I”m not that crazy about ‘Lorde’s’ singing; but I like what others have done with ‘Royals’ - especially the Mike Geier clown character; he has a great voice:

(Actually, thinking about it now, this should be Harry’s wife’s theme song...)

Love how the cattle come running to the trombone. Thanks for posting!

I would have been wee bit nervous they were coming to shut that thing up in his place, though.

The cattle heard a call to get their cubes.

This is why you do not honk at cows on or near a roadway if they got past a fence.

Thanks. Knowing that, I will never honk at a cow. You never know when such a bit of knowledge might come in handy.

They’re probably trained and used to it - probably know they’re going to get fed :-)

Some animals do seem to like music (people have done studies with chickens who lay better when they are exposed to classical music, and don’t do that well when they hear rock music).

There’s a man named Paul Barton who plays piano for elephants who appear to really appreciate it:

Most old farm kids yelled HERE BOSY HERE BOSY.

Cows are not that hard to train.

Just start making the sound that you want them to come to when you start feeding them.

I have seen many hundreds of cows come to the honking of a vehicle horn. From miles around.

Of course people who were not raised around them wouldn’t know.

My Uncle used to call ‘Here, Bossy!’ to his cows.

(And he kissed every pig he sent to slaughter....:-)
