Watch: Taylor Swift spoofed in 'goats talking like humans' video
Goat duets with star on 'I Knew You Were Trouble'
- Gary Numan & the wolf: More a tale of using an animal to ward off other perils, the eighties singer reportedly stuck a taxidermied wolf outside his front door to ward off burglars in the 1980s. "My intention was to paint an Alaskan skyline on one wall and put the wolf in front on a raised platform," he told the Telegraph earlier this year. "I never did that and now we use him as a burglar deterrent - he sits at the bottom of the stairs."

Just when you think viral videos can't possibly get any weirder, this week brings us a new mash-up, featuring Taylor Swift. And a goat.
If you've ever thought that Swift's vocals were maybe a little screechy during the high parts of 'I Knew You Were Trouble', just take a listen to this.
The videos - imaginatively named 'I Knew You Were A Goat When You Walked In', and also 'I Knew You Were A Sheep When You Walked In' - seems normal enough, until certain parts of the song are replaced with the goat's screeches instead.
It doesn't sound all that different, either.
Goats making human screams isn't anything new to the internet; a previous viral video made the rounds earlier this month which was a supercut compilation of goats sounding like humans.
Still, this is possibly the best we've heard them sound - and makes us think twice about that news story last year involving Freddie Mercury in the recording studio with Michael Jackson's llama. Maybe they were onto something?
Taylor recently spoke to Elle magazine about her habit of writing songs about her ex-boyfriends.
"To me it’s just writing songs the way I always have," she said. "It’s me sitting on my bed feeling pain I didn’t understand, writing a song, and understanding it better."
She added, "If people want to dissect the lyrics, that’s their right, but it’s all coming from the exact same place as where I started. It’s just something I do to feel better."
