How does raucous music help us learn?

Today we did an experiment in class.
To investigate how music affects our ability to learn, we tried performing standard classroom learning tasks whilst listening to drum n bass [by Concord Dawn]. Secondly, we added a movement factor for kinaesthetic learners. Trying to "drum" in time on our desks was the next phase.
Describe here how it affected [or is that effected?] you as a learner.
Can you suggest other learning activities to try with music to add more result data to our investigation?
Thirdly, as a learning experience, was this useful or memorable? Please be specific as to why/why not.
