It is said that ordinarily, "music hath charms to soothe a savage beast". However, it doesn't work on ferocious creatures such as dragons.[1]

Behind the scenes[]

Music has charms to soothe a savage breast.” That famous line was uttered by a character in William Congreve's 1697 play The Mourning Bride. From the dance of the ancient Greeks, to the propulsive bass on the disco floor, to Dancing with the Stars, music goes hand in hand with the body.
