The Christmas Song That Could Lead to Car Accidents

A study from the South China University of Technology warns against listening to high BPM Christmas songs while driving, as they may encourage dangerous driving habits. "Frosty The Snowman," with a BPM of 172, tops the list of risky tunes, followed by Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You" at 150 BPM. Other songs like "Feliz Navidad" and "Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town" are also considered hazardous. The study suggests these songs can affect drivers psychologically and increase accident risks.
