Dolphins sing 'Batman' theme

  Dolphin


Scientists have taught dolphins to combine both rhythm and vocalisations to produce music,
resulting in an extremely high-pitched, short version of the Batman theme song.

The findings, outlined in two studies, are the first time that nonhuman mammals have demonstrated they can recognise rhythms and reproduce them vocally

If they were going to all that trouble, couldn't they have picked a better song? Whoever picked the theme from Batman?
