Have you seen this commercial yet?! It starts with a momma bird feeding her babies mentos, then the birds start chirping a song. They show all types of birds, from a pet canary to flamingos to penguins, even a (Woody) Woodpecker, who pecks out the song’s rhythm. It makes absolutely no sense - I mean, why would birds want a Mentos?! _laughs_ BUT, it’s catchy and it’s driving my daughter and I batty (or would that be birdy? :D) trying to figure out what song the birds are chirping! Does anyone out there know what song this is, if it -is- a song, that is. _laughs_

Yes, this might well belong in MPSIMS; I put it in Cafe Society since it’s a commercial. Please move, if necessary. 🙂
