I was just at the dentist. That fucking "Do They Know It's Christmas?" came on the sound system. Confirming that dentists are sadists.
Once again, and I say this every year, Ethiopia has one of the world's oldest Christian communities. SO YES THEY FUCKING KNOW IT'S CHRISTMAS, SIR BOB.

You know, I had never really listened to Wonderful Christmastime until this weekend. God, what's up with that synth? It's proto-CTC.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Prepare to face the wrath of Heston.
Ok, I'm late here but I'd say Do They Know It's Christmas is a pretty decent effort bar the brainless outro chant. and 101 hit the nail on the head when he mentioned We Are the World, which was piffle in comparison.

Also, Mariah Carey and Wham were decent efforts, it's the mark of something good when they're still being played 25 or more years later. You can't really say that about Bob Dylan's Christmas song.

Here are my top 6 Christmas songs...

Merry Christmas Everybody - Slade
I Believe In Father Christmas - Greg Lake
Stop the Cavalry - Jona Lewie
I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day - Wizzard
Fairytale of New York - The Pogues
Happy Xmas (War Is Over) - John Lennon

I'm not so sure it is meant to be taken so literally. I think it's saying compared to the way we in the West celebrate Christmas with all the over the top excess. I'm sure Geldof and Ure knew they know it's Christmas. Anyway the only thing I like about that song is the sound of the drums. It's far from a great Christmas song.

I refuse to believe this! Ure, maybe. But not Sir Twit.

Well I don't care now anyway as I just burst out laughing at this post. I had to look twice as I was certain you had put Sir Twat.
