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:

Lizzy McAlpine and Scary Pockets

@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 @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.

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) 😅

Been avoiding the plague since I was born
And now it's all right, it's ok
You may look the other way
We can try to understand

Can we discuss the adorableness of the horsies faces?

Show threadAnnaMar 7
@Sfwmson we absolutely can! I love how the one at the front looks all enthusiastic and gung ho and "hey there dog, let's go on an adventure!" and the one at the back looks like they would probably rather have stayed in bed this morning
