your toy box. And, soon, live in-person. It seems like Pinkfong is going for total pop-cultural a here. Where do you think they'll turn up next?
