This is an amazing music video. It was very well put together and has a great song to go with it: Life is Beautiful by Sixx AM

A friend and I have found the secret behind the success of Mexican restaurants. You know how there are always people at Mexican restaurants? And how they never seem to go out of business, but instead are constantly multiplying? It’s because of the music.

Yes, the Mariachi and Tejano music that is played in Mexican restaurants across the nation is the secret to their great success. We have studied this in depth and have come upon this explanation.

When you are listening to Mariachi and Tejano music you are happy. You will be in a general state of calm and happiness until you stop listening to the music. At that point you will begin to become upset. You will not know why you are upset and try and do all you can to stop it. The only way of course is to listen to more Mariachi or Tejano music.

While you are in the general state of calm and happiness in side the restaurant you are pretty much willing to do anything. Since there is so much food around, you will naturally eat it. The food combines with the music and causes you to feel even happier. You will want to continue eating the food because if you don’t you will start to become unhappy. Thus you will continue eating and eating until you are absolutely stuffed, or the restaurant closes.

After eating in so many Mexican restaurants you begin to come conditioned to the music. If you happen to hear it passing by somewhere or on the radio, your body will start to remember what happens when you hear the music: happiness and food. You will instantly become hungry and need to eat somewhere. It does not matter what kind of food you eat with the music, they work together to make you happy.

Any restaurant can take advantage of this. We have listened to this music while eating food from other restaurants and experienced the same effects. If every restaurant were to play this music they would become more profitable and attract many more customers. Customers would stay to eat longer and they would sell much more food than they do now.

This is a secret that I am now giving away freely. You can increase your restaurant’s profits by simply playing Mariachi or Tejano music in your building. When you become successful, please remember the countless hours of research we put into this and consider sending us some food or gift certificates to your restaurant. (And I am totally serious about this whole post.)

I just got a whole bunch of mariachi and tejano music. I am so happy (and hungry right now). I love this music! They really feel for what they sing about. I can tell even when I can’t understand most of the songs.

Some people think it’s weird that I can sing along to my favorite songs. I guess so, but you sing along to your favorite English songs, and all you are doing is memorizing the words. That’s the same thing I am doing. I still need to go through and find out who my favorite artists and songs actually are.

I’ve been trying to listen to a lot more music than I recently have. One reason is because it gives me something to do when I’m really bored. The other is that I had to make a lot of commercials for school and needed music tracks to play in them.

My favorite music sites are still Last.fm and Amie Street. Last.fm keep track of what music you play, love, and hate. It gives you nice charts of your listening habits, and you can listen to the last.fm radio to find new artists.

Amie Street is the best place to buy music. Anybody can upload their music. Prices start off free and increase based upon demand until a song reaches $0.98. There is a lot of awesome music on there from famous and up and coming bands. Much of it is cheap, but never goes above the price of an iTunes song. It is a great alternative to whatever you used to buy music before.

Here’s a little Last.fm widget that shows the last few songs I’ve played:
