OK, so here at Digital Diner recently we've all been walking around singing "Dumb Ways To Die" which we told you about in a previous post. It's really a catchy tune, but it's, um... well... kind of morose. I mean, sure it incents you to stay alive or at least not die in an embarrassingly dumb way. Yes, next time I'm in space I'll be sure to keep my helmet on just so you all don't laugh at me. But still, wouldn't it be nice to focus on something a little more positive than death? You know, something like discovery and science and all that sort of stuff that we hold dear here at Digital Diner. If you are looking for a more uplifting version of this little ditty, try "Cool Things to Find" in the video above. Stick that in your brain instead and maybe you can have a more positive day.
Of course, there is no way to unsee or unhear certain things... so if you think these parodies, copies and knock-offs are just pale imitations of the original, then maybe you should just give in, embrace the reality of the situation and watch/listen to the hour long version of the original below.
I don't know about you, but it's a bit of a toss-up for me. Of course, the main tune is totally stolen from David Bowie's Changes... Don't you think "Turn and face the strain..." == "Dumb ways to die." As we pointed out before, all songs are just copies of other songs these days anyway.
We are watching it for a second time! This never ends...
