As children huddled together for warmth in a crowded lifeboat, they were comforted by the repeated playing of a musical toy pig, used to block out the cries of the dying in the water around them.
But in the century since the tragedy, while the pig has survived, its song has been silenced, its mechanism broken.

I can name that tune in three notes. Is it “Poker Face”, by Lady Gaga?

It’s a toy pig that plays music. I imagine the muslims will be along shortly to demand that it be destroyed.

Lady Gaga? I wouldn’t poke her face with even a borrowed musical pig.

Try

If I remember correctly it was also in the movie “Cheaper by the Dozen”, where the daughter sang about chewing gum (before she fell).
