What’s This Playlist All About? NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital wants to keep you alive with a banging list of songs to save lives too. Per their description, all songs are 100 BPM, “the right beat to perform CPR.” And, no, The Fray is thankfully nowhere to be found.What You Get: If you’ve had the pleasure of mumbling through “Stayin’ Alive” while pushing down on a dummy in CPR class, you’ll be happy to know that those Red Cross trainings could get a little more exciting. Like the Bee Gees’ go-to anthem, you’ve got some seriously apropos selections here, like Gloria Gaynor’s triumphant “I Will Survive,” Marvin Gaye’s silky “What’s Going On,” Beastie Boys’ fidgety “Body Movin’” and The All-American Rejects’ bratty “Gives You Hell”—a good choice for those more stubborn hearts.Biggest Surprise: Norman Greenbaum’s spiritually uplifting rocker for afterlife bliss, “Spirit in the Sky.”Will This Playlist Save Your Life? There’s no telling how effective it may be if an unfortunate emergency arises, but at least it stands as a pretty kickass playlist on its own.
