Babies are weird. They cry a lot, and most of the time you don’t even know why they’re crying. Then, just like that, they stop. Some miraculous remedy falls down from the heavens, and you’re saved from any more irrational tantrums.

For dadGary Kennedy and his baby girl, that miracle came by way of a Nine Inch Nails song. Don’t ask why or how, but the second his wailing daughter heard the opening beats of “Copy of A” from the band’s 2013 album, “Hesistation Marks,” she forgot all her worries. She even donned an adorable smile on her face with an, “Ooh!” clearly realizing that her favorite tune was playing.

For whatever reason this song always makes her happy,” Kennedy says on his YouTube channel. “I thank Trent Reznor for turning my crying child into a smiling dancer.”

Responding to his daughter’s many fans on YouTube, who love seeing her sweet disposition and killer dance movies, Kenneddy adds: “You should see her when I play Lil Jon.”

And there you have it — just another reason to prove that babies are just strange little balls of cuteness.
