Oakley the dog is no fan of Charli XCX’s [“Boom Clap” ](http://time.com/2818024/charli-xcx-fault-in-our-stars-boom-clap/)and has an uncanny ability to sleep right through [the catchy track](http://time.com/60132/charli-xcx-boom-clap-fault-in-our-stars/). But, the pup’s catnap comes to an abrupt halt when the opening dulcet strains of _Frozen_ track “Let It Go” start up.

On the first note the dog’s ears perk up, turning this way and that like adorable satellite dishes seeking a signal. By the time the opening bars have started, Oakley’s eyes are wide open and when Idina Menzel begins to sing, the pup’s head is up and he is seemingly trying to sing along with the chorus of the omnipresent song.

While in [the commentary](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezz2NqvlORY#t=41) on the video, the puppy’s owner claims this is Oakley’s favorite song, it’s unclear whether he is actually enjoying the tune or trying to make the dreaded earworm stop — at least until the _Frozen_ sequel, which is [still only a rumor](http://time.com/3611616/frozen-sequel-idina-menzel/), hits theaters.

Either way, Oakley is still better at singing “Let It Go” [than Ben Affleck](http://time.com/3449414/ben-affleck-cannot-sing-let-it-go-from-frozen/).
