Product placement
The video shows a pink toy microphone with a stand. The microphone has "Mick" and "Mick" written on it, and the base has "Mick" and "Mick" written on it. The TV in the background shows a woman singing into a microphone. The toy microphone ACTS as a prop for the children to sing into, and its presence is central to the interaction. Removing it would change the video's focus. The TV show is incidental, as it is background entertainment and not the focus of the video.
