"Dumb ways to Die" Funny Aussie safety announcement.

My daughter came home from school singing this one the other day.

Its apparently quite popular in the grade school yard these days, and after I checked out the song, I can see why. Very clever and catchy...and it's fun and easy to play on the guitar too.:rugby:
It was originally a public servic announcement here in Australia promoting Train safety in Melbourne, But it's catching on all over now.

Warning: Funny cartoon characters will die silly deaths.:stupid:

That is both funny and informative! I like the comments below it from what appear to be school kids.

Years ago a local sport diver decided to spear a +200lb Jewfish (Large grouper, not known for it's sense of humor) with, you got it, the line from the spear wrapped around his wrist. The fish joyously (we can assume) obliged the diver's death wish. Since then, we've referred to fatalities from dumb stunts as "Death by Jewfish". We've now changed our tune, and are singing "dumb way to die".

Oh well: I was pretty unspecific :distracted: Although you read my mind: that's what I was thinking... Hilarious! :laughing::biggrin:

A hug my friend,

I like their little Post mortem dances the best. Good way to get a safety message across.
