  • type in 'The Call Centre Song' LOL!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!

  • 90% confidence. Means we're not certain. I for one won't be making any sacrifices on 90% confidence.

  • who is singing this amazing rendition?

  • @mLsurfer182 Alex Dugan, Joe Brandon and Crispin Lord, all from Trinity School.

  • There are a couple of vids of energy efficiency on my channel, I've just sent them to an ecologic film festival.. hope you like it! 

  • 2020 is coming - we'll keep an eye on their targets !!!

  • nuclear power is not the most environmentally damaging or expensive, every form of power production has its disadvantages and I'm sure if they said they were going to build a bunch of wind farms near you you would moan then or if they had to destroy marine habitats for wave power you would bitch and moan still. If you are going to preach on youtube try and make sure you know what your talking about and at least back it up with some reputable evidence.

  • @aknight1990 good stuff :) someone sees sense

  • i put lyrics cos the singing pronunciation is weak part way thru:

    It's not that easy being green;

    Having to spend each day the colour of the leaves.

    When I think it could be nicer being red, or yellow or gold...

    or something much more colourful like that.

    But green's the colour of Spring.

    And green can be cool and friendly-like

    (..green can be cool and friendly-like)

    it's beautiful! And I think it's what I want to be.

  • I've uploaded the song onto my page if you want to hear it, it's by '2 different people'

  • who sings this?

  • Comment removed

  • save today , save tomorrow by shutting down all edf's nuclear reactors and not building any new nuclear reactors. Nuclear energy is the most expensive and environmentally damaging way to produce power.

  • @tubeofpaint nope it isnt one of the new epr stations costs £3.4 billion and i know that because i work for them and i went to flammenville yesterday to look at it in france it has a lifetime of 60 years and if they look after the reactor and dont run it at 100% all the time which they dont because i saves money in maintenance it can then be extended for another 20 years and in that 80 years it produces 1650 Mw a year 132000 Mw over a lifetime and it would take over 1000000 wind turbines runnin

  • @tubeofpaint g for nearly 90 years to produce any where near as much electricity as one EPR station over a lifetime and if we shut down all the nuclear reactors cities between the hours of 5:30 and 9 pm will experience blackouts due to a lack of power and unreliability of wind turbines but also solar power and the inefficency of tidal and hydroelectric the only other method would be coal fired or gas fired power stations but that is going back in time and they have a higher fatality rate.thanks

  • IF NUCLEAR POWER CAN MAKE THE HULK REAL, THEN I SUPPORT NUCLEAR POWER

  • @Alchoholica1 Best. Comment. Ever.

  • Andrew Brown is an executive at EDF and we all know about his brother Gordon so he has had a good teacher with the lies about climate change

  • 0:25

    I seriously thought it said "Or global thermonuclear wipeout" the first time I heard this.

  • EDF seem to be reducing carbon emmisions by making electricity VERY expensive

  • uuhlooking for a man that would give me some experience.

  • It is not a boys' choir, it was a gang of EDF meter readers who had their goolies shut in a vice for the duration of the recording.

  • save today with Black Google Pixeleco.

    the address is pixeleco . com

  • it is a shame this song is not available for download. I really would like to have in my Ipod.

  • I'm not going to comment on EDF the company, but they have a good advertising department. This is one the few adverts ever I was actually sorry to see go, it's a good song and a nice message.

    It's by a boys voice choir, they made it direct for the advert and as far as I'm aware it's not avalible for download anywhere.

  • i love this song <3 does anyone know what it is ?

  • Bein' green, originally sung by kermit the frog

  • thanks :D but did anyone sing it like this and release it ? : ) x

  • Im afraid I dont, your best bet us just to search bein' green and then search around in the related videos. I think theres quite a few versions out there.

  • ohh thanks anyway and i will do :)

  • No prob.

