Here's a delightfully morbid little song (and animation) in Spanish about a little tiny mammoth that does things to excess and pays the price. Let this be a lesson to everyone not to do things in excess (well, maybe some of these things should just not be done at all). Also, if you have friends like this little mammoth does, maybe you need new friends.
It's in Spanish. Here are the words with line-by-line translations beneath them.
