It was absolutely amazing. The entire plane was hysterically laughing.

It's only happened once, but I wish it would happen more.
I find, from experience, that on domestic/transborder routes especially on the narrow bodies (i.e. 3XX) that they tend to actually play regular radio/pop/jazz music. On int'l flights or widebodies they tend to play that weird psychodelic music with the animal/plant video.

I vote they should play "Wild Thing" by Tone Loc, or "I'm Too Sexy" by Right Said Fred
