(Some of my coworkers and I are taking a CPR class to get certified for work. We’re at the part where we’re learning to do chest compressions.)

Instructor: “Now, it’s important that you keep a good, steady beat with the compressions. A way you can remember how fast to go is if you follow the beat of the song Stayin’ Alive by the Bee Gees.”

(We all laugh.)

Me: “Well, that’s appropriate, because that’s what you’re trying to do: keep them alive.”

Instructor: “Yeah! Although, someone once told me that it also worked with Another One Bites the Dust. That’s not appropriate!”
