Dad Recreates AC/DC’s ‘Thunderstruck’ Using a Year’s Worth of Baby Noises
One creative dad has taken parental dedication — and musical mashups — to a new level by remaking AC/DC’s iconic hit “Thunderstruck” using nothing but recorded sounds from his baby over the course of a year.
The innovative project, which took months of audio collecting and meticulous editing, features a full cover of the legendary rock anthem using only coos, cries, giggles, hiccups, sneezes, and other natural baby sounds. Every sound in the track — from vocals to rhythm — is constructed from his child’s recorded audio clips.
In a now-viral video posted online, the father, who is also a music producer, synced and arranged thousands of baby sound bites to recreate the song with uncanny accuracy. The result? A hilarious and oddly impressive baby-powered rendition of one of the most electrifying rock songs ever recorded.
Fans across the internet have praised the dad’s ingenuity and patience, calling it “adorably brilliant,” “next-level parenting,” and “the cutest rock cover ever.” Even those unfamiliar with music production have been awed by the technical skill and dedication required to turn baby babble into a rock masterpiece.
While the baby star of the show might not understand their contribution to the world of rock just yet, they’ve already made a thunderous debut — one giggle at a time.
