Last Song Syndrome That Could Save Lives

"Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk/ Im a woman's man: no time to (INHALE)/ Music loud and women warm, Ive been kicked around/ Since I was (INHALE)." 


The Associated Press through CNN reports a study from the University of Illinois "that doctors and students maintained close to the ideal number of chest compressions doing CPR while listening to the catchy, sung-in-falsetto tune from the 1977 movie 'Saturday Night Fever.'", none other than The Bee Gees' Stayin' Alive. The contrivance is mind-boggling. Life-saving CPR = staying alive. Get it? Beejeez. 

Still, this is one news story that will stick to me for the rest of my life, and it should yours too. The next time I administer CPR (which would also be the first time), ah (pump) ha (pump) ha (pump) ha (pump) stayinalive (pump) stayinalive (pump).
