Want to Help Someone 'Stay Alive'? The BEE GEES Can Help.

I found this story on CNN: a doctor found that the tune "Stayin Alive" can help do cpr. It helps to keep the right number of compressions to get a stopped heart going. Here is the link for the story:

Everyone should know this. It might help save a life someday. If you can hear the song in your head while performing cpr, it will help you do the compressions the correct number of times and keep a good rhythm.

Thank you, Selene, and you are more than welcome.

Thank you very much, Ann. Not dead by a long shot. I have them on my pc and that song does go through my head often. I agree with you:"Yay!!!"
and thanks to the doctor who figured it out.

The Bee Gees have always been my all time favorite group. Staying Alive was a really good song/album, but I really liked their earlier, before disco, music better. The Album Barry Gibb did with Barbara Streisand was really nice, too.

Thanks for the memories. :-)

Thank you, LeeAnn, and your more than welcome. there are a couple I really like, but for some reason, they don't go on and on in my mind like this one does....Maybe that has something to do with the heart rhythm of this one

According to one of the doctors, a 'Queen' song also has nearly the same tempo, but with the name "Another One Bites the Dust", it isn't appropriate.
