I have just seen the funniest safety advice video, which has really brightened up my evening! Condor Ferries wanted to get their message across in a way that would appeal to all members of the family, and they decided that the best way to do this would be a rap!
The Captain and two of his ‘crew’ have set their rap to the tune of ‘Good Times’ by Chic. (Well it is kind of). The appalling dancing, mis-timed words and cheesy grins only adds to the appeal of this for me!
One of the lines refers to ensuring a clufe jacket is on properly and goes something like…
‘..just listen for the click
Then you know you have it on properly
And you’re looking rather hip!’
I can think of a better rhyme for what they look like in those life jackets but it would not be kind, and apparently, a lot of work has gone into the concept of this safety video. It even has some snazzy graphics for your entertainment,
Anyway, without further adom I present to you ‘Good Times’ by the Condor Ferries Crew.

Hahaha!!!

When we lived in Georgia, we repeatedly got this automated phone call for a contest or somethin, It went: Loud ship horn sounds — “This is your captain speaking! You are a finalist…”

Oh my! Whatever it takes for safety, I guess. The captain looks a little like Prince William. Too funny!

That is so bad. I mean, I guess they are trying to be ironic in its badness, but it is really, really bad. Quite bad.

the music, the tune, they are rapping to is from one of the first songs in the rap music genre by the Sugar Hill Gang. Oddly enough, a good reference is that is the song the little old lady busted out in the Wedding Singer.

That captain was a bit too full of himself for my liking! I wouldn’t want any of them near me with that defibrillator!

Hello, and thanks for stopping by. I am Judy, in my (very) early fifties and decided that life definitely gets more interesting as it goes on! I am a wife and a mum and have just finished University as a Registered Nurse, after having worked as an Associate Practitioner in the NHS. I am also a poet and the author of my debut book, 'Rhymes of the Times.' I love to laugh, and I love rhyming words too, so I joined the two together, and my book was born. I am currently working on another book in the series also. I am a prolific blogger and enjoy writing funny stories, anecdotes, and anything really that takes my fancy.