  • EDF use more Fossil Fuels than anyone else.They Lie and Steal every Day from us English Spineless Mugs.Watch Out!We will get You all One Day!Remember "Action Direct"Your Company Stinks of SHIT!!

  • Comment removed

  • Entirely postmodern...

  • EDF are an amazing company and all you haters can swivel.....

    you can even see the irony that they are powering the PC with which you chat ure mindless hate... EDF FTW

  • It's called marketing mate, green is good for business, EDF are no different from any other multi national, explot, exploit, exploit. As Satre wrote "The only thing that capitalism distributes properly is poverty"....

  • Green people are the fucking worst... middle class arm-chair reveolutionaries... they detract from REAL world problems... and have destroyed the socialist movement..

  • true. But no socialist would describe EDF as a good company.

  • Correct fella but i've got some first hand experince of this and nothing makes my blood boil more then then seeing green protestors outside one of thier plants and afterwards they fuck off back to there mum and dads £500,000 house and watch their wide-screen tellys..... and talk about being an anarchist heart but voting conservative.

  • rant over now I promise :P

  • Hi.I hate them.Like Your Approach/Thoughts.Can't We do something to STOP these Pricks,and the Idiots Who Swallow it all?Cheers,Phil

  • urrmmm, has anyone got the full verison of this song?

    love it

  • Edf don't give a shit about this planet they are just trying to draw you all in...as usual

  • u have a day off u retard how the fuck does edf stand 4 recycling

  • its all shite

  • Brilliant advert, Kudos to Euro RSCG London for making this :D

  • @Perreaua on your own

  • this is a fantastic advert, i love it

  • To add to what i put below, I think that it is important that big countries such as USA and China work harder to lower emissions as although emissions are not totally responsible for climate change, they are a factor. The UK is only responsible for 2% of emissions whereas the USA and China 'contribute' a lot more. It is everybodies responsibility to maintain and not poison our planet.

  • Are you an idiot?

    China may pollute more but they have 19% of the population, the UK has less than 0.1%. It's fair that 1.3 billion people pollute way more than 65 million people, if you look at per capita emissions then the UK is one of the biggest polluters.

    Why are British people so damn retarded? I'm so moving to the US after my degree.

  • I LOVE this advert. I think its one of the best adverts ever. I disagree though that global warming is caused solely by us (humans) and CO2 emissions. The temperature of the earth has varied over time for example, look at the last ice age. Since then the earth has warmed up which is NOT as a result of our emissions. HOWEVER I still feel strongly about saving energy and lowering emissions and it is common sense to save power as it will undoubtedly save you money.

  • "look at the last ice age"

    Whta the fuck are you talking about, the last ice age took hundreds of years to come about. we are seeing a temperture rise that has happened faster than any temperture rise in geological history.

  • What does EDF stand for?

  • Électricité de France

  • EDF energy is the british subsidiary. But yes thats why EDF stands for Électricité de France. its the national power supplier. By the way i'm not some expert on EDF, i just went on wikipedia. Obviously you didn't have the sense to do that.

  • This advert makes me extremely emotional, because I know we are facing a very sad future as a result of Global warming. And the fact is, everyone is ignorant of it. When I see the motorways of the world devoid of cars, I WILL BE HAPPY.

  • Is it possible to get this version of the song? I'd love to have it on my ipod!

  • is it Mark Heap doing the voiceover?

  • best advert ever. powerful meaning should be listend to 'our problems are man made, and there fore can be solved my man'

  • i lov tht its made with recycled clips#

  • who is singing this now?

  • In this advert it's Trinity Boys School in Croydon,

  • Fuck off? I was answering someones question. You need to grow up.

  • I love this version of the song :)

    Peace

  • It's true maybe that the boy singer in this ad has an Angelic voice, but the track by

    2 DIFFERENT PEOPLE is the sort of track that you could play anywhere, being more up to date

  • Nice advert, looking back at bygone eras but with a vision for the future.

