Mel Smith & Kim Wilde in bizarre science experiment
December 17, 2008 - 'Rockin' around the Christmas tree', recorded by Mel Smith and Kim Wilde in 1987, is part of a bizarre science experiment in Scotland.
According to an article in the Scotsman, scientists are going to test whether sharks enjoy listening to Christmas pop songs. The songs and other festive hits will be played to the sharks and rays at Loch Lomond Sea Life Centre in Balloch, Dunbartonshire.
Chris Brown, senior marine biologist at the Loch Lomond aquarium, said seasonal chartbusters would be piped through walkthrough underwater tunnels where they can be heard by dozens of nurse sharks, black-tip reef sharks, and ray species. He said: "We'll play everything from Kim Wilde and Mel Smith's Rocking Around the Christmas Tree and Merry Christmas Everybody by Slade to Wham's Last Christmas."
