NASHVILLE, TN – Heads up, Tennessee! If you’re planning to cruise through the streets of Music City this holiday season, it might be wise to reconsider that festive playlist before hitting the road. While Christmas songs are known to bring joy, a new study reveals that some popular holiday tunes could actually be putting drivers at risk. In fact, one snowy favorite has been named the most dangerous Christmas song to drive to, potentially causing accidents if you’re not careful.
The Science Behind Dangerous Driving Music
A recent study from South China University of Technology (SCUT) revealed that music with a high beats per minute (BPM) could affect your driving habits, making it more difficult to stay focused.
According to experts, songs with a BPM over 120 tend to encourage reckless or distracted driving, increasing the likelihood of accidents. These fast-paced tracks can trigger psychological and cardiovascular effects that make drivers more prone to speeding, swerving, or other dangerous behaviors on the road.
Frosty the Snowman: The Most Dangerous Christmas Song
If you love jamming out to “Frosty the Snowman” while driving, you may want to give this holiday classic the cold shoulder. With a BPM of 172, this song tops the list of the most dangerous Christmas tracks to drive to, according to a report from Insuranceopedia. The 1950s hit, originally recorded by Gene Autry and later by Jimmy Durante, has been named the biggest culprit in promoting unsafe driving.
“As the holiday season approaches, it’s important to recognize how music influences our driving habits,” said Max Coupland, CEO of the insurance guidance website Insuranceopedia. “While festive tunes bring joy, some high-energy or distracting songs can impact our focus on the road.”
Other Holiday Tunes That Could Be Hazardous
Though “Frosty the Snowman” is the most dangerous, other familiar Christmas hits also made the list. Mariah Carey’s holiday anthem “All I Want for Christmas Is You” is another track to be cautious of, coming in second with a BPM of 150.
Other tunes that could make your driving more dangerous include:
- “Feliz Navidad” by Jose Feliciano
- “Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town” (first released in 1934)
- “Happy Xmas (War Is Over)” by John Lennon and Yoko Ono
These songs, while beloved by many, could contribute to an increased risk of accidents when played while driving.
