I love the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (previously). Not only is it an agency charged with making sure that manufacturers don't screw over consumers — a position that I think is pretty hard to disagree with! — but they also have the best social media and marketing apparatus out there.

Case in point: USCPSC just dropped a mixtape called We're Safety Now Haven't We, with six genre-spanning pop song bangers explaining helpful safety tips. Yes, really. It's a true work of art, and you can download the whole thing for free on their website, or listen via the YouTube embed above. And I encourage you to use your head, and listen to me, about listening. And also about protecting your noggin:

VERSE 1:
First things firstLet me tell you what the issue isWhen you're in these streetsGotta stay vigilantCheck the stats, there's been way too many injured headsFrom riding round without nothing on protecting themBut we can do betterI'mma put my helmet on then go zoom, yea yeaSitting flat up on my head real evenlyLow on my forehead, yall ain't seeing me
PRE:
When I fly byCruisin'I'mma wave hi then byeCruisin'Don't forget to strap it on tightWho's inLet's skate, let's scooter, let's bikeChoosin'Choosing to do this thing right
HOOK:
When you're in these streets, (in these s-s-streets)Take caution (Caution!)Protect your neck and your nogginWhen you're in these streets, (in these s-s-streets)Take caution (Caution!)Protect your neck and your nogginWhen you're in these streets, (in these s-s-streets)Take caution (Caution!)Protect your neck and your nogginWhen you're in these streets, (in these s-s-streets)Take caution (Caution!)Protect your neck and your noggin

Yeah, this is exactly the kind of thing I want my federal tax dollars going for. Absolutely perfect, no notes.
