I'm looking for this song from a Mountain Dew commercial that aired several years back (5-8 years maybe, not sure). The commercial has all female extreme athletes skydiving, snowboarding, etc. and the song is being sung by a short-haired brunette. I think I remember seeing the girls all doing their thing off of skyscrapers. The lyrics go "Thank goodness for little girls" and then, this is the part I'm not sure about, but it goes "[something, something] they grow bigger everyday." Some help please, it's been bugging the hell out of me.

I know that the original version of that song is on the Gigi soundtrack. It's called "Thank Heaven for Little Girls". That's a place to start anyway.

Perry Como - Thank Heaven for Little Girls

But yeah the original Gigi version is most likely what you're after.
