AHH, THE BRAIN!

This video is a great example of how images and music affect the limbic brain: the cute and fuzzy little animal combined with the upbeat music make it so that any viewer feels happier and more cheery upon viewing. The images are just great in this video-- the entire clip is of a hamster lying on a piano, munching on a piece of popcorn! And I have yet to meet a person who doesn't react to this video with an "AWWW!" or at least a smile! The music has a good beat with lyrics sung in high voices, which cause the viewer to perk up and feel more vibrant. Whenever I'm feeling grumpy, I search "Hamster On A Piano" in Youtube and I am put in a much more cheery mood because the clip certainly has that energizing, uplifting effect on my "emotional" brain. I hope it has the same effect on anyone who watches it here!
