To Calm the Pigs
In the UK, the BBC the BBC broadcasts a regular program(me) aimed at farmers - "Farming Today",
They have included an item about a pig farmer based in Yorkshire, who uses recordings of Bing to calm his pigs.
I think it is intended to be serious.
I have frequently heard of farmers playing music to animals.
I imagine that the playlists are actually compiled by the farmers themsevles however,
For those interested and who can access it, the item can be heard here for the next six days.

Re: To Calm the Pigs
I notice my parakeets like Christmas music and Bing's songs. Bing does seem to calm them down and make them sleepy. I once had parakeets named Bing and Hope.
Peace and Love!

Cowboys in the 1880s sang to their cattle out on the trail.
