A Sydney musician creates the best PSA ever
A safety campaign for Melbourne Metro trains has gone viral online, gathering more than six million views in the last three days.
The Dumb Ways To Die video and accompanying song, composed by Sydney musician and keyboardist for The Cat Empire Ollie McGill uses mildly sardonic humour to convey the dangers of acting stupidly around trains.
Ollie McGill told Richard Glover that he had no idea that the campaign would become so popular.
“I thought it was just something I’d do and then just never hear of again,” he said.
“I think I first saw it when it had about 7,000 views and I’ve just been monitoring it since then, and suddenly it had 60,000 views, then it had over 100,000,” he said.
At time of publishing the video had 6,025,297 9,000,000+ views.

Some guy in my hometown did that this week for real. He lost both legs *shudder*
Just my 12 cents.
people here don't seem to get it at.all. i've seen several doing it at clayton, and i just shake my head and wonder wtf they are thinking, and what on earth can be so important they can't wait.
Got a couple of friends who work with Metro.
One works at the main interchange in the city (Southern Cross AKA Spencer street station) and the other works as clean up, so they clean up after graffiti all the way to major accidents, such as suicide and truck/car head on collisions.
Being a person who has traveled on trains her whole life, I have been lucky not to be on any train that has been in any incident. But my mother has been on 8 in the past 3yrs. My husband has been on 6.
