>>> back now at 7:45 with one of the cutest things we have ever seen. we showed you this video on wednesday, identical 1-year-old twin girls rocking out to their dad's guitar.

>> are you ready?

>> and this morning we brought chloe and alexis here. they are already dancing. they're here with their parents, dan and ashley. we're going to see if we can get them to do it live in a moment. you came from kansas, it's your first visit to new york city . all do you it post a video on youtube and now it's a sensation.

>> it's kind of crazy.

>> it's unexpected.

>> are you overwhelmed by the reaction? i'm sure you guys find these little girls adorable. did you know america would?

>> no, not like this. didn't see this coming.

>> in fact, there's even i believe a parody of this. they've taken what the girls did and play it now to "the night at the roxbury ." the song is a song you composed. do you girls just love music?

>> they do. they love all kinds of music. we kind of emphasize all genres of music. they appreciate it all.

>> are there other songs they like? are you doing "free bird"?

>> i play nianything i can think of, britney spears , pearl jam .

>> and you seem to play at meal time so it's a way to get them to eat their green peas ?

>> it's working.

>> what people love about the video is the way they check each other out right before as if to say okay, let's get this party started. are they in sync a lot?

>> yeah, since they're identical, a lot of stuff they do is the same.

>> kind of like there's our theme song , let's go. so cute. what has the reaction been in. you put the video up. how did it become a viral video ?

>> we had no idea. ellen had it on her twitter page and facebook page and all of a sudden millions of views.

>> do we have stars in our future? are you thinking maybe they'll be on a commercial or something someday? no, she doesn't like that idea. okay, i'm sorry. don't be mad, alexis .

>> did you drop something?

>> oh, no. well, she didn't like the commercial idea. she's like, i'm only 1 years old. what do you think --

>> should we go ahead and give this a shot and have dad get the guitar going?

>> i know it's hard to play guitar on national tv but it's okay. do your best.

>> oh, look, daddy's going to play for you.

>> maybe we'll work that out for you, daddy.

>> here's your cheerio.

>> honey --

>> poor girl.

>> you know, earlier in the green room we did this very experiment and they did great. we should show the video. this was a little bit earlier and they were dancing right on cue. the poor girls have flown all night. they didn't really get a chance. they're probably really tired. this just proves why we don't do live experiments with little babies but, alexis , you're right. it's early, we all feel like crying.

>> radner family, thank you so much. chloe and alexis , we really appreciate it. if the girls want to stick around, we have cher lloyd, very popular with the kids. they can dance to that on our concert stage. thank you very much. you want to play us out to commercial?

>> sure.

>> great to have you here
