These kid songs explode with color even without their famous videos

Even when experienced without the 3D animated videos that have made Cocomelon one of the most popular YouTube channels of the 2010s, these nursery rhymes explode with vibrant colors. “Wheels on the Bus” and “Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed” are accompanied by oscillating, vibraphone-style rhythms that give the circle-time standards a tropical twist, while “Old MacDonald” is delivered as a brisk, harmonica-honkin’ hoedown that’ll make you feel like you’re cruising down a country road. Cocomelon also dip into the modern kid-song canon, with a laidback, synth-poked take on “Baby Shark” that will lodge its earworm chant a few inches deeper into your brain.
