This ferry company came up with a novel way to make you listen to their safety message

Our ears are burning.

5-111

NOT VERY MANY people actually watch safety videos these days, do they?

Well, at least they won’t be able to tear their eyes away from this.

UK ferry operator Condor Ferries brought together three people who should probably never, ever rap, and made them do just that for an unbearably cringey safety video.

Did we mention it’s set to Rapper’s Delight by the Sugarhill Gang?

It’s bad. It’s brilliant. We can’t decide.

*Sigh.*

Sample lyric:

Life jackets, life jackets, they’re right beneath your seat/They’re bold and bright with a whistle and light and look so very neat.

The reaction's not all bad. As one YouTube commenter says:

I think I’d rather listen to this song than anything on the YouTube Music front page right now.
