The one-upmanship morphs into a world music dance party, as the rest of the rodent posse dances in with a diverse range of instruments. The "Soul Jam," as the spot is called, is so irresistible, it also brings other musicians rushing into the park to join the ensemble. The 60-second ad will make its debut in movie theaters this week.
