This parrot has a favorite tune, and she’s learned how to use Alexa to hear it on repeat! Molly the African Grey has developed a fondness for Barbara Ann by the Beach Boys. She even dances and sings along when she hears it! Her owner caught some of the most hilarious footage of the music-loving bird commanding their virtual assistant to play the song.

Unfortunately, it seems like the parrot doesn’t fully grasp the concept of how Alexa works. Either that, or she really likes listening to the beginning of her favorite song again and again. In her owner’s video, Molly demanded to hear Barbara Ann several times after it had already begun playing. That’s not annoying at all!
When Molly actually lets the song play, though, she often bobs her head to the music. Her owner captured the cutest clip of her singing along, too! Even though she wasn’t quite in synch with the Beach Boys, it was still pretty cute. Honestly, it’s probably this parrot’s adorable enthusiasm that keeps her pet parent from losing their mind every time Alexa blasts the same tune!
“Molly’s new favorite song… that I get the luxury of hearing over and over,” they wrote in their social media caption. “She especially likes the intro.”
How often does this parrot listen to Barbara Ann? More than you’d think!
In the comments section, Molly’s owner shared that the entire video was recorded over the course of 11 minutes. This means that the bird asked Alexa to play Barbara Ann about six times in that short span!
“Imagine what the day looks like lol,” Molly’s human added.
Commenters thought this clip of the parrot listening to her favorite song on repeat was way too funny, even if her habit was starting to get on her owner’s nerves.
“Amazon’s algorithms cannot figure out why this one house plays Barbara Ann 40 times a day,” one person wrote.
Apparently, this video was surprisingly educational for a number of users who’d been mishearing the lyrics for years.
“Not me just realizing it’s ‘Barbara Ann’ and not bop bop bop bop bopperan,” someone said.
As excellent a song as Barbara Ann is, and as much as people are enjoying this bird’s affinity for it, we hope Molly picks a new favorite before her human loses it!
