AC/DC Encourage 'Macho Posturing' In Bars
added: 27/05/2008

The band that wrote 'Big Balls' are apparently responsible for the male ego in pubs and clubs.

The Times have conducted an experiment that concludes that people who listen to AC/DC are likely to indulge in 'macho posturing and aggressive behaviour' in the bars and clubs of the United Kingdom.

An NHS-funded experiment was conducted by leading scientists in bars and clubs, determining how the music that is played in pubs and clubs affects our behaviour. It found that AC/DC's Highway To Hell was one of many tracks that encouraged loutish behaviour and triggered bar brawls. It makes you wonder what would happen if they put Slayer's 'Mandatory Suicide' on, doesn't it?


On the flip-side, Robbie Williams's 'Angels' was said to 'calm revellers' and '(I've Had) The Time Of My Life' from Dirty Dancing is said to encourage provocative dancing from females (presumably middle-aged divorcees). As if that wasn't enough information, Robbie Williams hits and 'slushy' songs such as Sonny and Cher's 'I Got You Babe' works as a kind of man repellent that deters men from entering a pub or club.

What effect do songs like YMCA, In the navy, Dancing Queen and Moloko's "Sing it back" have?

Not to be outdone by AC DC, the Rolling Stones music can  trigger bar brawls too.


UPI

GLASGOW, Scotland, May 25 (UPI) -- The Rolling Stones can trigger British bar brawls, while the tunes of Robbie Williams can calm drunken crowds, Scottish researchers say.

Does this new research knida vindicate the Hell's Angels behavior at Altamont?????

I wonder if Sonny Barger has been apprised of this study. He can blame the music now. The music made 'em do it.
