3 Places classical music should be played

Had a conversation today about the fact that they play classical music in certain tube stations. The person I was talking to claimed that the reason for doing so was to deter youths from creating mayhem, beating people up and generally being naughty little buggers. When I got home I obviously googled it and low and behold, as plain as day, the BBC has an article about it from 1995.

It say's:

Psychologists who have researched the link between music and behaviour say unfamiliarity is key to its success.

So that got me thinking, where would be the best places to have classical music playing (here's the first three):

  • Public Toilets - Ever had a dump whilst listening to Beethoven? Try it.
  • Space - Ignore the fact that you would never be able to hear it without imploding, it just feels right.
  • Catching Infidelity - Imagine the moment, you walk in, the postman's bottom going a million miles an hour, everything stops... The classical music starts.
I'm off to watch Chelsea beat Bordeaux. Cheeky bet on Chelsea to win 3-0.
