Content Summary

In this clip from Pablo, a song makes happy feeling shapes dance around the room. Mouse and the friends want to keep pressing the button to hear the song again. Draff does not want to hear the same song again and again. When the song stops, the shapes start to melt away. Pablo asks Mouse to tie the shapes into a circle so they go round forever, but Draff does not want that.
