Can anyone help me identify a song. It goes something like "Oh me, oh my. I see, I spy. Spy my little eye" and is sung in quite a childlike way. Like an adult would sing to a small child. It's actually from a McDonalds advert in Oz, but nobody in the adverts section can help me!

Ta very much

The 60 second ad begins with an office worker reaching for a top shelf to put away a file. All of a sudden she freezes. A hatch in her front opens and out comes a child. The little girl makes a rendevous with a little boy emerging from the body of another frozen office worker. In the basement car park a shopping couple freeze as they open up their car. Their inner children get in and drive off. We see the inner children of a jogger, bus driver, swimmer, courier, storage worker, window washer, executive and tourist.

The crowds of children arrive at McDonalds/McCafe to enjoy their healthy meals and gourmet coffee, finding their places at long benches, booths, enjoying the warm lighting, comfy chairs and the number of food choices. A voiceover urges the viewer to �Come see what�s changed and feed your inner child�. The ad finishes with the two office workers unfreezing to find themselves in the possession of a burger and a yoghurt dessert. At this point I don't know where the music comes from or if it was written especially for the ad. The lyrics are:
Oh Me, Oh My
My Me, My My
A funny thing like that
So wondering I try

I see, I spy
My me, My eye
Spy my little eye
I spy my me oh my
My my, my me
My my
 

The music was composed especially for this ad by a staff composer at Nylon Studios in Sydney named Elliot Wheeler. The song is performed by Melanie Horsnell - an Australian singer, songwriter. She has a web site at www.melaniehorsnell.com. The lyric is published with some other details on an ads site at the following link http://tvadverts.blogspot.com/2005_09_01_tvadverts_archi ve.html
