Learn How Not to Die With This PSA [VIDEO]

Ever set fire to your hair? Or, better yet, sell both your kidneys online? Hopefully not -- those are really bad ideas.

A new PSA by the Melbourne Metro highlights those mishaps, among others, in an animated sing-along.

The video, called "Dumb Ways to Die," is part of a campaign to help prevent train-related deaths in the state of Victoria, Australia -- a region that suffers from an alarmingly high number of train accidents each year. The overall message: be smart, be safe.

The morbidly cheery (or cheerily morbid?) video follows a cast of naive cartoons as they meet their unfortunate demises until, eventually, the whole gang -- now dead -- lines up and sings the chorus in unison. It's infectiously catchy.
