I'm pretty good with french and used to do translations! Can't be bothered to speak it worth a lick now, but I can still translate it pretty quickly.
Too bad I can't get the video to load, huh?
Hm, guess there was no point to this reply.

I think the message is something about "music for a better, or cleaner place" ??? Music that somehow cleans sh*t up?

Really, I think it says something like "The music can make all the difference. Concert tickets for those who volunteer." If you click on the website, it's an initiative to get people to volunteer for community projects, in exchange for tickets to a concert.

@3 is correct. basically saying we can all change things with music, and there's a concert that you can get tickets for if you do 4 hours of volunteer service

Yep, you guys are on the right track. I think what they are advocating for music venues for benevolent causes. I think they are a company along with "M6" (the French channel for the younger generation). When checking the main site, their program involves volunteerism in exchange for free admission to large, popular concert (Busta Rhymes, Sefyu, David Guetta, Razorlight, and more). There is a clip with young French volunteers cleaning and repainting a health care facility for a ticket to a concert on Oct. 2.
There, now you know who to turn to when you want some nearly instantaneous French to English translations!

The voice over says "Go, Take care of [it]; Good Decision." The first frame says, In music, you can do all to move things, so basically "Music gives you the power to move things."

Here's another commercial from the series with "electro" music: http://tinyurl.com/qsrc4e
There's also a hip-hop commercial with break-dancers sweeping up a dusty floor. Gross.
