Lyrics:
♬Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites, when the bee stings
When I’m feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don’t feel so bad♬

Hey, SungyoungLEE! Thank you for your post on this ad. Do you know the name of the actress who’s driving the car? Thanks!
Female singer in Volvo tv ad says “whiskers from kittens”. Correct words are “whiskers on kittens.” Big mistake, turns a cute reference on its head.
listen again, she says the correct words.

Regina is correct: The singer says “Whiskers from kittens”. A disturbing image.
That , together with the singers overly precise articulation “kittens” and “mittens”
adds up to a creepy , cold feeling…..
You’re wrong. She doesn’t know the words. And apparently neither does Volvo who allowed this!
Thank you!! Sound of Music— one of my favorites. I just heard the commercial and heard the same thing and I cannot believe Volvo allowed the wrong lyrics o their ad!!
Brilliant reproduction of a classic! It deserves to be released as a single, is there a full length version anywhere?
I want the full length copy of the remix version on the Volvo CX40 commercial that lasts only 30 seconds

This is not the version from the commercial
She says ‘whiskas” on kittens
What are the words repeated at the end of the song?
