Becky, the Mountain Dude and other members on the boat then suddenly meet with a group of seals singing a rendition of Seal’s song, “Kiss from a Rose.”

While the classic’s original lyrics sing: “ba-ya-ya, ba-da-da-da-da-da, ba-ya-ya,” the sea creatures sang, “Baja, baja, baja, baja.”

Featuring Seal’s face, the seal continues to sing with changed lyrics of, “Ooh, the more I think of it, it’s strange I’m a seal, yeah.”

“My flippers can’t hold Mountain Dew, what a shame,” the musician continues as he loses grip of a bottle of Mountain Dew.

“Dew remains my power, my pleasure, my flame,” he adds before a volcano appears to erupt.

“Well this is the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen,” Becky says.

The ad then ends with Seal in human form, sitting in the boat with the others, stating, “Good-looking Seal,” as the Mountain Dude yells with joy, “None of this makes sense.”

Sharing the video on hisInstagram Stories, Seal wrote: “New Super Bowl commercial featuring me. This was fun.”

The lighthearted commercial comes after Beckypreviously spoke to PEOPLEabout the nickname she was given while on set of the commercial.

“I’m really proud to be doing this with Mountain Dew because there’s just a certain cloth that I’m cut from when it comes to things that make me smile,” she said, adding that her “super cool” nickname was “Super Bowl Becky.”
