Farmer Derek serenades his cows with Lorde’s “Royals”

Farmer Derek Klingenberg gets millions of views for his parody song videos of pop songs like “What Does The Farmer Say?” (parody of the viral video “What Does The Fox Say?”).

But for this video, Farmer Derek brings it down to basics – just him, a chair and his trombone as he blares Lorde’s hit “Royals.”

Clearly the cows appreciate the effort as they come from afar to stand and listen.

But Farmer Derek isn’t content to just serenade. Stick around for the end (3:50 mark) where he goes for the audience participation, and gets it.

Animals just kill me.

Seal pup catches a ride on surfer’s board

Baby seal catches a ride on cute surfer’s board

OMG! I want one!!!

Mathew Stanley captured this GoPro footage of a baby seal climbing on his board and playing with him and a friend in the water.

“Me and my friend Andrew Flounders were out enjoying some summer waves when this little guy came along and scared the hell out of Andy because we didn’t know what it was! It nudged his foot from underneath,” he explained.

After an hour or so of playing around with the pup, the guys decided to head back to the shore, but the little guy hadn’t finished and tried to follow them up the beach. “When we got home Andy rang the local marine wildlife authority to make them aware of what occurred just in case the seal was unwell… He didn’t seem unwell when he was surfing in like a pro!”
