Barking Mad
Some stories I read on the net just leave me shaking my head and wondering about people with strange ideas and apparently too much time on their hands. This one, though, also made me laugh. Where else but in New Zealand could this have happened?
I know that things are a little bit different down there sometimes, but this story really tops everything I heard while I lived there myself:
The makers of a chart-topping song only audible to dogs say they hope it can become a global hit.
A Very Silent Night - a Christmas number one in New Zealand - raised money for the country’s Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
How can a song that’s only audible to dogs become a hit? I suppose when they play it on the radio as a human all you hear is silence. Ok, some people would say, compared to the normal program of most radio stations nowadays, silence is actually preferable.
But lots pf people must have bought the CD, ending up listening to silence on their CD players. I reckon, that can only be explained by the fact that most Kiwis are essentially good people and wanted to raise money for the good cause. Which is just one more reason why I love this country and its people so much.
But honestly, I bet my dog would totally ignore the song, just like she does with the rest of the noise from the tv and radio.
