In only two days, a 59-second clip filmed by mum Christina Childs and put to music by family friend Rob Sharpe has been watched by more than 10.7 million viewers on YouTube, reports The Courier Mail. My First Hardcore Song by Juliet is a tongue-in-cheek heavy metal number telling of her love for Robert, 2, and her pet fish. Her trampoline transforms into a mosh pit filled with stuffed animals.
When the clip was reviewed on UK music website Metal Hammer, it went wild online. Then came telephone calls from the US ABC network, German television and Good Morning America. Mrs Childs and husband Steven said they had also been approached by PR companies offering to transform Juliet into a "brand'' they could all cash in on.
But the Bulimba parents have decided to take matters into their own hands. Juliet's song features on T-shirts sold by a friend online and is available on iTunes (where it has reached No.2 on the metal charts) but it's going no further - she's back to school tomorrow. "She's in Grade 3, she's got homework next week so she's busy,'' Mrs Childs said. "It's insane.
"You would never think this would happen.''Mr Childs said he was looking forward to all the attention dying down so he could dig out the clip again and show it at his daughter's 18th birthday. Any money raised by the video will go into the trust fund set up for Juliet long before the internet hype, which her parents hope will pay for a car or overseas travel when she leaves school.
