(A bit late, but that can't be helped anymore...)
Right into our main topic-
If you read Blue Roses, you probably have read Questa's post about Olympic elevator music.
Four words: Olympic. Elevator. Music. STINKS.
Not, sadly, that I would know firsthand, but when (Spoiler Alert!) Percy wonders whether he should have given up immortality to change the awful elevator music, it gives you the idea that it is not the best.
(Who chooses the elevator music? Apollo? Zeus? Random Maintenance Guy?)
The only reason I bring this up is that K, my wacky brother, is playing one of his favorite Wii games ever, Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games, and he is going "Staying alive! Just barely!" and Stayin' Alive is one of the perfectly horrible songs on the Olympic Elevator-ing System.
Here is the video for the song. Enjoy. Or not.
[Warning: If you have an aversion to tight pants (like me) you might want to skip this video. Think: All the Jonas Brothers. Put together. *shudder*]
Even if I think Stayin' Alive is a horrible song, my ABBA and Green Day and Led Zeppelin and Simon and Garfunkel and etcetera punky music is probably not music to someone else's ears, so ignore me.
(K likes this song.)
One cool things about this song is you can sing Stayin' Alive while doing CPR. Why? Because (a friend told me this) the song has 100 beats per minute, the recommended number of compressions per minute for CPR.
So sing Stayin' Alive to yourself the next time you perform CPR.
But if you're singing that, they may pretend to not be breathing just so you'll leave.
