More than 100 children are killed every year walking to school. Another 25,000 are injured. And half of the 31 pedestrians killed while boarding a bus are children between the ages of 5 and 7. Yes. You heard that right. Children are being killed and injured on the way to school every year.
So when American Traffic Solutions, creators of the CrossingGuard® school bus stop arm enforcement technology for school buses, approached me about doing a video to spread awareness about these tragic facts, I was immediately on board. Anything to help protect our kids!
So what’s the problem? How is this happening? It’s all about the drivers. People speeding through school zones. People talking on phones, texting and generally not paying attention when they’re driving. People passing school buses when the lights are flashing and the stop arm is extended. Not only is the latter illegal, it’s incredibly dangerous for our kids.
I love the song Bust a Move and thought it was just perfect song to bring this message home. I mean, how could I resist a line like, “It’s big and yellow, you say hello, come pick up my kids you fine fellow” when singing about a school bus? I couldn’t! So tada! Here’s my Bust a Move Parody – See a Bus, Don’t Move!
It’s time to spread awareness about this tragic issue. So please, share this video and remind people that kids are walking to school and getting on the bus. Remind them to pay attention when they’re driving, and of course, if you see a bus – DON’T MOVE! #BusDontMove
Thank you to the Haggarty, other Haggarty, Falasco, Craig-Kaludzinski, Turri, Hudnut, Hibbs families and Janice as the bus driver! You guys were amazing. Thanks to Aaron Fagerstrom for not only his amazing camerawork, but for standing in as my distracted driver. And aMOMamous for your background singing! Love you all! Here are the lyrics!
They still have buses in B’game? Lucky you!
Just when I didn’t think I could love your videos more! <3
Aw, thank you mama!!!!! xo
Ha, ha! That’s awesome! (the video, not the horrific statistics). I am soooo looking forward to 2016 when my kiddo starts Junior Kindergarten. I start work at 3pm so that’s SIX WHOLE HOURS a day… maybe I will finally have a clean kitchen! And time to work on my sculpture, maybe.
Oh I would LOVE if you worked on your sculpture! Don’t let the laundry steal all 6 hours!
That song and video was awesome and creative! great job!
Thank you!!!!
AWE.SOME. Love it Deva! You and your crew did a GREAT job on this one! Another HIT Momma!
THANK YOU!!!!! I love Bust A Move so I was THRILLED when Young MC gave me permission!
I am so ticked. I cannot here a word on youtube. All of a sudden. Just watched you on my phone. I love you guys. Good song,good message.
I had that problem… try a different browser perhaps?
Sometimes you actually mistakenly turn off the audio on YouTube – it’s on the bottom left of the screen. Try that!
Home run again! LOVE your songs! I cry from laughing every time! And great message with this one as well. Keep em coming!
Aw, thank you!!!
Awesome! Way to go Deva D!!
YOU WERE AMAZING!!!!!
I think this one has to be my favorite out of all of them. You really are talented! Great job!
Oh my gosh – thank you for saying that! Means a lot to me.
Another hit and gem, Deva! Seriously, great message as both my kids take the school bus and have seen it all with cars trying to sadly pass while the bus is picking up and dropping off here. And love the song you parodied for this, too!
It is so scary. I have heard so many awful stories today. Super important to keep our kids safe. And thank you – glad you like the video!!!
I am a school bus driver, and I appreciate the message this sends! thank you for getting this out there!
You’re so welcome! And thanks to YOU for protecting and helping our kids!
Made me laugh!
🙂
Awesome! It is just as catchy as the original song, too. Here, some fail to stop as well and we even have careless drivers finding it humorous to race around the park track while kids are playing, having a birthday party, and practicing for Little League sports. One man was caught by a cop who happened to be patrolling the park that day–to which we rooted the officer on, and later thanked a group of them for nabbing the jerk.
These speeders and reckless drivers fail to realize just how precious our little ones are to us.
Way to go, Deva!!
Thank you!!! Yes, it’s SUCH an important message. SEE A BUS, DON’T MOVE! LOL
