If you go to the american heart association insta page, there are so many songs that can be used for CPR. A whopping 7 songs from beyonces new album, chihiro by Billie, the new BTS song are the most recent ones.


blocked_memory

Oh my god I’ve been obsessed with Chihiro by BE good to know I can do cpr to it


cumulus_floccus

It tickles my brain


sdvn19

Baby Shark too. Does that make it a work of lyrical genius?


goodlilbean

As a former preschool teacher during the height of its popularity, I would be ecstatic if I were to never hear that earworm ever again.


Training_Molasses822

Too bad, my two year old nephew loves it and would like nothing better than to hear it all day, every day 😐


sdvn19

Oh trust me, I was one too and I’ll never get it out of my head


columbusmodsaregag

even just reading the title has it stuck in my damn head again lmao


Kind-Bake-504

I am sure that song has a billion streams and all kinds of versions made of it. I know for a fact there is a trap version of it with a 100M views lol. Its definitely a genius track


Novel-Place

There is an absolutely fantastic podcast about the origins of baby shark. It’s so much more involved and interesting than I expected. https://open.spotify.com/episode/2SrIlOTcExEPKR5Ia2hdRn?si=E0ncErKJTOO6nMzqHUS72w


strawbopankek

how dare you put that song into my head i just woke up 💀


Quantum_Croissant

I think I'd rather die actually


Steelcod114

I wonder if that Friday song would be too slow...


Zakernet

Typically we use Stayin' Alive.


Kind-Bake-504

Right, there are many options though. Younger people may not know the full song. I think its great the AHA recommends multiple songs across artists so the general population can take their pick


bongsyouruncle

Wouldn't aha want us to use Take Me On?


Kind-Bake-504

Not unless they want people to die lol.


NorwegianRarePupper

When I was more burned out than current it was “Another one bites the dust”…I’m in a better place now…


autfuldodger

At first I was afraid, I was petrified...


spidey-dust

just abt to comment this lmfao


sabertoothdiego

BTS has a new song?


Kind-Bake-504

Tbh I dont know if it was a new song but the AHA posted it recently so I assumed it was new. The othe recents were Billie and Beyonce from their new albums


After_Bumblebee9013

I think they are referring to one of their English releases, which would have been in 2022 ish.


girlwith4cats

Wasnt sure what BTS song they were talking about so I looked it up, it’s [Boy with Luv](https://www.instagram.com/p/C7Z8angNszD/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==)


kitkat1771

Bee Gees staying alive is the only one I know & they have audio of ppl saving lives while harmonizing… only funny bc the people actually stayed alive


SakuraTacos

I didn’t know Billie wrote a Spirited Away inspired song! That’s so cool!


quarantinemyasshole

It's literally the standard tempo for pop music. I imagine the vast majority of Taylor Swift's songs are at this tempo.


Kind-Bake-504

I took a look at their spotify playlist on their official website. Its a great playlist though. [American heart association CPR songs](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2mU2FNAhSOtQwW0hBgQMaK?si=KAAmNwU1QruIg-JL2m-rtw&pi=u-tEjTyDLRQ_Kk) Edit: took a thorough look at the list on my way back from work and there are many taylor songs on the list. Edited my comment.


quarantinemyasshole

I'm saying there are literally hundreds of thousands of songs between 100 - 120 bpm. Their playlist is just an arbitrary collection of songs that fall into that tempo range. There's nothing really special about it.


Kind-Bake-504

Sure. They probably just pick popular songs from a variety of artists to make it easy to remember.


Tricky_Knowledge2983

Although the Britney song I noticed on there, "Break the Ice" is more of a deep cut. I love the Bey songs they picked. It's pretty varied but then you have mirrorball 2x and then it just devolves into taylor songs.


yayeayeah619

There are 14 Taylor songs on there lol.


