Title: Dumb Ways to Die

Artist: Tangerine Kitty

Writer: Ollie McGill, John Mescall, Patrick Baron

Song Types: Country, Pop

Key: C

Info: Dumb Ways to Die is an Australian public awareness campaign video and media franchise made by Metro Trains in Melbourne, Victoria to promote railway safety. The original cartoon public service announcement for the awareness campaign went viral on social media after it was released on the internet in November 2012, amassing over 320 million views on YouTube. The campaign's animation was later developed into a mobile app available to iOS and Android devices

The song "Dumb Ways to Die" from the video was written by John Mescall and co created with Patrick Baron, music by Ollie McGill from the Cat Empire, who also produced it. It was performed by Emily Lubitz, the lead vocalist of Tinpan Orange, with McGill providing backing vocals. The band on the recording consists of Gavin Pearce on bass, Danny Farrugia on drums and Brett Wood on guitar. It was released on iTunes, attributed to the artist "Tangerine Kitty" (a reference to Tinpan Orange and The Cat Empire). The song, with a tempo of 128 beats per minute, is written in C major

The video was art directed by Patrick Baron, animated by Julian Frost and produced by Cinnamon Darvall.[3] It was uploaded to YouTube on 14 November 2012 and made public two days later. It featured characters known as "Beans", each bearing names such as "Numpty," "Hapless," "Pillock," and "Dippy" (the first four beans in the video, listed in order of appearance) dying as a result of their own stupidity (doing such unwise things as setting their own hair on fire or provoking a grizzly bear by poking a stick); the final three beans shown in the video, named "Stumble", "Bonehead", and "Putz", all die as a result of unsafe behavior at train stations and/or railways, which are deemed "the dumbest ways to die".

The animated video has two versions, one in English, and one in Spanish, titled "Formas Tontas de Morir."
