Boléro by Ravel is the original "put the same song on repeat for four hours" vibe, and I respect it.

Photograph of first pig to fly, 1909

The first historically recorded flight of a pig took place on at Leysdown in Kent (Great Britain) on November 4th, 1909. With this flight, the aristocratic British aviator made porcine aviation a reality. He fixed a wicker basket to a wing strut of his Voisin biplane and carefully strapped a pig into it. The basket had a hand written sign “I am the first pig to fly”. Then he took the bemused pig for a flight of about 3.7 miles from Shellbeach, the Short Brothers airfield at Leysdown on the Isle of Sheppey.

#'i am the first pig to fly' shirt anyone??? #shades of archer's goon (pigs have wings making them hard to catch)
