Take the tiny tyke in this video, who seemingly never quite got around to opening the present, because she is too darn busy busting a move to the chipper tune blasting out of the birthday card. As [“The Hamsterdance”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3G5IXn0K7A "undefined") plays from the musical card, the baby shows off her diaper-shaking dance moves until she gets a little too exuberant and accidentally causes the card to close. She quickly figures out what needs to happen to keep the party going …at least until nap time. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3585709/baby-dance-birthday-card/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3585709/baby-dance-birthday-card/"},"headline":"Baby Can't Stop Dancing To Magical Birthday Card","datePublished":"2014-11-14T23:14:00.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:14:38.303Z","description":"Hamsterdancing all the way to nap time.","url":"https://time.com/3585709/baby-dance-birthday-card/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Babies","viral","Videos","Viral Videos"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3585709/baby-dance-birthday-card/","name":"Baby Can't Stop Dancing To Magical Birthday Card"}}]}] ```
