People Are Cracking Up Over These Cows Vibing to Their Favorite Songs
Cows, like people, love to jam out when their favorite song comes on the loudspeaker!
In a TikTok video, a person passed by a herd of cows and decided to introduce them to Michael Jackson. In the video, the person recorded the cows while he blasted Michael Jackson's "Don't Stop 'til You Get Enough" from their car and captured the adorable moment.

The cows all stared intently at the person as the music played, but at one point they seemed completely transfixed by the song, even bobbing their heads slightly.
In the text overlay, the person wrote, "Even the cows like Michael Jackson," and joked in the caption that they were participating in a collective "Moo-walk."
The internet fell in love with the cows and their first time hearing the song, with one person writing, "It's because Michael loves animals and animals love Michael and that's why they love him as well."
"The cows got good taste," another user wrote.
"Michael Jackson has an unexplainable energy about him and even through his music," one person said, while another added, "who doesn't like MJ." Another user also wrote, "Everyone and everything loves Michael Jackson."

Animals and how they react to music
Just like people, animals have a distinct reaction to music when they hear it for the first time. The phenomenon has been studied for years, providing a deeper understanding of animal behavior.
In a post shared by the American Academy of Audiology, there's even "an entire science dedicated to animal musicality."
"Multiple studies over the past few decades have confirmed that animal behavior is affected by music," they explain. "One study revealed that many animals have preferences for different types of music and that different behaviors in response to music depend upon the species."
Some studies show that chimpanzees will respond well to classical music, even swinging their tails to the rhythm. Cats in particular respond better to "music" that is at "frequencies that mimic purring." Meanwhile, dogs will calm down and be soothed by classical music when it's played for them.
While we know a lot about how animals respond to music, more research is needed to determine whether they have an emotional response to music in the same way people do when they hear a song they like.
