When Pigs Fly: Songs You Never Thought You'd Hear is a compilation album[1] thought of and produced by musician Cevin Soling in 2002.[2][3]

In 2002, Cevin served as executive producer of the album When Pigs Fly: Songs You Never Thought You'd Hear, which is a collection of popular songs recorded by artists unlikely to record them. After his earlier success convincing Kevin DuBrow of Quiet Riot to record a mellow version of the song "Metal Health" with him for his band The Neanderthal Spongecake, he got the idea for the project and began recruiting musicians to participate.[1][4]
Some of the songs on the album include a version of Unforgettable by Ani DiFranco and Jackie Chan, which he co-produced with DiFranco, Blondie's "Call Me" by Alex Chilton and his band The Box Tops, and a cover of Shock The Monkey by Don Ho which Cevin also produced.[1][3][5]
