Comments on the video are nothing short of hilarious and adorable, with people saying the song makes them feel like a child who was just sung a lullaby.

Some claim it has healing powers with one person saying " This feels like my parents getting un-divorced" and "Everything is so scary right now. Sometimes, we just need an axolotl song to soothe the nerves."

Since it's social media, many have made their version of the song.

Have a look at how people have made it their own, and sing along if you like.
