Dumb Ways to Die

[vangogh]

I was reading an article earlier and it pointed me to the site Dumb Ways to Die (http://dumbwaystodie.com/). Click the video for a humorous song with animation. I'm posting it in the Water Cooler because it's funny and it's Friday and we can all use a good laugh to close the week. However realize this site and video is actually trying to help people avoid accidents at train stations and I believe the video went viral when it was first released. Humor can be a great way to market yourself or just get your point across.

Even thought the video is below, have a look at the site. It's well done and worth a look. The video is right there too and I think it plays better in the context of the site. Enjoy.

This video is very popular... its cute. I was in a bathroom once and heard two little girls dancing around like ballerinas singing this song.. it was disturbing because they were like 8 lol.

I like it, very cute/funny despite the death theme. I really like the animation style, very nicely done. ;)

That's pretty funny. And now the song will be going through my head all day, so that's for that Vangogh.

Hahaha!!

The Grizzly Bear at the very beginning is very timely... I'm headed to Yellowstone tomorrow and the grizzlies are roaming around. :-D

I wondered about something like that. The lyrics of the song are grim, but the music could easily be playing on Sesame Street. It sounds like a happy little kids song. I wonder if that's done on purpose. It might be weird hearing kids sing it, but if the song pops into their head when they're 16 and thinking about crossing the track when the gates are down, it's down its job.
