In this episode we check in on some recent developments in the science of animals and music, including dancing rats, death metal bats, and a new mystery in the already mysterious world of whale songs. We also discuss animal fronted hardcore bands, the totemic presence of our animal friends in music generally, and test our collective knowledge of animal references in famous song titles and band names.
