Allied Dunbar - Grim reaper "there may be trouble ahead" (1994) :60 (UK)

A man is working very hard on his train ride home and feels the stress overwhelming him. A newspaper headline reads "are you working yourself to death?" and suddenly the grim reaper appears. That's when the "there may be trouble ahead" song and dance number begins, as the man realizes he should change jobs.


"Are you alright? You look like death!"
