4 bugmom 10.04.07 at 5:59 pm

This is so crazy freakin funny!!! Love the surprise ending!!! Reminds me of the bird in Shrek singing with Fiona……
I will be singing this all the time now too.

5 hibousoir 10.04.07 at 6:05 pm

THAT’S a song I didn’t need to have in my head today . . . but it might keep me from eating too moishe. lol

6 jen 10.04.07 at 6:08 pm

i just sprayed my screen.

it needed a cleaning anywheys.

hillaryass!!

7 Mello 10.04.07 at 6:16 pm

I was watching the video thinking it was stupid and in my head suggested, “if they shot the bird at the end, I would laugh.” Then it exploded.

I didn’t laugh though. Hmmm…

8 Annie 10.04.07 at 6:17 pm

you mean you guys haven’t been singing it since Meg put it on for us the first time.
OMG I go around singing it all weekend as I work in my garden
And The video. Tres Cute and the surprise ending is the BOMB
Hehehehe

9 rcg 10.04.07 at 6:24 pm

Sorry. Not that cute.

10 bleep 10.04.07 at 6:27 pm

wtf?

11 Mel 10.04.07 at 6:32 pm

So, it’s not “et tu mange?” Okay, makes more sense now. Specially with pudgie mc birdersons

12 luvinmalssomuch 10.04.07 at 6:33 pm

I should have stayed over with the cat in the wok.

13 Kara 10.04.07 at 6:42 pm

… was that real, or have I been hitting the Constant Comment a bit too hard today?

14 Manda 10.04.07 at 6:44 pm

I thought it was speaking Frawnch too. Like the lyrics…not so sure about this particular melody. And what’s up with the slight snoring at the beginning?

15 marmar 10.04.07 at 6:48 pm

It would have been enough WITHOUT the suprise ending. I’m not offended, but it took away from the effect of rest. Otherwise, beee-youuu-tee-fulll.

16 Pat Trenner 10.04.07 at 6:49 pm

That’s the voice of our very own Golden Songbird, Ms. Meg. Beautiful. Funny. Clever. Verily, she doth ROK.

17 Kaye 10.04.07 at 6:55 pm

I hear honk-shus in background. What’s up with that?

18 Annie 10.04.07 at 6:55 pm

THose snore sounds are pig sounds to go with the I ate tooo moishe lyrics. And yep it is meg and she did it becasue some peeps didn’t know how to say Moische and
Oh never mind,
I like It. including the ending it reminds me of all those cartoons I watched growing up.

19 Jorden 10.04.07 at 6:59 pm

HA HA HA-that’s afunny!

20 liz 10.04.07 at 7:23 pm

21 anner 10.04.07 at 7:24 pm

[urp!]

22 Cara 10.04.07 at 7:29 pm

It’s a bit like these old Terry Gilliam animations in Monty Pythons Flying Circus!
Me like too moishe!

23 snorgler 10.04.07 at 7:29 pm

Fan-feakin’-tastic! Thanks so moische, Meg!

24 fatcat 10.04.07 at 7:43 pm

haaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaa*gasps for air*haaaahaaaaa! Whoever made tis is a GENIUS! Thanks so moishe!

25 NYgirly 10.04.07 at 7:45 pm

thas thilly :P

26 berthaslave 10.04.07 at 8:10 pm

Yah, totally Gilliam. And since it’s not a real bird, then it’s funny.

27 musicchick2 10.04.07 at 8:14 pm

hil-AIR_eous!! Meggy Moo’s got her own video now!! What’s next? Interwebz domination?? ;-)

28 belphebe 10.04.07 at 8:28 pm

I’ll be singing this song Monday afternoon, right after I finish the huge turkey dinner! (Canadian Thanksgiving)

Love the video. Did the bird have a wafer-thin mint just before the end?

29 C.S.O. 10.04.07 at 8:32 pm

THAT IS THE MOST OOC THING TO EVER HIT CO!!!!! OMG. OMG.

30 Hikari 10.04.07 at 8:42 pm

…It explodes into an owl?? I love it.

31 MamaLana 10.04.07 at 8:54 pm

What language is that?

32 Rebecca 10.04.07 at 9:23 pm

OK, I did this by accident, but it works out great. If you have the tab function on your browser (like with Mozilla), start the song on one window and then start in on another window for a round effect (like Frere Jacques). More of the song can only be better!

33 Sarah K 10.04.07 at 9:35 pm

This is not cute. AT ALL!!!!!

*grumbles*

34 Lady Chroe 10.04.07 at 9:42 pm

OMG – Rebecca – I just spent 10 minutes playing this song on four open windows. It was too funny!

