Every emperor penguin has a heartsong, which they discover at a young age. They cannot be taught this, as the heartsong differs from penguin to penguin. They must use this song to attract a mate.

Usage

The process of finding a mate begins when a large collection of male penguins gathers around a single female, who begins to sing her heartsong. Other males are free to attempt to sing their own, and if they match up and the female likes the male, they mate. All of the penguins can also join in and sing another's heartsong, as shown in the scene where everybody was singing Boogie Wonderland and also in the end of the film where they all danced to Songs of the Heart by Prince. In the winter, when the women leave to get food, they sing Never Can Say Goodbye by the Jackson Five. The males chant.

List of Heartsongs

Gloria

Boogie Wonderland by Earth, Wind & Fire

Seymour

The Message by Grandmaster Flash

Memphis

Heartbreak Hotel by Elvis Presley

Norma Jean

Kiss by Prince

Mumble

He does not have a heartsong, as he cannot sing. Instead, he tap-dances. Speculation, however, exists that his heartsong may be I Wish by Stevie Wonder, due to the use of the song numerous times within the film, and since he cannot sing it, but can tap it rather. He can also come up with a dance on the spot, and easily can tap to practically any song. During the end credits, he and other penguins are seen tapping/dancing to Song of the Heart by Prince.

Unknown Penguins

Only You by The Platters (Line: Only you can make this world seem right)

Your Bon Bon by Ricky Martin (Line: Shake your bon bon, shake your bon bon)

Hello by Lionel Richie (Line: Hello! Is it me you're looking for?)

Other Penguins

The Amigos and other Adélie Penguins do not use heartsongs. Instead, they collect Lovestones. Whoever has the biggest pile is the most eligible mate.
