    People are talking about the "Mandela Effect", and I'm here experiencing the Berthoud Effect, where every bass line sounds way more awesome than what I remember.

    According to a research paper, Stayin Alive has the perfect pace to perform CPR. I think with that cover, you won't even need the CPR, the guy will just come back to life after the tapping part.
