Who would of thought that the song would also go on to help doctors perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation too!
Alex from Manchester, United KingdomThe Bee Gees deliberately set the tempo at 103 BPM because it's the average standard tempo of walking pace. Jennifer Harris from Grand Blanc, MiMy favorite Bee Gees Song! I loved the Airplane! Scene in the bar where the 2 girl scouts are fighting while Julie and Robert are dancing to Stayin Alive. If someone is alive and talking, as they may be during a heart attack, then CPR is not performed on that person. A better example is to use a patient who is actually in cardiac arrest. If he/she does not seek medical treatment during the heart attack, however, then death may occur. To clarify, a patient suffering a heart attack is alive, and can be alert and talking. 
it is mentioned that the University of Illinois has researched that this song is an almost perfect match for chest compressions for a heart attack victim.
Kayla from Bloomington, InJust an FYI. Sam from Muscat, OmanLong live Barry Gibb!. Travolta complained, probably rightly so, that the character as he portrayed NEVER would have "bounced". A "double" walked down the street in his stead and at one point (which Travolta later pointed out) stopped to look in the window of a shoe store and "bounced". However it was not actually JT because it was feared that he would attract attention from people on the street that would disrupt filming. Ken from Pittsburgh, PaAt the beginning of "Saturday Night Fever" John Travolta's character walks down the street to the rhythm of this song. Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn December 4th 1977, "Stayin' Alive" by the Bee Gees entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at position #65 and eight weeks later on January 29th, 1978 it peaked at #1. no matter what they were actually thinking. It can even be used during CPR to bring people back.Ī work of GENIUS. The fantastic beat and lyrics we, or at least I can understand when just listening to this FANTASTIC SONG, lends perfectly to PREVENTING ACCIDENTS, reducing injuries, and saving lives! I will also be using this super song as the theme song for the: 3, 7, 15 second RULE for Staying Alive on the Highway. I have taught and use CPR, and was HAPPY to learn it can be used for establishing the RHYTHM for CPR. The SOUND is a work of GENIUS! It is a TRUE CLASSIC. When I can't understand the not-so-happy parts of this song, and just hear/understand "Stayin' Alive" and the FANTASTIC UPLIFTING BEAT it is very INSPIRATIONAL! which is a sign of creative genius beyond explanation. So they have/had no idea themselves! The idea just came to them. Sometimes, or even VERY OFTEN, writers have no idea why they wrote something other than that it rhymed, sounded good or cool, the idea just came to them, or too often in the past. 
Most often we have no way of knowing what "they" were actually thinking. What is important is HOW WE INTERPRET THE SONG and lyrics.
This only goes to prove that we should not overly ANALYZE what songwriters were thinking, "really saying", etc., etc., when they wrote the song. What I HEAR & actually UNDERSTAND is "STAYIN' ALIVE" along with a FANTASTIC uplifting beat and impressive vocal gymnastics. The GOOD NEWS is that when I LISTEN TO THEM SING, I can't understand half of what they say/sing.
The song is, or can be quite depressing when you read and actually understand what they sing!? Alarmingly, they also sound like a CRY FOR HELP!? They sing "Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me.". If I READ & UNDERSTAND the lyrics, they are actually quite boring and repetitive. Then recently (2018) I actually read the lyrics. It was one of my favourite songs back in 1977.
