WATCH: Israeli Parents Serenade Baby With Cutest Rendition of ‘One Day’

Today in adorable news, an Israeli couple serenaded their baby with a pitch-perfect rendition of the Matisyahu hit “One Day” and we dare you to watch it without smiling.

Yoni and Nina Tokayer racked up more than one million views on Facebook when they uploaded the video last week, which features the two sitting in a parked car displaying melodic pipes and some very impressive beat boxing skills. The Tel-Aviv based couple are part of their own musical duet group Yonina, and have almost 70,000 followers on Facebook.

Their biggest fan hands down, however, has to be their baby—who flucates between engrossed audience member and giggling participator.
