Helene Fischer and Otto Waalkes: Baby Shark will be the hit of the year!

A surprising duo is currently causing excitement in the music scene: Helene Fischer and Otto Waalkes have teamed up to present a new interpretation of the popular children's song “Baby Shark”. The first single from Fischer's upcoming album "Tanzen & Celebrations", which will be released on September 12, 2025, has aroused the curiosity of fans. In a colorful video that has already premiered, Fischer plays the role of the mother, while Waalkes is seen in various roles, including a baby and a grandparent. Particularly funny: According to Otto himself, he needed an incredible 400 takes for the shoot, which took place in an international American studio. The special touch of the video is the cartoon-like sharks and the maritime background, which give the whole thing a relaxed flair. [az-online] reports that Fischer was not present on set as she was in Munich at the time.

“Baby Shark” is part of the second record in Fischer’s “The Most Beautiful Children’s Songs” series and is promoted as the perfect soundtrack for happy occasions and parties. The album will contain 25 songs and offers a colorful mix of classics and modern rhythms. Universal Music highlights that pre-orders for the album have already started and it will be available in various formats, including a party case, colorful vinyl and a bonus karaoke CD.

Humorous collaboration

The collaboration between the 41-year-old superstar Fischer and the comedy legend Waalkes, who is already 77 years old, shows in a humorous way how generations can come together through music. Otto smiled at the distribution of roles in the music video and remarked: "She's the beautiful one and I'm the other one." This tongue-in-cheek statement reflects the dynamic between the two artists and brings a smile to their fans. [abendzeitung] has provided interesting insights into this.

Helene Fischer herself expressed her enthusiasm about the joint production on Instagram and was happy that Otto was on board. It seems like the two artists' chemistry is perfect, despite the physical separation during filming. Fischer and Waalkes shine both in their joint song and in their individual performances - a welding of talents that should receive a great response.

A strong start

The extremely successful song “Baby Shark” will most likely not only make children’s hearts beat faster, but will also bring the entire album “Tanzen & Celebrations” to high sales figures. The combination of Otto Waalkes' humor and Helene Fischer's singing talent promises that fans will have a recipe for success in their hands. Those interested can already look forward to the album, which was announced via [az-online].

With a transformation that goes from the softness of a children's song to the energy of a party, Fischer and Waalkes prove that they have a knack for good music and happy occasions. So we can only hope that this creative duo will work together on further projects.
