Stayin Alive
Continuing to exist
"Stayin' Alive" is a 1977 disco song by the Bee Gees, famous for its driving beat and falsetto vocals.
The phrase has become shorthand for perseverance or survival against the odds: Just stayin' alive out here.
The song's tempo (approximately 100 beats per minute) is recommended for performing CPR chest compressions, giving the title an ironic second life in emergency training.
