There are a number of songs that can all be used for CPR. This includes Another One Bites The Dust, Tearin' Up My Heart, Heartbreaker (by Led Zepplin), Bye Bye Bye, It's My Life, Achy Breaky Heart, and Highway to Hell. Really it's any song with 100-120 bpm, but those are some of the ironic ones.

I love that Siobhan completely anticipated the humiliation to come and just leaned into it for the pure comedy of it. I love Murph embracing the sweet release of death over enduring a British nursery rhyme.

I mean, that has some almost-truth to it; egg whites aren’t great for open wounds but the very thin membrane between the egg white and shell is!

Don’t try and use it for like a punctured lung or anything though.

Not only is it used to teach CPR but theres a punk version of it that was traditionally played as the last song of the night in night clubs from the 70s into the 2000s and then it became a tradition to play it as the last song of the night at a New Years party.

Can confirm: my mum was an NHS midwife and she got taught Nellie the Elephant in her actual hospital based, medical staff CPR refresher courses.

As a current first aid instructor, the tempo you need to do it at is 100-120bpm. Nellie the Elephant is like 30bpm faster than that so it’s no longer taught. I usually use “Stayin’ Alive”, “Another One Bites The Dust”, “Rumour Has It” (by Adele), or I even get candidates to just pick songs at that tempo which they personally like which makes it easier for them specifically to internalise it

But I the big reason it wasn't Nellie the Elephant was - according to one of the instructors - because of the Toy Dolls version of the song, and you didn't want first aiders pausing chest compressions for the "oooooooooOOOOOOOOO*OOOOOOOOOOOOOOH*!" build up between verse and chorus.
