Baylor University Men's choir couldn't help but "go nuts" while singing Ryan Cayabyab's song 'Da Coconut Nut.'
Their interpretation went viral after Emirates Airlines posted their onboard performance on their Facebook account last July 21. As of writing it now has 8.1 million views and almost 80k shares.
"When you go coconuts on an Emirates flight. Thank you Baylor University Men's Choir for a great onboard performance," says Emirates on its post.

The song was originally popularized by Smokey Mountain in the Philippines, a group under the mentorship of Maestro Ryan Cayabyab.
The Filipino composer was pleasantly surprised with the Texan choir's performance and shared his reactions on Twitter.
