In an episode of Whose Line is it Anyway Colin Mochrie claims the call of the Arctic Tern is a gargled "BACKSTREET BOYS!"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artic_Tern

Here is the exchange:

Ryan Stiles: What kind of bird always says the name of our next band?
Colin Mochrie: Oh, I guess a... tern?
[laughter]
Colin Mochrie: An arctic tern?
Ryan Stiles: And what sound does an arctic tern make?
Colin Mochrie: [in a bird-like squawk] Backstreet Boys?
