Helene Fischer Performs Duet with Otto
**German Entertainers Join Forces for a New Version of "Baby Shark"**
Helene Fischer, known as the "Schlager queen," and comedian Otto Waalkes have teamed up to create a unique rendition of the viral hit "Baby Shark." The collaboration, which features Otto's signature baby humor and Helene's versatile musical talent, is set to be released on August 8, 2025[1].
The single will be a part of Helene's upcoming children's album titled **"Die schönsten Kinderlieder (Tanzen & Feiern)"**, scheduled for release in September 2025[1]. This will be Fischer's second children's music project, following her successful album "Die schönen Kinderlieder" from last year.
The collaboration has already garnered attention online, with a colorful TikTok video showing Helene and Otto as "Mama Shark" and "Baby-Otto," respectively, in an animated comic environment[1]. The video, first released on Wednesday via Instagram and TikTok, has been confirmed as authentic by a spokesperson for Universal[2].
"Baby Shark," originally a traditional campfire song, gained worldwide popularity in 2015 through the South Korean company Pinkfong. The official video for the single has been viewed over 16 billion times on YouTube[3]. In this new version, Otto reprises his role as "Baby-Otto."
Helene Fischer, who is 40 years old, has previously collaborated with Rap-Barbie Shirin David on a new version of "Atemlos durch die Nacht" two years ago[4]. The German singer, who recently became a mother to a daughter, has a passion for music for children[5].
Otto Waalkes, a 76-year-old comedian, adds his humor to the collaboration, ensuring a fun and entertaining experience for all ages[5]. The record label responsible for the release of the single and album is Universal[1][2].
The anticipation for this collaboration is high, with fans eagerly awaiting the official release dates for the single and the album[1]. With Helene Fischer's musical talent and Otto Waalkes' comedic flair, this new version of "Baby Shark" promises to be a hit among children and adults alike.

Despite the exciting collaboration between Helene Fischer and Otto Waalkes on a new version of "Baby Shark," it seems that the childhood classic might be a bit too challenging for Helene to handle, as she admitted, "I'm not going to be able to do this." This upcomingchildren's album, titled "Die schönsten Kinderlieder (Tanzen & Feiern)," will certainly include a humorous and unique rendition of the popular song, thanks to Otto's signature comedy and Helene's musical talent, both well-known for their work in the entertainment industry.
