Why did Pavarottis dog salivate when it heard a bell?
Pavarotti was an Italian opera singer who sang the theme tune to the Football World Cup. Pavlov was the scientist who showed associated conditioning was a powerful way to change the behavior of animals including humans. He trained his dogs to associate ringing of a bell with food by feeding the dogs just after ringing the bell for a couple of weeks then just rang the bell to get the dogs to salivate.

PAVLOV – not PAVAROTTI. PAVLOV trained dogs to expect food, when they heard a bell. After a while, the dogs would salivate, whenever they heard a bell (because they expected food). PAVAROTTI is the recently deceased supreme tenor – although some might say Domingo or Carerra have warmer voices. But PAVAROTTI had unrivalled control.