35 Shelly 10.04.07 at 9:47 pm

Rebecca: I did that to see what you got, and you’re so right! In fact, I played it 4 times in 2 tabs. It was great! Only prob is that now it won’t let me switch between tabs when then video’s playing. I think I brokes it. :(

36 Persephone 10.04.07 at 9:54 pm

And my not-so-secret crush on Meg is exacerbated. What an adorable voice! <3

I’ll never forget that little guy.

OHH NOES!! I GAVE THE WRONG LINK!! I’ll never live it down.

THIS, PEOPLE, THIS is the link to the Golden Crowned Fluffsplodelet:

39 ka9q's wife 10.04.07 at 9:59 pm

If Meg sings that song every night and it’s true, how does she stay so trim and svelte.

*Regrets the drive thru food I just had. Then remembers that I did have a diet coke with lemon with my food. Doesn’t that make everything else low cal too?*

40 Theo 10.04.07 at 10:13 pm

Theresa — fixed it. Sorta.

41 bats :[ 10.04.07 at 10:28 pm

Brovo! Brava! I love sick stuff like this! It’s an instant fave!

42 Theo 10.04.07 at 10:36 pm

Oh hey peeps. I just went back and added all the animated posts I could find to the “Cartoons” category. This includes the RCFs*.

I’ve felt that the Cartoons section has been under-represented for a long time; this helps flesh it out a bit. Happy browsing!

43 MK 10.04.07 at 10:36 pm

Whoa! My pic has gone global!

44 Theresa 10.04.07 at 11:01 pm

Theo, thanks so much for not letting me send everybody everybody to the Green Hell of Information Science. ;) You’re a real pal.

45 Patty P 10.04.07 at 11:51 pm

Absolutely love it! I’ve watched it over and over and laugh each time. Keep ‘em coming!

I think that anybody who didn’t like it is entirely too serious. About a lot of stuff…

46 AuntieMame 10.05.07 at 3:11 am

Ha! I finally got to see it! I can’t watch videos at work…

It’s Mr. Creosote (if he was a bird). :-D DD

47 Rachel of Cyberia 10.05.07 at 3:28 am

Rebecca, you are a super-genius–though my cat attacked my speakers.

48 ka9q's wife 10.05.07 at 4:41 am

gol durn it. I keep hearing that song in my head.
Make it stop.

49 jennyvier 10.05.07 at 6:14 am

Oh man – i just came here to e-mail you the link and then here it was!

Hilarious. My new favourite song.

50 jennyvier 10.05.07 at 6:14 am

Oh man – i just came here to e-mail you the link and then here it was!

Hilarious. My new favourite song.

51 jennyvier 10.05.07 at 6:14 am

Oh man – i just came here to e-mail you the link and then here it was!

Hilarious. My new favourite song.

52 Andy J 10.05.07 at 7:28 am

What the hayle?! Thru the magic of hey’sploshon, the birdie shifts shape into an ow-ell! crazy! hi-larius!

53 Tygress22 10.05.07 at 12:10 pm

this made me chuckle. I think it should be the theme song for Thanksgiving!

Also, did anyone look at the related vids? The Absolutely Adorable ones are all pics from CO :)

54 Kwazy_Kat_Lady 10.05.07 at 12:24 pm

Best. Video. Ever. My kids made me replay it about 10 times before school this morning. Now the teachers will be treated to rousing rounds of “I Ate Too Moishe” all day long! I hope they appreciate it. LOL

55 Kwazy_Kat_Lady 10.05.07 at 12:26 pm

Tyg, yes, my behbehs also love the dramatic groundhog/prairie dog turn around thing. That little dude reminds me of John Black, for those of you who watch Days of Our Lives. Soooo dramatical!

56 jen 10.05.07 at 1:28 pm

i’m still singing this song!!!

57 miu 10.05.07 at 1:42 pm

Too moish! The birdy goes Boom Boom! :)

58 CuteBabyFix.com 10.05.07 at 1:58 pm

I just told my mr. 4 year old pants that if he ran and did his chores really fast, he could watch i ate too moische again. He got done in record time! Just another service that CO offers!

59 Trent T. 10.05.07 at 2:08 pm

I’m glad you liked the video. It was our office theme song and I had to do something with it. So I am glad you guys like it so much! I feel loved!

60 Theresa 10.05.07 at 2:09 pm

I must say I’m surprised at the pronunshiashun of “moische.” It sounds like “moosh” to me. I thought it would be more like “moische.” :P

61 Space Cowgirl 10.05.07 at 2:39 pm

Pure genius. Meg, if it makes you feel any better – youse not fat, youse fluffy.

