One is a basic video, appearing almost homemade, featuring the band in the studio. It begins with Kevin Cronin playing the piano, attempting to find the key in which he can best sing the song ( starting off in G major, he later decides he can sing it better in A ). After Cronin exchanges some laughs with his bandmates, the song officially begins ; the video essentially consists of the band members lip - synching to the original track of the song. It then concludes with Cronin uttering the line, `` That warmed the cockles of my cockles ! '' The other version of the video is much more `` professional, '' and makes various references to the life - cycle. Both videos have been shown at various times on VH1 Classic ( now known as MTV Classic ). In popular culture It was referred to in The CW show Supernatural, in season 2 episode 5, `` Simon Said ''. Jo Harvelle turns this song on for Dean Winchester in Harvelle 's Roadhouse. Later, he sings it in the car ( claiming the song had stuck in his head to a very confused Sam Winchester ). It was also featured in the South Park episode Miss Teacher Bangs a Boy, and the musical Rock of Ages. It was featured prominently in advertisements for the film, Horton Hears a Who !, and sung by the major characters near the end of the film as the titular character celebrates his vindication and his charges ' salvation. In 2016, the song was used in the UK and US on ads for Sheba cat food.
