I have heard Stay'in Alive has the proper beat for doing chest compressions.
As does Another One Bites the Dust.
Right. Also medically related, surgeons train to wash and disinfect their hands to so many verses of "Stay'in Alive", though I forget how many. Certainly the sentiment seems appropriate for their patients.

Just heard a new song of the same beat. Must be that the disco beat is good for the heart. :smile:
Good to remember the disco beat for CPR, if ever needed, thanks.

I would guess that these relationships are stronger going the other way.
Music follows (imitates) body rhythms: heart beat, walking, etc. as well as movements involved in making the music of course.

Everyone was getting into the disco thing ... (fun fact: Pink Floyd's biggest single ever was 'Another Brick In The Wall' which featured a very disco rhythm guitar riff)

The greatest rock n roll band produced a classic disco song ...

The Rolling Stones 'Miss You'
