#Animals6Music

Does your pet love 6music?

You may have missed the video of a horse headbanging to Pantera this week – don’t worry we’re here for you

That reminded us of the academics at the University of Leicester, who discovered that cows produce more milk when they listen to slow jams. Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony and Simon & Garfunkel's Bridge Over Troubled Water were a big hit in the milking shed. But Mud's Tigerfeet and Size of a Cow by Wonderstuff, not so much.

So what would you like to hear in our #Animals6music playlist?

Music for Cats was born from our efforts to bring real, scientifically credible music to as many members of the animal kingdom as possible” American composer David Teie. 

Inspired by our furry friends, we want your help to compile an #Animals6music playlist of your pets favourite songs, or tracks that honour all creatures great and small. Perhaps your hamster is a massive Stone Roses fan, or your cat goes wild to Wuthering Heights. If it’s a great track and it’s about animals, we want to hear it.

You choose the music, so get your recommendations for animal songs to Tom via the hashtag #Animals6Music and help build the playlist. Comment on the Now Playing Facebook page, here on the blog, email nowplaying@bbc.co.uk or drag tracks onto our Spotify playlist.

Love me, love my dog
