Honesty time. I am not on TikTok. I have friends on the social media platform, but I haven't joined. The friends that are on it constantly send me videos that TikTok'ers make, so I guess I should join. The videos of this absolutely precious baby may be what it takes to make me join.

Marcel Desobeau is a firefighter paramedic and musician from Texas. The Texas dad has now become quite popular on TikTok for rockin' out with his infant daughter. It's not only awesome, it's so sweet! He drums with his 7-month-old daughter Lane in videos that have now gone viral. The duo uses drumsticks on Lane's high chair tray and posts the footage on the TikTok page, "Heavy Metal Baby."

"Good Morning America" has chatted with Marcel and his wife Liz. They told the show that they'll  "keep making videos because Lane loves it." And she really does. The smile on the babies face is so stinkin' cute! It's obvious she loves it.

Marcel Desobeau said he's been playing several instruments in bands since he was 13 years old. So far, he and Lane have drummed to dad's favorite groups like Metallica, Disturbed, System of a Down, Rush and more. Some band members and their families have even commented on the videos.

I love that Lane has so much fun with her dad and I love that they ROCK! That kid is gonna be a metal fan for sure! Obviously I'm not the only one that digs the videos as they've racked up millions of views.  The video below is an example of the duo rockin' out some Limp Bizkit. This video alone got 2.7 million likes.

If you're on TikTok, you can follow the "Heavy Metal Baby"   I'll say this, once you start watching the videos, it's hard to stop. Lane's smile is hard to look away from.
