Disco Saves Lives – Like, Duh!

In this case, it truly can. Apparently Debra Bader was walking with her hubby, he keeled over, and she gave him CPR to the beat of the Bee Gees’ Stayin’ Alive. She had heard a PSA on the radio about how to do it, so she sprung into disco-action and kept him from visiting the big disco ball in the sky. See the excerpt from the article down below.

The one-minute PSA from the American Heart Association instructed listeners, in the event of cardiac arrest, to perform chest compressions very hard to the beat of the 1970s Bee Gees song “Staying Alive.”

“I sang the song and gave directions to the EMTs at the same time. It was like, ‘Stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive — take a right here, take a left here — Stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive — take this path down here — Stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive,’ ” Bader remembers.
