‘We're Safety Now Haven't We’

That grammatical absurdity is the title of a music album from — believe it or not — the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. The liberty with language extends to the songs.  For example, the benefits of wearing a helmet are offered via a track titled Protect Ya Noggin’ with lyrics such as these:

I’mma put my helmet on then go zoom, yea yea
Sitting flat up on my head real evenly
Low on my forehead, yall ain’t seeing me


To be fair, it should not be a surprise for anyone who has followed the social media postings by the agency.  As a report on CNET put it, the album is “the natural evolution of the agency’s amusing-yet-serious social presence”.

The cover art is equally amusing. Among other oddities, it features a cat with a phone and a fox wearing a bike helmet. There’s also a ‘warning’ that this is a government PSA.
