Extraordinary!

Mortal Coil Shuffling, Chest Wigs, Medallions and images of John Travolta in a white suit!!!

It's enough to give you the Hee Bee Gee(s) Bees.

Wow - it really works - I just did this in my head too, and got 102 bpm! Now if I ever have to do CPR, I'll know just to sing out "Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive!" while I'm doing it!

... or you'll soon have enough stiffs for several full casts of 'Thriller'...

One I've always been taught to use when doing first aid is 'Another One Bites The Dust', or for the younger amongst you Nelly the Elephant works as well.

...write articles for the daily mash?

Bat out of Hell revives man in coma.

Could Bohemian Rhapsody claim the same?

"...leapt out of bed and dashed across the room to the tape recorder..." was this followed by ripping the power lead out, beating the player repeatedly against the wall and jumping up and down on the pieces? If so I'd consider that a perfectly reasonable response to Meatloaf!

We use the chorus from "Nelly the Elephant" by the Toy Dolls. However, you have to be careful to ignore either the one beat pause in the middle or the last beat otherwise you give them 31 compressions rather than the recommended 30.

That was recommended to us by St John Ambulance and has been confirmed by doctors and Heart Start.

Didn't work so well for the Bee Gees, how many left now?

Lets face it... ANY Meatloaf could be said to cause the effect you've described.

In the same way, perhaps any record by The Smiths could have the opposite effect, thus freeing up the life support machine for the next poor unfortunate.

Wonder if I could get some research funding to confirm this by experiment?

The incessant drum beat on Staying Alive is in fact two bars lifted-and-looped from the already recorded Night Fever, brought about by the absence of session drummer Dennis Byron and the unsatisfactory experimentation with drum machines!

I've just been writing a 'Staying Alive' remix for the Vintage Synth (VSE) forums.

wikipedia says for the "another one bites the dust" from queen the same thing. But the queen song is a bit more funny in this situation.

Probably don't want to play something by the Melvins, or you may damage the patient as well as having a heart attack of your own...

Oh, I get it (now).

Oh wait, can you go over that one more time.

How long till the CPR givers take their own life to end the incessant "Ah ah ah ah Stayin' Alive"?

/mines the one decked out on rhinestones

No, Just let me go, please..... Stop that Fracking music! I want to die in peace.

Never heard of it, I guess Meatloaf was never popular in Brazil... Time to lift anchors, methinks. Ahoy!

As in, don't let your...

and yes, cassettes are still available....maybe no 8-track tapes, but cassettes, yes.

and no dat tapes...music industry saw to it that that option was killed aborning.

"You guys can be so, like, literal. "

What I like best about them is their insistence on pointing out the meaning of the allusion of the icons they choose to use to highlight the drift of the <ermmm> whatever it is <s> I am </s> they are (I mean) talking about </ermmm> despite the mouse-overs available to otherwise competent computer users.

But you may not have already noticed that which is why I wished to point out to you that the use of pictures of Paris Hilton for example in this example exemplified the need for a reappraisal of the need to repeat the need because she is somewhat repetitive.

Paris because we don't have an ERM icon

To coin a phrase.

I found this out at my SJA refresher. Before we were tought to use nellie the elephant or pop goes the wea. Not pop goes the weasel but

Half a pound of tuppenny rice,

Half a pound of treacle.

That’s the way the money goes,

Pop! goes the wea.

To get the right number of compressions, really helped!
