Dad and daughter's 'Heavy Metal Baby' TikTok gets love from millions

WATCH: This dad used fitness to redefine the ‘dad bod’, and set an example for his daughters

A Texas dad who rocks out with his infant on TikTok is the sweetest thing you'll see today.

Marcel Desobeau, a firefighter paramedic and musician, drums with his 7-month-old daughter Lane in viral videos. The duo uses drumsticks on Lane's high chair tray and posts the footage on the TikTok page, "Heavy Metal Baby."

"We decided to start filming first one was Slipknot, 'All Out Lies.' We woke up the next day and it eventually reached half a million views," mom Liz Desobeau told "Good Morning America." "We said we will keep making videos because Lane loves it."
