Taking an infant CPR class in advance of your little one's arrival is an important item to check off the prenatal to-do list, but without regular practice (and who really takes time to do that?), most parents forget the steps they should take if they ever need to perform the life-saving action on their baby.

Thankfully, the clever folks at St. John Ambulance — a leading first-aid charity in the UK — created an animated video that includes a clever CPR-ready jingle. But that's not all: the two-minute clip also gives a hilarious look at how everyone's favorite lullaby characters came up with the song over at Nursery Rhymes Inc., not to mention how difficult it is to rhyme words with "ambulance."

The catchy tune — that explains the order and amount of mouth breaths ("one puff, two puffs, three puffs, and four . . . five is enough, don't puff any more!") and chest pumps to be administered — is one we insist any parent memorize and sing to their little ones at once.
