I once saw a t-shirt on a camping trip which said "WHALES SING".  It was
perhaps the most beautifully eloquent two-word phrase I had ever read.
That was about 16 years ago, and to this day I still think how in two
simple words it profoundly summarized what science has been lecturing on
for years regarding the intelligence and special nature of whales.
