Moo Deng knows what her fans want.
A song available in four languages,Indexbit right? Well, that's what the internet's favorite baby pygmy hippo released on YouTube Nov. 13.
The 50-second catchy tune "Moodeng Moodeng" repeats her name several times before highlighting her relationship with her mom Jona from her perspective. "Mommy Mommy, Play with me," the song continues in English. "Please Mommy, Come play with me / Bounce with me, Mom."
A video of the 4-month-old animal tripping in her habitat at the Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Thailand plays on a loop alongside the lyrics. The song—which is also available in Thai, Chinese and Japanese—was written and produced by Mueanphet Ammara and released by one of Thailand's biggest music companies, GMM Music.
The baby hippo, whose name roughly translates to "bouncy pig," has stolen hearts with her silly demeanor after going viral on social media in September. While her presence online has made her internet royalty, she's also made her name at the zoo, with spectators from around the world visiting to meet her.
And the facility has also taken advantage of her newfound stardom by stocking merchandise adorned with her face and including her in advertisements for clothing and bakeries. Sephora Thailand also spotlighted the baby animal, whose cheeks are rosy pink, to advertise their blush collections.
"The hottest trend right now has to be Moo Deng," the company wrote on Instagram in September, translated from Thai. "The super cute hippo who creates legends every day. With soft pink cheeks, Sephora doesn't miss out on introducing a famous blush that gives a super cute look like this."
Bowen Yang even paid homage to Moo Deng during an episode of Saturday Night Live in September, dressed as the animal while making callbacks to Chappell Roan's recent stance on boundaries with the public.
"Reminder: women owe you nothing," Bowen said during the Weekend Update sketch in a full Moo Deng costume. "When I'm in my enclosure, tripping over stuff, biting my trainer's knee, I'm at work, that is the project. Do not yell my name or expect a photo just because I'm your parasocial bestie or because you appreciate my talent."
He also made a callback to the "Hot To Go" singer with her famous line, noting, "I'm your favorite hippos' favorite hippo."
After all, Chappell and Moo Deng seemed to be skyrocketing to fame simultaneously.
"Leave her alone," Bowen added. "Let her take as much time as she needs for her mental health. We both deserve patience and grace, so stop harassing her and stop throwing shellfish at her…This is what society does: It puts young women on pedestals, only to knock them down with shellfish."