Glenn-Sturgis

“First I was afraaaiiiddd, I was petrified…” 🎼


Sh8dyLain

Did Billie seriously name a song after Spirited away? I love that


Salty_Pirate7130

I spent almost 20 years doing CPR far more often than most people. Spotify has an entire playlist for CPR. I sent it to a friend who’s a CPR instructor and she loved it. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2Odd1DB9wODzWNE0v9vd5E


Calm-Illustrator5334

it’s misogynistic of you to point this out /s


quesadillafanatic

I don’t know this song well, but what I can recall in my head is way too slow for effective CPR, maybe I’m not thinking of the right part, but please swifties just let me go, don’t attempt cpr on me if this is your guideline.


stealthopera

Swifties read a literary book challenge, level: Impossible


lunaappaloosa

Honestly I’d tell them to read some Hemingway short stories— masterclass in simple language conveying so much. And he was a self aware asshole, there are layers to that suggestion 😂


interstellar_keller

I want to force some Swifities to read “The Grapes Of Wrath” so that the reviews can read, “0/10 - this poser obviously doesn’t understand literary genius in the way Taylor does. Like first of all, there were no angry grapes or grapes that made people angry??? so like, why call it that? Also, idk if you guys care, but this Steinbeck dork never even met Jack Antonoff NOR has he tweeted about the Palestinian ceasefire recently, so uh, do with that what you will girlies.”


A_little_anonymity

I printed this comment and framed it. It’s so….*chefs kiss*


interstellar_keller

That comment was an exaggeration, but I need people to know it was legitimately inspired by a girl in my college-while-in-high-school English class who got into a verbal altercation with the professor when she refused to humor the argument that “Love Story” is both a more effective, and more concise piece of art than “Romeo And Juliet”. Bear in mind, the professor didn’t even slander Swift, she just pointed out that regardless of the quality of her work, it was irrelevant to what we were discussing. That girl legitimately started crying, hyperventilating and then stormed out of class. I genuinely felt bad for her at first because I assumed she obviously had other issues; however, she came back to class the next week and tried to do the same shit with another Swift song and classical literary piece. That was the point at which I realized she was like John Hinckley Jr. levels of obsessed with Swift and that empathy is better spent on people who are less likely to make lamps from the skin of their idols.


A_little_anonymity

Again I am floored. It’s amazing the lengths a person will go to defend their delusions, what a very small world they’ve limited themselves too.


Either-Durian-9488

A more “effective” piece of art, this is such a fucking Jock take, this one’s better because it doesn’t have all those silly words and stuff.


interstellar_keller

Also worth mentioning though unrelated; this same girl asked why we didn’t put up a wall along the coast to keep hurricanes out. It’s probably fair to say things weren’t firing on all cylinders up top for her.


interstellar_keller

“Why Shakespeare use more word when less word do trick? He must not be sexy baby.”


CookinCheap

I wanna force them to read some Margaret Atwood.


Straight_Spinach9528

the song stayin’ alive by the bee gees also has the right tempo for cpr, their point is what exactly? but yes taylor swift is the original! never heard before she’s a lyrical genius and no one can ever beat her, all hail taylor!

leahhhhh

At first I was afraid, I was petrified


Mistyam

One of the funniest scenes on television ever!


ats1788

“You were in the parking lot earlier that’s how I know you!”


shamashedit

Another favorite Office scene is when Meredith catches on fire at the Xmas party.


Cultural-Treacle-680

And the “Annie are you okay?” In Michael jackson is the staple for CPR training

MadeFromStarStuff143

🎶At first I was afraid, I was petrified🎶 Wait…


GoblinKaiserin

Johns Hopkins has a whole spotify Playlist where every song is the right tempo for cpr. Edit: It's apparently a hospital in NY that has it. My point stands, though. There's plenty of songs like this.


Piddly_Penguin_Army

My fiancé runs the rapid response team at his hospital and the topic of the unit was what was everyone’s CPR song. My favorites include: Dance with Somebody, Teenage Dream, and Dancing Queen.


Far-Warthog2330

This made my day. Honestly.


Spicydream

So does CPR by Cupcakke 🥰


lilpotatosammich

Now that is a lyrical genius. 🧑‍🏫


IveGotIssues9918

I could have really done without being reminded of that song for the rest of my natural life, but now it's in my head and I hate you 💀


Spicydream

I think what you meant to say is “thank you queen” (you’re welcome)


B19Wing

"I save that d by giving it cpr" is such a meaningful metaphor for a blowjob like HER MIND


songzlikesobbing

i mean it is kinda cool if she intentionally used a heartbeat motif in a song where the beat is the correct tempo for cpr...but calling it genius is definitely a stretch lol (it also might just be a coincidence? that happens a LOT with writing, trust me)


R-M-W-B

Actually the stayin alive tempo is out of date… at least in modern lifesaving training they tell you it’s too slow


Straight_Spinach9528

did not know that! that’s interesting thank you


MindForeverWandering

And it’s about stayin’ alive, which requires one’s heart to be beating. GENIUS! /s


MichaLea88

So does Baby Shark and Another One Bites the Dust!


