A Good Reason to Lose Sleep?

Probably not, but when the urge comes I can't deny it.

The snickers commercial came on where a guy in a carpet store is sitting at his desk about to eat a snickers when another guys comes up and says, "let me help you enjoy that snickers." Guy #2 then pulls out a guitar and sings the following:

Happy peanuts soar
Over chocolate covered mountaintops
And waterfalls of caramel
Prancing nougat* in the meadow
Sings a song of satisfaction
To the world

And they harmonize "To the world." Then guy #1, obviously touched by the song looks at his snickers bar and whispers, "The world!" As the scene fades to black guy #2 pats guy #1 on the shoulder and says, "That's right."

Well, that commercial came on and I had to spend 10 minutes writing down the lyrics and figuring out the chords. I did, and now I can go to bed satisfied, as it were.

    I have to admit I have a soft spot for that commercial too. I thought guy number one just said "The world" at the end, but I could be wrong. I really like the singer's voice. Tenors are always so nice.

    I alas have nothing to barter with...except this. It's spelled: Nougat

    Having editors in the comments makes the post more accurate, but renders the comments nonsensical.

    I found the snickers commercial with lyrics! Now we can all sway to and fro while listening.
