Mice learn songs in similar way to humans and birds:

Thats a really interesting article Dogs, in fact when I posted about the seahorse this morning there was an article in the Telegraph about it but I didnt have time to read it. I hav just looked at it but the one you posted is so much better and gives loads of information.
I listened to the mice matching each others sounds from the little audio on the clip and its incredible......my cats ignored it but Nero was up and looking, not sure if there is a connection there?

It is amazing how similar to the human brain the brain of a mice is but then again, not that I like it, many drugs are tested on mice and I think some of the Alzheimer drugs are tested on mice, so I suppose we should not be surprised that htey have the capacity to mimick sounds from each other from the same part of the brain as we do.

Loved that article Doogs.
