Did you know that birth rates spike in Super Bowl winning cities nine months after the big game?

The NFL does.

To help commemorate nearly 50 years of the Super Bowl’s contribution to birth rates, the NFL gathered babies born nine months after Super Bowls, dating all the way back to the 1967 Green Bay Packers’ win.

Year after year, the babies sing a version of Seal’s “Kiss from a Rose;” all the way up to 2014’s winning Seahawks babies. As toddlers, however, they’re not really up to singing quite yet.

The ad will debut Feb. 7 on CBS, and will air in the week leading up to the Super Bowl, according to AdWeek. But fans can view it online now.