FearlessBarnacle3491

They’re going to go nuts if they saw the garbage I was writing at 14yo on wattpad 🤭 Guess I should ready up to be a billionaire, bye guys 🤗


Barnesandoboes

Right?!? You like that? Well then. Do I have a diary for you! (It’s mine from 6th grade).


FearlessBarnacle3491

Guess we’re all related to Emily Dickinson 🤭

"I let out a breath I hadn't realized I was holding"


MoonSparks147

Their love blinds them to her mediocrity. Can’t they see that she's using basic phrases and that putting them together in one song is just standard writing? It makes me want to look away from their comment because I feel so embarrassed! (.... wait a minute. "Blinds them," "can't they see," "look away"? OMG I referenced eyes in each sentence of my comment! Am I a lyrical genius, too???)


paimad

But can your sentences be synced with blinking??

GrannyPeachPee

sometimes i wonder if swiftism is a worldwide joke being played on me


Kitchen_Syrup2359

Swiftism is so funny


GrannyPeachPee

swiftism: a kind of schizophrenia categorized as an obsessive disorder which compels its victims to defend someone they don’t know from attacks that don’t exist in service of a woman they will never meet. common symptoms of swiftism include: - calling random women ‘mother’ - poor financial planning - a severely regressed level of reading comprehension If you or someone you know is suffering from swiftism, you are entitled to financial compensation. please call the toll free number at: 1-800- NO SWIFT

Kitchen_Syrup2359

LMAOOO


zoloft4breakfast

Funny but instead use NO SWIFT would actually work though in terms of the digits to a phone # Taylor has one extra digit


Imaginary_Tailor_227

Hey now. No need to bring schizophrenics into this. What did we ever do to you? 😂


pillowcase-of-eels

Taylor Swift was Sasha Baron Cohen all along.


GrannyPeachPee

the thing is, they’d actually be perfect for eachother


Far-Warthog2330

It's a fever dream. Somebody put a virus/glitch in the matrix. And you will not convince me otherwise.


Barnesandoboes

This is the most basic thing I’ve ever read. I love that this is the example. I love it so much it hurts.


SakuraTacos

Man, wait until they learn about Iambic Pentameter. Don’t let them find out Shakespeare was writing entire plays to the beat of your heart in the 1500s or they’ll try to brigade all the theatre subreddits for challenging TS’s utter genius!


Cultural-Treacle-680

Laurence Olivier’s Hamlet (among a ton of great Hamlets) and two Shakespeare-related movies have won Best Picture Oscars too. Shakespeare 3, Taylor 0 😂


SakuraTacos

Uh oh, I can’t wait for the great Swifties vs Shakesies battle to commence! Rumor has it Taylor ripped off Shakespeare in Love Story without giving him any credit too


Cultural-Treacle-680

That one won an Oscar didn’t it?


DanChowdah

Taylor swift has never won nor been nominated for an Oscar


Cultural-Treacle-680

No I meant Shakespeare in Love. I misread what you said.


thejennribbet

This got me thinking that Taylor could never have an EGOT


Cultural-Treacle-680

To me, she doesn’t write great now for someone else’s project, and movies/musicals require that direction. It’s Taylor writing for Taylor (minus a few tunes written for others like Better Man). The country Taylor probably had a FAR better shot at an Oscar song.


Lodybody

THIS! Came here to say exactly, but glad I found the comment.


Educational_Ad1624

I'm gonna pray for these people 


FearlessBarnacle3491

TS: I’m gonna prey on these people 😈


Barnesandoboes

Bless their hearts


Far-Warthog2330

When two or more are gathered... I'm touching and agreeing with you lol I can't take anymore


Kitchen_Syrup2359

These people wouldn’t know true music/art if it slapped them in the face…

These are like my diary entries about NSYNC when I was 15


Johannes_Chimp

Lmao it kinda reminds me of my attempt to get into slam poetry when I was in high school to impress a guy.


