Instead the song was used as part of Restart a Heart Day, aimed at educating people about cardiopulmonary resuscitation and using Automated External Defibrillators to save lives. 

Currently about 30,000 people suffer a cardiac arrest each year across Australia, with only one in 10 surviving. 

For Ambulance Tasmania paramedic intern Corey Armstrong, Tuesday marked a month since the death of his grandfather from cardiac arrest.

He said it was very encouraging to see the amount of people taking an interest in learning potentially lifesaving skills. 

“We have had more than 100 come through already and its only lunchtime,” he said. 

“The message is anyone can give it a go and this is something that can make a real difference. 

“Unfortunately my grandfather wasn’t the one in 10 who survive, but we know that early intervention can increase the chance of survival by up to 50 per cent.

“Being able to help push that message in the community has been really rewarding.”

This year Ambulance Tasmania joined forces with St John Ambulance, the Australian Resuscitation Council, Heart Foundation, Paramedics Australasia, University of Tasmania and Australian Red Cross, with Restart a Heart Day events held across the state. 

Mr Armstrong said it was important that people refreshed their CPR skills every 12 months. 

“You are never to young or old to learn,” he said.
