Five For Fighting Sounding World Party-like In New World Wildlife Fund PSA

Just catching up on the news this evening when a new PSA for the World Wildlife Fund : A Force for Nature caught my ear (and yours too by clicking the link). The soundtrack had a nice melody, but the vocal and the lyrics were excellent and the plaintiff singing reminded me of one of my old favorites, Karl Wallinger of the Waterboys and World Party (and that link shows that Karl's not too active).

But no, the singer and band in the PSA is John Ondrasik and Five For Fighting who just happen to be related to some good friends of ours who turned us on to them awhile back! Totally cool!! Great sounding tune and vocal!!!
