Viral 'corn kid' inspires a song on TikTok, and it's an absolute delight

We love it and we don't care if that sounds a little corn-y.

He can't get enough of corn. We can't get enough of him.

If you were anywhere near the internet this month, you have probably felt the contagious joy spread by “corn kid,” an adorable young boy whose unbridled love of the delicious, buttery starch veg went viral online.

The wholesome moment originally came from the popular kid interview series “Recess Therapy,” with host Julian Shapiro-Barnum, but quickly sprouted up on other outlets like the TikTok channel @doingthings, where it amassed more than 16 million views.

If you somehow missed it, here’s a taste below. Please take note: We don’t pronounce it as “corn” anymore. It’s cowhn. Now and forevermore.