  • i think this is the best version and i agree with salexlindsay, they should have released it.

  • I disagree and think that this version is the best one so far. It's a shame that some people have to revert to useing bad language and just shows their lack of vocabulary. If only they realised their inadiquacies and grow up.

  • Why did EDF not release this version of Bein' Green?! Just about everyone seems to agree it's better than the 2 different people version. I don't want to be rude, but I felt quite let down. This recording by the boys from trinity school in Croydon has to made available!!!!!

  • I switched my Gas and Electricity with the Home Advsory Service. Check them they are really good

  • My Uncle works for EDF Energy.

  • who sings this version of the song??

  • kermit sung it better lool

  • i think it is the best company!!

  • i didnt really worry about what the advert was sayin (cause im not exactly goin to be alive when the world ends so meh but when i heard this song with the added stuff i got shivers lol weird ...

  • I had to sing at work to ... we were not made..!!

  • i dont give a fuck what you sing you dick..edf can suck my fucking dick robbing french motherfuckers.

  • ive been told to sing this song by edf as i work there in a contest for fun. it's only for 1 minute but im going to try and make that 1 minute last and kind of sing it in a deeper voice as im kinfd of older than the lads singing this. im a bit nervous about it but ive been told i can sing it in my own style of voice in a recording booth at work on my dinner break. i dont know how thats possible but i might give it a try. possible meaning the song will probably run in the same key as this does!

  • OMG The person who sang this came to my school 2 day (2nd of october) her names cat and the song will be released on 20th october its really good!

  • WHO SUNG THIS VERSION OF THIS SONG?Not the kermit the frog one.

  • It's not that easy being green

    Having to spend each day the color of the leaves

  • its gonna be the end of the world soon if we dont do anything

  • stfu

  • Does anyone know who sings this song?

  • 2 Different People - Bein' Green

  • Muppets sang this song :D:D but the words r vcut out I sent the lyrics 5 coomments above this one:D

  • Yeah I like to hear the song over and over again on the phone ad infinitum while I wait for EDF to stop ripping me off.

  • I prefere the version on their 'on hold' when i phone them she has a nicer voice..

  • EDF is the most expensive company . rip off.

    and that music is soo depressing.

  • Song:

    2 Different People - Bein' Green

  • We will not feel the effects of global warming stright away, we MAY be feeling the effects from when everyone had coal fires in the 1930s and after the industrial revelouton, so I bet on my life we will feel the effects of our input in YEARS to come, anyway the earth goes in a cycle with it's own CO2 emitions every few 1000s of years.

  • Propagranda garbage. I am tired of this exaggerated fear mongering shit being drilled into my skull 24/7. I love the fact that humans have been fucking up this planet for 5000 years but have only begun to care in the past 20 odd years, and even that is only because we think our own hides are on the line. Disgusting how this overblown tripe is being forced into minds of small children, being made to feel guilty simply for owning a telecision set.

  • Damn, did you remember to have breakfast this morning?

  • I love this advert!!!

  • In other news, EDF is going to release this on Itunes (not the same version but close), All profits are going to green energy. It's later this month.

    Respects

    (A very broken) Fau.

    p.s. God help you if you leave a light on in my house!!

  • why ? its a haunting, depressing cold song - its bad enough having to listen to it when EDF customer telephone services leave you on hold for 40 minutes ......im very happy to switch company now.

  • p.s your a nob

  • you mean "you're a nob"? and "p.s."?

    Lol, no offence was intended! It is pretty shite thou'. :>

    FAU.

  • no offence intended either. :>

  • DEAR GOD! I CAN'T ESCAPE!!!!! I'm an EDF employee, I hear this everyday, my analyst is afraid!, I have lost the capacity to relate to normal people, and I'm bloody moving to Mars!

  • who sings this

  • People are so "touchy" about this subject.

    The world can look after itself, Its us that we should be saving!

  • Don't you think it might be to late by 2020?

