Here are some of the words, these sung by uberlib Bono.

“And there won’t be snow in Africa this christmas time
The greatest gift they’ll get this year is life”

“Where nothing ever grows
No rain or rivers flow”

“Do they know it’s christmas time at all?”

I have to believe that since this is Africa where a large majority of the inhabitants of that continent are Mooselums, they don’t really care if it’s Christmas.

What a stupid song by a bunch of starry eyed, shrill voiced libs.

Have worked at a college radio station for yrs and in the past we played a 12” single version of it which had an extended mix on the back. At least it was diff. from the version most people hear; various music celebs say hi during the instrumental break incl. Paul McCartney (”sorry i can’t be here today”), David Bowie (intoning a serious message about hunger) and Stu Adamson from Big Country. John Taylor from Duran Duran, etc. At the end of the inst. break Geldof is heard saying what day and time it was, “we’ve been here 24 hours and it’s time to go home now” before they all leap back in with 1! 2! 1, 2,
3, 4, FEED THE WORLD....”

Because everything’s on Youtube:

For some reason the DJ at my sister’s wedding reception figured we should all join hands and sing along with “we are the world...”

Novelty song spoof: “We are the worms, out on the sidewalk/ We are the ones who make a squishy sound, so watch where you walk. There’s a chance we’re taking...”
