I don’t know why I find this so amusing, but I do. It’s funny to me to see the cows all gathering around to listen. https://www.youtube.com/embed/lXKDu6cdXLI?feature=oembed ---

I am in no way morally opposed to it’s production…in fact, quite the opposite. I wish their was MORE of it produced and consumed so it would drive it’s evil price down so I can afford to eat it more often! ---

Also, this thread and the jazz music need more cowbell. ---

It’s funny to watch the cows gather near the band, but I’m not sure it’s the music. My experience has been that cows are often curious whenever a person shows up at the edge of their field. On one occasion while touring the countryside I stopped my motorcycle to take some pics of the scenery. There was a cow pasture on the other side of the road, and the half-dozen cows scattered across it were literally _running_ to come and check me out. ---

Does anybody else remember this ad from the early '90s? [HP makes beef sing.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2A6YPowfwk) Clearly, playing for cows has an effect.
