Yet, the nursery tune about a happy little family of [sharks](http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/08/09/solved-the-great-mystery-of-the-nyc-subway-shark/) on the hunt for their next meal not only went viral earlier this year, but it also sparked the #BabySharkChallenge with people around the globe showing off their shark-like dance moves. That challenge has now ended, thanks to [Sophie Turner](http://time.com/5312231/sophia-turner-new-game-of-thrones-tattoo/), Josh Groban, and James Corden who won the substitute competition with their deeply serious rendition of the “modern classic” song. “Once in a lifetime a song comes along that defines a generation,” Corden said on Wednesday night’s episode of _The Late Late Show_. “A song that unites us all together in beautiful harmony.” He likened “Baby [Shark](http://time.com/3860496/jaws-anniversary-sharks/)”, a song “so iconic it’s been viewed far more times on YouTube” to other iconic tunes like John Lennon’s “Imagine” and Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On”. To pay tribute to the “powerful” song, he teamed up with the _Game of Thrones_ star and the soulful singer to deliver the classiest version of “Baby Shark” the world has ever heard. Turner played “Mommy Shark”, Groban played “Daddy [Shark](http://time.com/4727546/shark-attack-survival-tips/)”, and they all sang “Baby shark, doo doo doo doo doo doo/Baby shark, doo doo doo doo doo doo” so beautifully, that a legend was born and a challenge won. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5408494/sophie-turner-baby-shark/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5408494/sophie-turner-baby-shark/"},"headline":"Sophie Turner Ends the Baby Shark Challenge With a Deeply Serious Rendition","datePublished":"2018-09-27T16:31:28.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:55:08.419Z","description":"The Baby Shark Challenge is now over","url":"https://time.com/5408494/sophie-turner-baby-shark/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Late late show","Late Night Television","james corden","Sophie Turner"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltedef141258417f9f/69893b467cdbac1e46d5e07c/sophietunersingsonjamescorden.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltedef141258417f9f/69893b467cdbac1e46d5e07c/sophietunersingsonjamescorden.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"SophieTunerSingsonJamesCorden","caption":"","creditText":"Sophie Turner sings Baby Shark","representativeOfPage":true}],"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/5408494/sophie-turner-baby-shark/","name":"Sophie Turner Ends the Baby Shark Challenge With a Deeply Serious Rendition"}}]}] ```
