Are you sure it's not on an Edison tinfoil?

Do you want even MORE sheep??  Sound effects turntables often had two
tone arms.  You can play the record with both arms and double the size
of the flock.  Or if the flock doesn't bleat long enough for your scene,
put the second arm near the start of the track as the first arm nears
the end and do a cross fade.  Endless sheep!!!

It's amazing what you can do when you stick out your foot in front of a
server.  Maybe that's why you didn't get your coffee refill!
