This bizarre video showing dancing cartoon penises and vaginas has sparked a sex education storm online.
The surreal animation backed with music was shown on a children's program in Sweden to explain about the sexual organs.
But it has since gone global after it was given an adults only rating on YouTube.
The minute-long clip – called Snoppen och Snippan – was shown on Swedish children's programme Bacillakuten last week.
The name of the music video comes from the child-friendly words for penis and vagina: "snipp" and "snopp".
The video is designed to introduce children aged three to six the differences between boys and girls and help them understand the human body.
Some of the video's lyrics translate as: "Here comes the penis at full pace" and "the vagina is cool, you better believe it, even on an old lady. It just sits there so elegantly".
After storm of criticism on Facebook, YouTube re-classified the video as "adult rated", stating it "may be inappropriate for some users" and asking viewers to confirm they were over 18 before watching.
It was only after intervention from TV channel SVT that YouTube agreed the clip was not explicit or aimed at adults and reclassified it.
The cartoon notched up more than one million views within a day of being uploaded.
Kajsa Peters, project manager for Bacillakuten, said: "Bacillakuten's purpose is to teach children about the body and its functions.
"We hope that the song will help in this learning. The song is part of playful learning, which we believe is the best way to reach kids."
