Ellen DeGeneres Is a Dancing Goldilocks in Beats Music’s Super Bowl Ad

Ellen DeGeneres will be among the parade of celebrities in this Sunday's Super Bowl, as she dances with bears and wolves in a stylish and amusing Goldilocks and the Three Bears parody for Beats Music, the subscription-based online music-streaming service.

You can see the full spot—or at least a version of it, running longer than 60 seconds—within the clip below, which will air Thursday on DeGeneres's talk show. The Beats Music app is "something I absolutely love," she says in introducing it. "I had so much fun shooting the commercial. And you're really not supposed to see it until the Super Bowl, but it's my birthday and my show, so I get to do what I want."

Beats Music also aired a spot on the Grammys that was written and narrated by Trent Reznor, who serves as chief creative officer for the service.
