Stayin' Alive — The Bee Gees

   Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk
   I'm a woman's man, no time to talk
   Music loud and women warm
   I've been kicked around since I was born
   And now it's all right, it's okay
   You may look the other way
   We can try to understand
The New York times' effect on man

   Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother
   You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
   Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin'
   And you're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
   Ah, ah, ah, ah, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
   Ah, ah, ah, ah, stayin' alive
Oh, when you walk

Well, now I get low and I get high
And if I can't get either, I really try
Got the wings of heaven on my shoes
I'm a dancin' man and I just can't lose
You know, it's all right, it's okay
I'll live to see another day
We can try to understand
The New York times' effect on man

Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother
You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin'
And you're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ah, ah, ah, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ah, ah, ah, stayin' alive
Oh

Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me
Somebody help me, yeah
Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me, yeah
I'm stayin' alive

Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk
I'm a woman's man, no time to talk
Music loud and women warm
I've been kicked around since I was born
And now it's all right, it's okay
You may look the other way
We can try to understand
The New York times' effect on man

   Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me
   Somebody help me, yeah
   Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me, yeah
I'm stayin' alive

Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me
Somebody help me, yeah
Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me, yeah
I'm stayin' alive

Stayin' Alive

The Bee Gees are three brothers: Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb; three outstanding songwriters, singers, producers and musicians.
In the music business for over 40 years and with world-wide record sales exceeding 180 million,
they are in the top five of the most successful recording artists of all time.

The Bee Gee's 1977 hit song "Stayin' Alive" has just about the perfect tempo for performing chest compressions during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR),
according to the American Heart Association.
The song has 103 beats per minute, and doctors recommend compressing the chest 100 times per minute in order to perform CPR,
a resuscitation technique that can increase a patient's chances for survival by up to 300 percent — but only if the chest compressions are done at the proper rate.

Reuters asked Dr. David Matlock of the University of Illinois College of Medicine at Peoria to explain why he settled on that song, since many others have a similar tempo.
Unsurprisingly, he said that the name of the song was a factor, as was the fact that so many people already have it pretty much memorized.
"The theme 'Stayin' Alive' is very appropriate for the situation," said Matlock. "Everybody's heard it at some point in their life. People know the song and can keep it in their head."

His small study involved playing "Stayin' Alive" while CPR students practiced CPR on dummies.
Five weeks later, participants were still able to perform chest compressions at the proper rate by playing the music in their heads.
