    The term “fracking” has been thrown around quite a lot recently. But do we really understand what implications this could have on our lives, or are the majority of us laughing because “fracking” sounds very similar to “fucking”? If you fall in the latter group, you need to see this video. It gives you all you need to know in under three minutes.

    It was made by David Holmes, Andrew Bean, Niel Bekker, Adam Sakellarides, and Lisa Rucker. This is what they have to say about their intentions behind the video:

    My Water’s On Fire Tonight (The Fracking Song) is not meant to take the place of the rich, detailed investigation done by Abrahm Lustgarten and the rest of ProPublica’s frack squad. It’s impossible to sum up a massive, immersive experience like ‘Buried Secrets’ in a two-and-a-half minute song. Instead, the intent is to bring people in, to create an easily digestible package that compels news consumers to dig into the real meat of the story.

    An explainer is not ‘everything you need to know about X.’ It’s not a shortcut to becoming an armchair expert. But it is the starting point, the big picture, the tiny bundle of information that gives users the context to appreciate and understand the most challenging and rewarding works of journalism.

    So while we hope that you enjoy the song, what we really want you to do is read more about hydraulic fractured drilling, so you can truly understand ‘what the frack is going on.’

    “My Water’s On Fire Tonight (The Fracking Song)” is released under a Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike license. You can read the lyrics here.