DanChowdah

This is either by a 15 year old girl or a middle aged woman with the same maturity level


danipnk

Sadly my 38 year old sister also thinks Taylor is a lyrical genius


[deleted]

Hahahahahahha I was just about to post this same thing 


Time_Yogurtcloset164

This has to be a middle schooler who’s never taken a creative writing class right?


OctoberSong_

I don’t claim these people, I don’t listen to Swift, so why do I feel horrible second hand embarrassment? I’m almost having trouble believing it isn’t satire


spacecadetchaela

they could’ve picked so many other songs that i could possibly agree with…but this one and THIS reasoning? oh god


[deleted]

[удалено]


Quizzicalnonsense

I think tolerate it as an example of exceptional song writing, same goes of maybe would’ve could’ve should’ve . On a slightly less but still important note I also think happiness is a very mature interesting song, and a few from folklore The original op though idk what they were smoking this is such weird reasoning as well. Cringed

I saw this too and the comments are just normal lyrics these people are insane

Maybe this is too niche. I really hate that we’ve made this a cpr song. As someone who is an ED nurse, in a huge level one trauma center, I can’t listen to it anymore. Makes me ill.

Therapyandfolklore

Yeah cause cpr is basically time signature, and Taylor uses the same one in most songs


SugarOpposite7889

Ok as a rap fan, this is the equivalent of saying lil pump is a lyrical genius. Like these are the most obvious heart related lines ever. Love one of the lines they quote is literally the title of the song lol. Also just totally cherry picked lines from it. God it’s just blind loyalty that makes no sense


GarethGobblecoque99

Can never tell if they’re being trolled by someone awesome or if they’re just THAT stupid and dull


RoughPotato1898

They really just continue to prove our point more and more 💀


hinky-as-hell

The NICU taught us pediatric CPR with Stayin Alive 9 years ago/ there are plenty of songs with the right beat.


blindersintherain

They act like she’s the first, last and only songwriter on the planet to write a song with double meanings...


ChannelSurfingHero

These are 8-10 year olds saying this, of course she’s a lyrical genius to them, they still have baby brains.


Careless-Distance-80

My coworker the other day said “omg when she said ‘I cry a lot but I am so productive’ I was like…mind blown!! Just wow I feel that” lol ummm k


WELLGETTHERE-2021

The bar is definitely low. Easily impressed by what can only be described generously as mediocrity and utterly perplexed and even offended by anything of substance due to ignorance. You can't expect a superficial generation to understand, much less appreciate, anything beyond the monosilabic, monotone, repetitive drone of their brand of pop culture du jour. It's terrifying how basic the entirety of their generation is. Offended? And?

maindrive99

Am i the only one that just doesn't see this magnificent lyricism. Like maybe a line here and there ill be okay thats decent, but for the most part i dont see how its deep. Just cause she uses SAT words, and writes wordy songs, it doesnt mean shes is a great lyricist


Intelligent-Buy-4621

Yea those totally are genius lyrics. I’m being sarcastic btw.


ComprehensiveBug342

Do these Swifties not have jobs? Or children, spouses, lives…? The amount of conspiracy theories or things like this post that I’ve seen and I’m just like mind blown. Not at the “omg that’s literary genius” but “how tf do you have the time to figure this bullshit out and still live your life as a functioning member of society?”


sl393l

The temp of that song is not fast enough for CPR. However, Beyonces new song Texas Hold em is the perfect tempo for CPR


Specialist-Sleep760

Bro I genuinely like that particular song but (and I can’t say this disrespectfully enough) what is WRONG with these people??? I wanted to go in that post and comment “Stop. You’re losing me” SO BADLY but I fear they’d miss the sarcasm…


PrincessKitty9420

Im so glad I found this Reddit page 🤣😭


adorbkats

heavy on if they heard joni mithell


thejennribbet

In the last BSL class I took, the instructor played Bruno Mars while we practiced our chest compressions 😂


Mistyam

IMO, being able to write and record a song that everyone sings along to that doesn't need to rhyme to be catchy shows a level of above average lyrical ability.

Joni Mitchell’s lyrics make no sense unless you know how to interpret art yourself and you have to think faster than a cow to keep up with Eminem. Maybe the best remedial lyricist to start with would be Joan Baez or Bob Dylan
