No Wagner while driving: British foundation

LONDON - Richard Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries may be a popular choice for movie soundtracks and musical scores -- appearing in everything from Apocalypse Now to the Bugs Bunny cartoon What's Opera, Doc? -- but the strident classical composition was named Wednesday the number one tune not to play while driving.
Based on its research that found loud music can cause accidents, Britain's RAC Foundation for Motoring compiled a list of the top five worst songs to play while driving.
Led by Wagner's classic, the list of songs not to play also included the Dies Irae from Giuseppe Verdi's Requiem and three modern songs: Firestarter by Prodigy, Red Alert by Basement Jaxx and Insomnia by Faithless.
On the flip side, the foundation said music-loving motorists can safely play the following songs -- quietly -- while driving: Come Away with Me by Norah Jones, Mad World by Gary Jules, Another Day by Lemar, Too Lost in You by The Sugababes and Breathe Easy by Blue.
Both the Wagner and Verdi selections are repeat offenders for the foundation, which advocates environmental, economic and safety issues for British drivers.
Two years ago, the group published a list of songs that were dangerous for drivers because of fast tempos. Ride of the Valkyries topped that list and Dies Irae came in third. |
