If you’ve ever seen the iconic opening to the movie, “Saturday Night Fever,” then you know this is the song that John Travolta strutted to through the streets of New York City.

That driving rhythm should be familiar; it’s the sound of your heart. “Stayin’ Alive” was used in a study to train medical professionals to provide the correct number of chest compressions per minute while performing CPR. The song has close to 104 beats per minute, in the sweet spot of the 100-120 chest compressions per minute recommended by several medical organizations.

This is one of the reasons it seems to natural a rhythm to move to – and made it one of the top 100 best rock, pop, and dance singles to date in numerous music magazines/organizations.

So pop it on and strut – I dare you to try not to move!
