For your safe listening pleasure

Remember back in the 90s when Second Lady Tipper Gore campaigned to have CDs labeled with warnings about explicit lyrics? The fear was that music would make people do what they wouldn't otherwise do. Frank Zappa testified against such, saying, "I wrote a song about dental floss but did anyone's teeth get cleaner?"

Well, here we go again with the need for warnings. This time, though, it's for music that might put you to sleep. A UK group, Marconi Union, has produced what's been described as most relaxing song ever'.

Studies found Weightless was 11 per cent more relaxing than any other song and even made many of the women 'drowsy' in the lab.

We've been cautioned not to listen the tune while driving or walking or anyplace where gravity or machinery could harm us.

No word on what had been the previously most relaxing song.

If you're in a safe place, you can listen to the music here.

If you're really in a mood to live dangerously, you could also try to listen to the Funniest Joke in The World.
