Frank Sinatra it is not but take a listen to a genetically-engineered mouse bred by Japanese scientists at of Osaka University.
Why the scientists are spending their time creating a race of mutant singing mice is a question for another day – the project’s lead researcher Arikuni Uchimura says that one day he hopes the work will result in the creation of “a Mickey Mouse.”
In the near term, however, Uchimura and his colleagues hope to uncover clues to the evolution of human language. So far, the project has resulted in the creation of more than 100 ‘singing mice’ for the researchers to study.
“Mutations are the driving force of evolution,” Uchimura told AFP. “We have cross-bred the genetically modified mice for generations to see what would happen. We checked the newly born mice one by one… One day we found a mouse that was singing like a bird.”- CBS News
The scientists worked with mice because they are mammals just like man. Can be these mice’s promoter when they form a chorus.

Not impressed also. Take the mouse out of the box. So he can stop walking on whatever substance that is. It must be quite painful.

Man, this really worries me. Ever saw Planet of the Apes? That's were we're headed. Giant mice riding horses, cursing at blond haired blue-eyed people in Japanese.

"Disney unimpressed…"
Disney is in Tokyo, it's the Universal Studios theme park that they have in Osaka.

Would it be wrong to feel some attraction, of a sexual nature, to a singing mouse?
…well, at least the top three.

Jebus is going to be pissed. You all KNOW evolution is only a theory! The pope don't like that crap neither.
But I was impressed with the tune the mice were singing:
Hello, my baby
Hello, my honey
Hello, my ragtime gal
Send me a kiss by wire
Baby, my hearts on fire
If you refuse me
Honey, you'll lose me
Then you'll be left alone
Oh baby, telephone
And tell me I'm your own
Hello, my baby
Hello, my honey
Hello, my ragtime gal
Send me a kiss by wire
Baby, my hearts on fire
If you refuse me
Honey, you'll lose me
Then you'll be left alone
Oh baby, telephone
And tell me I'm your own

Leon LaPorte 6, the pope says:
" …there is much scientific proof in favor of evolution, which appears as a reality that we must see and which enriches our understanding of life and being …"
