It Only Works With Lots of Bass
The Royal Auto Club Foundation for Motoring has determined what it says is the song most likely to cause an accident if listened to while driving your car. The winner (or loser, depending on perspective) is Richard Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries" (from the opera Die Walküre), followed closely by the "Dies Irae" section of Giuseppe Verdi's Requiem. A trio of more modern tunes by Prodigy, Basement Jaxx, and Faithless round out the top five. Personally, I'd say that any modern lifeless synthesized pop tune is more likely to cause an accident - if only as adesperatee act on the driver's part to make it stop!
