Tulane researchers have confirmed that mice can match the pitch of other mice to blend their voices in singing. This may open up a whole new horizon for mouse music promoters.
It has long been known that male mice sing to attract female mice — a cross species technique. However, mice were previously viewed as . . . well . . . dumb. They were not believed to have the capacity for vocal learning. The next step is Mouse Menudo, though it appears that mice will actually have pitch.
Strangely, the scientists appear to have missed this demonstration in the movie “Babe.”
The Japanese are already developing a crooner mouse as we fall further behind the Lounge Mouse race:

America’s Got Mice…… The Mice….. Mice are real….. Just step away…
Mice that pee in unison will sing in unison. When they are done singing you know that it is time to mop up. I used to work in a lab with all sorts of mice.
Why not Simon and Garmouskel?
LOL! Being a lover of the Mexican soup menudo, made out of tripe, I thought to myself when I read the headline it would take a helluva lot of mice to make just one bowl of soup. I’m glad it’s singing and not soup.
Never knew they could vocalize. I need to do my vocalizations to get ready for church chorus rehearsal tonight. More fun with another so think I’ll practice with the mouse.((*_*))
(Why is it they are cute when you see them on youtube or even in a mouse house but not when theyare in your house?)
The wee ones from liberated Iraq can sing well too:
Bears, ducks, and dogs too.
Dredd, Wow, it is one world, we are all equal humans, joy and pain visits us all. Jeez Iraqis are human beings too,….who would of thunk it ?
Iranians are people too. These innertubes are AMAZING, maybe they are the future hope of the human race.
These mouse songs are better than 98% of the pop music the recording industry spoon feeds the masses these days.
i didn’t know mice could scream either until one caught in a trap with a broken back started to. try explaining that to a 6y/o who wants you to “help it”.

Mayhaps Menudo the group, as opposed to menudo the soup?
Now we know who the Mousketeers were channeling.
