Dumb ways to die - Train safety ad.

Scroll down a bit.

But the song warns us against pushing red buttons.

I don’t think it’s there on the mobile version.

I like the girl’s singing voice. She sounds almost like a child, but is too polished to be just another child actor. She even exhibits a nice blues inflection. Anyone know who she is?

ETA: Looks like she is Emily Lubitz, who did it “cause she had bills to pay.” I’ll bet her band sells a lot more songs now.

They’re probably the “name brand” versions of the singer from the ad.

Interesting. I’d say that Emily Lubitz fits right in; all those artists/songs certainly do have a similarity to her and to each other. Is this a trend, perhaps just in Australia? They seem to have an “ingenue sexy” flavor (I just made that up).

I remember this gore from my childhood. Nobody scared the crap out of its constituents like the COI.

I love the video and the song. Very cute. I’m also a fan of the kidney donor. I see this as a public service for the world; perhaps it won’t have a huge effect on train safety in Melbourne, but the fact that it’s a worldwide smash might benefit people across the world.

Of COURSE! :smack:

Thanks, Aspidistra. I still find it vaguely annoying though. Why not:

*Set fire to your hair,
Play chicken for a stupid dare..

Stand behind a military jet,
Sell both your kidneys on the internet..

Swim with shoals of sharks during mating season,
Disturb a nest of wasps for no good reason..*

Generic enough I think; without sounding like the 51st State.

I was looking for the plump, well-dressed man with the top hat telling the kids with his stern voice…

“You have caused confusion and delay.”

So disappointed that he wasn’t there at the end of the video.
