Mom calms baby’s meltdowns with viral song from 2000s

By Sejal Mandal

A mom has discovered the ultimate baby-meltdown cure for her son - blasting the hit song "Axel F" by Crazy Frog.

Mom-of-two Linsey Carpenter, 28, says the "annoying" 2000s hit is now her “family savior.”

The Eurodance tune instantly stops her eight-month-old son Dennis Taylor from crying whenever she plays it.

Linsey first noticed the bizarre trick when her daughter Frankie Taylor, three, would dance to the tune and Dennis watched, mesmerized.

After trying everything from lullabies to white noise to soothe Dennis, Crazy Frog is now her go-to fix.

Linsey, a stay-at-home mom from Coalville, Leicestershire, said: “At first, I couldn’t believe it.

"I thought 'Surely this won’t keep working.’

"But it does every single time!

“I’ve tried all the happy songs but if he’s in a meltdown only Crazy Frog can snap him out of it.

“It’s become our family’s savior song.

“It went from being an annoying ringtone when I was 12 to literal music to my ears.

"As soon as the song comes on, he stops crying.

"But now, even when Alexa says, ‘Playing Crazy Frog,’ he recognizes it and goes silent.

"It never fails!”
