Can you listen to music without moving any part of your body?

Question

I know I can't, but maybe I'm just a freak.

Answer 1

that would make me a freak too =)

Answer 2

Nope, unless you are talking about voluntary motion.

On the other side of the eardrum (which moves) is a set of tiny bones (ossicles) that relay the sound into the cochlea where it triggers nerves.

In order to hear, you must have parts of your body that cant move when sound happens.

Answer 3

Listen to Lou Reed's "Metal Machine Music", though admittedly your finger might start moving in the direction of the 'off' button.

Answer 4

I have to at least tap my foot like a shy white girl when I hear Celine's "Tous Les Secrets De Ton Coeur", Britney's "Bombastic Love", SheDaisy's "Get Over Yourself", Sarina Paris's "Single Life", etc... Music makes me so happy!

Answer 5

dont worry i must be a freak 2 then i havet 2 just move when any music comes on!!!

Answer 6

yes I can. I just listen to something awful that I don't like. I don't twitch, sing along, or anything. I may get up and turn it off, but that's not the same.

Answer 7

No,i can't do that.There is nothing wrong with you,or I.It is a natural reaction and I love to move to the music.

Answer 8

I used to work as a dancer for 4 years, trust me, I cannot watch a single movie without starting to dance to a soundtracks..........I call it my fun professional sickness :-)

Answer 9

Hmm, it would have to be slow music - and even then some of that gets me moving.

It's impossible not to dance to James Brown.

Answer 10

presumaably the beating of the heart constitutes a movement of the body, so unless you're including corpses, no you cant.
