I was told it didn't work - allegedly kids were hit by cars & said "but we were singing the song"
I don't fully trust this to be true but the campaign became SLLT -Stop, Look, Listen, Think (is it safe to cross)

@futzle it'd be 40 years since I've heard it, but I could probably still sing it (for a loose definition of "sing") from memory

@futzle No, I’m too old.[?]

@futzle would have been before my time. I don't remember any ones about crossing the street when I was a kid (though I feel like there was a bird, but I'm probably thinking of slip slop slap)

@futzle "Hector the Cat? I've certainly never heard of Hector the Cat. Must be a Melbourne thing. So no harm in looking… Oh! Oh, blast."

@futzle I prefer this version https://youtu.be/PlMOZsehas0

@futzle
No, I'm too old. Or else from the wrong state.

@futzle and walk straight across the road don’t run….
