(Newser) – Oh baby, it's so hard not to move watching Beyoncé tear up the screen in her Single Ladies video—even if you are wearing a diaper. Baby Cory knows. With a couple of squats, a few leg jiggles and a wag of the head he's gone viral with his dance prowess on YouTube. Cory's video was uploaded to YouTube in January, but views have skyrocketed in the wake of Beyonce's MTV Video of the Year win. Who knows? Little Cory might be up for his own award next year and get to meet Kanye West.
