Elephants Rock!
Ever wonder what music you should put on if elephants are coming over for dinner? Unless you want them stampeding through your living room, it better be hard rock.
Staff at the West Midlands Safari Park in Bewdley, Worcestershire, UK, say that a trio of teenage elephants at the park are immediately calmed down when they hear the likes of Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Metallica and Def Leppard.
The Metro has even gone so far as to come up with a list of songs the elephants might enjoy:
Tusk – Fleetwood Mac
Ebony And Ivory – Paul McCartney and Steve Wonder
Welcome To The Jungle – Guns N’ Roses
Shades of Grey – The Monkees
Born To Be Wild – Steppenwolf
Zooropa – U2
Wild Thing – The Troggs
The Memory Remains – Metallica
The Number Of The Beast – Iron Maiden
One hard rock song I can think of that shouln’t be played when there are elephants around - “Elephant Gun” from David Lee Roth’s Eat ‘Em and Smile.
