The father of a toddler has found a very rhythmic way to awaken his son from his slumber. He plays Bruno Mars' hit single 'Runaway Baby' directly over his head.

While some parents might find this method unusual, for Walter Piper's son Christian it appears to be a very effective alarm clock.

In a recently posted YouTube video, Piper is seen putting his smart phone over his son's head as 'Runaway Baby' plays from the phone's speaker.

The adorable boy gets up right away and starts an adorable little dance routine right there in his crib.

Moments after his dad woke him up, Christian is smiling and shaking his bottom to Bruno Mars' 'Runaway Baby'

Christian finishes off the video raising his arms in the air to the beat of a Bruno Mars song

Though Christian can't even talk in complete sentences, that hasn't stopped him from learning some dance moves. In the video, Christians starts out by shaking his bottom in he air, a huge smile on his face. He then transitions to throwing his hands up in the air before the 30-second video ends.

What on earth is wrong with parents today? Why would you ever wake a sleeping child? That's selfish, irresponsible and downright cruel. Put the child to bed at the time that he/she will have proper sleep and wake up naturally. No wonder there are behavior issues, the children are not getting proper sleep. Disgusting.

What a wonderfully pampered life you must have. Never had to wake your child to go to a caretaker, nanny or grandparent so you could go to work and provide for your family huh? All of your royal children must must have a very cushy life indeed to never have to wake up before they wake up on their own. It doesn't feel good to be judged by people who don't know you, or your situation does it. This little one is clean, clothed well and wakes up smiling and happy. Many kids wake up cold, hungry and crying, however THESE are the people you are choosing to place judgement on? Disgusting.

This little guy has some great moves. How to believe he has so much physical coordination at such a young age! Even at many years later, I still can't dance.
