Band Aid - Do they know it's Christmas

Insipid, awful, annoying. I want to claw out someones eyes. Damn song gets stuck in my head and I hate it vehemently!

Speaking of "Do They Know Its Christmas", I love how all these rich rock stars lecture the rest of us with these patronizing songs and feel that they are making a difference somehow. After they are done recording the song, they probably take their limos to a champagne cocktail party where they pat each other on the back and feel good about themselves.

"Feed The World" indeed.

The Bono verse in the song is especially patronizing: "Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you"

Band Aid - Do they know it's Christmas

Last year there was an article where Geldoff admitted it may be the worst song ever recorded. He has nightmares about carolers come by the house singing it. Serves him right for writing it.

"Feed the WOOORRRLLLD, Let them know it's Christmas time again" (sung 20 times in a row)

Shows you how much Geldof knew about his cause, the Ethiopian famine. Of course they knew it was Christmas. Almost 2/3 of the nation is Christian.

Worst thing about Geldof was he portrayed himself as a samaritan, but was po'ed he didn't win the Nobel Peace Prize for the effort.
