Subject: Bee Gee's "Stayin Alive" has perfect beat for timing CPR routines

Written By: ChuckyG on 10/17/08 at 1:18 pm

The American Heart Association recommends 100 chest compressions per minute, far more than most people realize, study author Dr. David Matlock of the school's Peoria, Illinois, campus said Thursday. 

The Bee Gee's song is 103 BPM, which is close enough.  According to the article, Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust" has a similar beat count.

If anyone has to do CPR on me I hope they choose to use Stayin Alive over Another One Bites the Dust.  ;D

;D  ^  hey I heard an urban legend that the human heart will beat in time to pop/rock music and in rare occasions, if the music is stopped abruptly, the heart will stop as well  :o    I dare you to try it!  ::)

Ironically, these two songs are too fast and could not be used to measure how fast to pump on the chest

Music Saved My Life by Lil' Louis (Version:Kenlou 12"") 124 BPM Epic Records 1992

How To Save A Life by The Fray                                            143 BPM                 2006

Help! by The Beatles is close but not quite fast enough at 95 BPM 1965

I wonder if when you are doing CPR with a partner, whether you can use this song?:
The Beatles With A Little Help From My Friends 113 BPM 1967

Mud in the 70's had a cover of Heartbeart but that version was a lot slower than the original.
