The Bee Gees: they're not just for cheesy '70s dance parties anymore! US medics report that when students studying how to do CPR listened to the Bee Gees '70s hit "Stayin' Alive" while practicing chess compressions, following the beat of the song helped them space the compressions properly. When performed properly with the recommended rate of 100 chest compressions per minute, CPR triples cardiac arrest survival rates. Speaking of the disco classic's effect on students, one doctor said, "It drove them and motivated them to keep up the rate. . ." I wonder if wearing polyester pantsuits while practicing compression under a disco ball would further improve their technique? Click here to read more.

3Let's be straight with the fact that "Saturday Night Fever" is the greatest soundtrack in history!!! God, I only have it on vinyl...I need to buy it on another format!
Nobody can knock disco anymore: it save lives!
4oh god, for some reason i lvoe this song and the hair and pantsuits. lol. The video played quite a bit on MTV and VH1 in Europe
5over the summer (was one of the all time greatest hits!) and i always wondered why they were just strolling along through abandoned areas. . .
I was taught in CPR class use "Stayin' Alive" or "Another One Bites The Dust". Althought I was advised not to sing them out loud while performing CPR.
Can you imagine having flashbacks of your near death experiences with disco in the background? Heh.