  • yes it is nuff said

  • this ad really reaches out to me and try to change my ways

  • I have an idea about safe, green, limitless energy supply but I will not tell anyone because I'm afraid people will steal my invention. I know the father of a friend, he invented a perpetuum mobile and he will not show it to anyone because of the same reason. People and their greed for power are the reason no one presents real alternate energy sources.

  • This ad makes me very sad, just knowing how selfish the human race has been in the 20th/21st century. I mean, in effect we're killing our children of the future.

  • what u mean lies thegreatgrumdini?

  • leave it out m8

  • save today save tomorrow what a legend saying

  • m8 i agree, SAVE TODAY, SAVE TOMORROW! emotional i think in cruise's words of wisdom bible. weyyyyyyy

  • I love this song, does anyone know how/where to obtain it??

  • the original is as you probably know by a guy named joe rapossi, unsure of spelling exactly, his version was written for sesame street for kermit the frog to sing, dont know if there are more verses, the advert is short, i think it was just made to fit it, ive heard rumours that bands have been covering it live though??

  • JFK wat a legned god rest his soul

  • THUNDERBIRDS ARE GO!!!!

  • love that song, fits the advert perfectly

  • "oh thats a good idea making good use of bad rubbish " lol i love that line great song

  • and so true with this ad

  • Marvel say: "Hello Lawsuit!"

  • Who sang this song?

  • Trinity boys school in Croydon, UK.

  • Sesame street had great music

  • Like Thaaaat!

  • Fantastic Ad!

  • Who sang this song?

  • fantastic advert

  • who sings this version

  • Absolute Brilliant Advert!

    Good Song Too!

  • I absolutelyyy lovveee this song.

    Where can you ger it from?

    I want it on my iPod!

    Anbody??

  • ive just started training for these guys..and i have to say...everyone is very committed to becoming alot greener...even down to the way that EVERYTHING gets recycled, we have seperated bins for everything..!! its brilliant..they are a really good company to work for....

  • Nice advert, shame it's a myth.

  • how is it a myth can u reply just wanna know

  • this makes me cry u peopel who us cars i can not belive u

  • Cars are a very efficient and important way of travelling. How can i be green huh when the government have just built another terminal at heathrow and want to build another runway. I think we should all be given Pollution credits that means for instance Britain has to reduce their pollution by 30% by 2012.This means each and every one of us will be involved and we will be able to take our government seriously

  • lol a lovely add

  • Climate change is going to happen anyway, its a natural process.

  • What a great ad. And 60% CO2 reduction sounds very impressive. Wonder how they'll do that?

  • Everytime I see this video it makes me more upset that I can't get this song..!

  • great advert.

    save energy! save the world!

  • that jfk speech at 36 seconds is so moving....no other word for it

  • Love the way they editted this, with all the old and new clip's! =D

  • This video really does help people save energy and make a way of changing climate change

  • I work for them. OH PLEASE reducing their emmisions????? They have just got over 300 new vehicles, they dont treat their staff well either they give out that they wanna help us then refuse it when we ask. They are useless

  • If they are so bad why don't you work somewhere else?

  • Mate, I also work for EDF Energy and you are sooo off the mark, maybe you should leave! I've never known a company as committed as we are right now.

  • I also work for EDF Energy, in the HR Dept to be exact, Let me tell you something.., this is the most committed I have seen a company act towards Climate Change, It also has one of the best benefit's packages that an employee could want, and does a hell of a lot for it's staff and commitments,

  • And you need to face facts that a lot of our work is done Field Based and thus vehicles are needed, It how they balance that out as a company that is important and research into Bio fuels, and the fact they are actually reducing the CAR fleet, speaks volumes, I don't really know what your problem is about the company but this is the forum to raise them in..

  • 1 of my fav ads i jus dnt like the new 1 they made

  • I like the music on this ad. I also like the moral and the clips used in it.

  • I love this ad.