62 anner 10.05.07 at 2:41 pm

i thought it would sound like “mwash” as in “voila”.

a day later, earworm is in full effect, continually reminding me of my own overindulgence at the noodle house yesterday, which coincided with this post. happy to report i did not (quite) explode.

has anyone figured out what’s with the owl?

theo – there are many kinds of crushes. i’m sure persephone just thinks meg is anerables and wants to nawm on her ear. wait, that didn’t come out quite right…

63 Noelegy 10.05.07 at 2:43 pm

Well, see, there is French, and then there is Frawnch (or Frawnsch). The latter is spoken at CuteOverload.

I have to admit this got repeated plays at my house (darnit, I can’t see it at work so as to send to my coworkers). What’s funny is to open it in two or more windows and get a “row row row your boat” singing round going with it.

Meg, your voice made Philo kitteh cock his head and look at the screen, bemusedly.

64 Trent T. 10.05.07 at 2:48 pm

I needed a picture of a tree and well… the owl was just kinda there and I was like. Owell.

65 Persephone 10.05.07 at 3:04 pm

Theo — I know she’s married. I’m married too. No harm in looking/listening, though. :)

66 Persephone 10.05.07 at 3:06 pm

And anner, I think my husband would get jealous if I were to nawm on other people’s ears. :D

67 joodster 10.05.07 at 4:16 pm

Ze Fronsh chanteuse, Edith Piaf, would be zo vewry pwroud of vous Madame Meg.

68 Theresa 10.05.07 at 4:42 pm

BTW, nice cadential ornamentation, from a moosikle standpoint. ;)

69 Cozytailmom 10.05.07 at 5:08 pm

Waaaaaaah?
It is cute.

70 bugmom 10.05.07 at 5:08 pm

My daughter made me play this over and over last night too!!!! I can see it spreading like wildfire throughout the frist grade….sheesh, everything else seems to!

71 Yitzysmommie 10.05.07 at 5:26 pm

So we went out to dinner last night and indeed I did eat too moische and when I started singing this leetle songlet my beloved looked over at me and said “What? Huh? Moische? Waddyootalkin’bout?”
I had to play it for him, and he began to sing along too.

72 snorgler 10.05.07 at 5:31 pm

I think this might be the most persistant earworm EVAR!

73 tomiko 10.05.07 at 5:42 pm

What is wrong with my eyes? When I first saw this picture, I thought it was an upside-down lemur with it’s head stuck in a test tube. Finally, when I turned up the sound, I figured out where the mouth was. I think I need glasses or a brain transplat.

74 Theo 10.05.07 at 5:58 pm

“Brain transplat” might be the best typo ever.
Definitely the best one today.

75 Sharon 10.05.07 at 6:02 pm

Okay, I study birds and I have never heard a golden crowned kinglet sing like that…let alone explode into an owl.

76 Theo 10.05.07 at 6:05 pm

Yeah, I wondered about that too. (Hi BirdChick!)

77 Lisa 10.05.07 at 6:18 pm

Freakin’ hilarious. SOME people need to grow a sense of humor. Not naming any names.

78 Shannon M 10.05.07 at 6:36 pm

I am STILL laughing out loud. This just cracked me up!

79 tomiko 10.05.07 at 7:32 pm

Aww, Theo’s pickin on me!

See, that typo proves the point–I do need the latter.

80 Theo 10.05.07 at 7:33 pm

Tomiko — would an espresso do?

81 Sharon 10.05.07 at 8:17 pm

Hi Theo,

I can’t stop playing ze video and now ze song is stuck in my head.

82 Suzanne 10.05.07 at 10:18 pm

Just in time for Canadian Thanksgiving!!!

83 Theresa 10.05.07 at 11:45 pm

BeCAWZE it is not ze Golden-Crowned Kinglet– It is the Golden Crowned Fluffsplodelet. I thought we had established thees.
(fold arms)

84 Annie 10.05.07 at 11:47 pm

Sits at computer at end of long work day singing
IIIIIIIIIII Ate tooo Moish I Ate toooooo MOishe IIIIIIIIIIIIIII ate to Moishe’
Ba da bumb.

85 Annie 10.05.07 at 11:47 pm

86 Cass 10.06.07 at 12:09 am

um, helrye? Not only was this uber-cute, the rest of the vids on the scroll at the bottom of it when it’s over is uber-tuuuuute too!!

87 KiWi 10.06.07 at 3:06 am

Happy Thanksgiving to all the Canucks out there in the interwebs! This just about covers what it’s all about right?

88 Theresa 10.06.07 at 3:19 am

Is it also almost the end of Ramadan? I’m anticipating a huge Canadian-Muslim chorus of “I aaaate too moishe.”

89 Amalia 10.07.07 at 5:04 pm

I like how it apparently ate an owl. Look at whats behind when it explodes!! or else the owl is an ASSASIN..oooooooo

90 jewelia 10.08.07 at 7:09 pm

f’n weird.

91 Elizabeth 01.01.08 at 8:37 pm
