I don't have many friends out there that can speak french, let alone enough to understand rap. If they could though, I'd be sending them all this video.
Apparently, the French number for directory assistance became 118 in 2005. A publicity campaign promoting the number in France crossed the national borders into Switzerland, where 118 is the emergency number for the Fire Department. This confusion caused the Swiss dispatchers to be flooded with phone calls for directory assistance. Finally, frustrated with the phone lines being tied up with ignorant callers, a group of Geneva firefighters got together to make the video.
If you know French, but can't understand these guys, get the lyrics here.
Note: Apparently if you have a problem with an animal weighing more than 10 kg in Switzerland, you should call the fire department.
