I firmly believe Stayin' Alive is one of the greatest songs ever written, not least because of the vast range of musical styles in which it can be covered and it not only still works, but still absolutely bangs. Here are my three favourites:

@mothninja The Scary Pockets one is superb.

@KaraLG84 there's a comment under the video, "I come back here every week just to see the clapping man clap. How can the clapping man clap so quickly and consistently? Clap on clapping man, clap into eternity." and, yep :)

@mothninja First I've heard of him.

@mothninja @KaraLG84

I had to watch the video to see the clapping man clap.

It is indeed impressive clapping.

Decent rendition too, going into my favourites :)

@mothninja also fun about this song, the rhythm is the perfect beat to perform CPR because it’s a beat per second or something like that. I always thought that it was an incredible serendipitous coincidence that the song you need to think about when trying to get a person to stay alive is Staying Alive.

@tatonka yes! Also same with Queen's Another One Bites The Dust 💀

@mothninja probably don’t sing that one out loud when doing CPR though… might mess up the poor sod’s mindset.

@mothninja
The Darzis cover illustrates well the complexity of the bass line of that song

I'm plowing through their whole playlist now (instead of sleeping) 😅
