Talk Talk Talk Talk Talk Myself to Death: The Who, The Kinks, The Jam, and . . .

The Who, The Kinks, The Jam, and . . .

You may have seen this, but I had to mention it, as well. Scientists have taught dolphins to vocalize sounds in rhythm. Some might even call it singing. And what was the song that was chosen? Yes, it's one of the greats: Neil Hefti's "Batman Theme." We've all sung it, and the bands in this post's title (as well as a few others) have all covered it. But now dolphins can sing along when Adam West and Burt Ward spring into action, as well. If you have better luck than I did, you may be able to take a listen here or here. (I spent 45 minutes downloading an updated Windows Media Player and couldn't get enough sound to tell what I was hearing.)

It never hurts to expand your circle of friends. Especially if, while swimming in the ocean, you come under attack. If you're temporarily out of Shark Repellent Bat Spray, it's good to be down with the dolphins.
