It knows how to sing "In The Hall Of The Mountain King" as well:

say -v cellos "Dum dum dum dum dum dum dum he he he ho ho ho fa lah lah lah lah lah lah fa lah full hoo hoo hoo"

OK, how did you discover that?

The "cellos" voice always sings that song, regardless of the words you ask it to speak. The syllables were chosen to fit the song.

Nice! You can do something like:

    python -c "print 'foo ' * 26" | say -v cellos
