Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Stayin’ Alive

Well what do you know? I guess disco was good for something after all, or at least one iconic song of the time has its benefits.

U.S. doctors have found the Bee Gees 1977 disco anthem “Stayin’ Alive” provides an ideal beat to follow while performing chest compressions as part of CPR on a heart attack victim.

The American Heart Association calls for chest compressions to be given at a rate of 100 per minute in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). “Stayin’ Alive” almost perfectly matches that, with 103 beats per minute.

I wonder what happens when they use Funkytown…
