And FINALLY..... No X Factor losers or winner. No stars who couldnt carry a tune in a bag. No singers who feel the need to mime on stage because they cant perform live. But a group of talented 80s singers who 30 years later mostly still perform to sell out crowds even if they dont make the charts any more with their albums. I genuinely am disappointed in Bob Geldof and Midge Ure killing this wonderful song (& they never even made it to Christmas #1 - at #17). I believe that they should have recalled: Bananarama Bob Geldof Culture Club David Bowie Duran Duran Eurythmics Frankie Goes to Hollywood Heaven 17 Human League Kool and the Gang Midge Urge Paul McCartney Paul Young Phil Collins Spandau Ballet Status Quo Sting The Style Council U2 Wham! And re-recorded the song with the original vocalists and production... because Band Aid 30 is dreadful. Do they Know its Christmas ~ Band Aid 1984: youtu.be/bjQzJAKxTrE Its Christmas time Theres no need to be afraid At Christmas time We let in light and we banish shade And in our world of plenty We can spread a smile of joy Throw your arms around the world At Christmas time But say a prayer Pray for the other ones At Christmas time its hard But when youre having fun Theres a world outside your window And its a world of dread and fear Where the only water flowing Is the bitter sting of tears And the Christmas bells that ring There are the clanging chimes of doom Well tonight thank God its them instead of you Feed the world Let them know its Christmas time Feed the world Do they know its Christmas time at all? And there wont be snow in Africa This Christmas time The greatest gift theyll get this year is life Where nothing ever grows No rain nor rivers flow Do they know its Christmas time at all? Feed the world Let them know its Christmas time Feed the world Let them know its Christmas time again BRIDGE: (Heres to you) raise a glass for everyone (Heres to them) underneath that burning sun Do they know its Christmas time at all? END: Feed the world Let them know its Christmas time END: (repeat & fade)
