Animals Loving Music

According to a study from 2001, researchers found that dairy cows that listened to certain types of music produced more milk and were more relaxed. According to the study, music tempo affects the cows' productivity. So, songs like REM's "Everybody Hurts" or Simon & Garfunkle's "Bridge Over Troubled Water" and even Beethoven's "Pastoral Symphony" resulted in the cows producing 3% more milk. They weren't moo-ved by songs like Bananarama's "Venus" or The Beetle's "Back in the USSR." Go figure.
