In Happy Feet, the animated feature film that danced and sang its way to the top of the box office last week, Elijah Wood plays Mumble, an emperor penguin with a tap dancing problem.

But even in Antarctica, there’s a Memphis. Mumble’s father, voiced by Hugh Jackman, is named Memphis. So what does this Memphis sound like?
