The internet is for one thing, and one thing only, and that’s fucking around. Don’t let anybody tell you differently! And one of the best iterations of fucking around online is making your dogs, cats, and miscellaneous pets do cute things. In this case, on TikTok.

TikTok, as we know by now, is an inherently musical app, and all the best viral videos and trends feature absolute ear-worms as part of their appeal.

Enter ‘Mr Sandman’ by The Chordettes, one of those newfangled bands that the youth love, and the latest pop banger of the summer. I dunno.

The two components of this trend is to put a specific TikTok filter on that splits the screen into nine. Then play Mr Sandman over the top. Then hover your dog or cat or bird over, and let the magic happen.

Sure, it’s inherently pointless, but oh my god it’s cute.

Let’s watch some more!



OK! So do you get the appeal? It’s wholesome as heck? Animals… and music… good?
