Let us count the ways ...

In Time magazine, writer Ada Calhoun analyzes why so many babies on YouTube are getting down to Beyoncé's "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" video.

Here's what she found:

"The song is very Teletubbies," says Tony-nominated musician Kenny Mellman. "If you listen to it, there is very little music. It's all drum and Beyoncé's voice."

• Kara Shall, communications director of Baby Loves Disco, says, "Young children love songs with good rhythm and repetition, and 'Single Ladies' certainly has both."

• Babies love high-contrast colors, steady beats, and smiling women's faces. "Single Ladies" has all three.

Because it isn’t real music.

Because babies haven’t developed taste yet?

Because even babies are smart enough to know that Beyonce is damn fine! Who cares what the music sounds like? She moves like a dream!

Also, that kid has got moves… Are the parents enrolling this darling in dance lessons asap?
