Band Aid '84 - Do they know it's christmas time

[2010shaneyboy]

so good

[tobbebarn]

The guy at 1.30 is Bono from U2

[usetheluck]

the person in blue is with Boy George in Culture Club.

[bspretipoison]

thanks! :D

[bspretipoison]

who is the person song the first part,

1:30 & 3:33 the blue guy

[brandonhytr]

who is that at 3:30

[elsyd1971]

I think it's the lead singer of Ultravox but I'm not sure.

[Snurglet]

@brandonhytr That's Marilyn

[Reynalton]

show! great!

[mothervideos]

1:20

Irony

[kpowers]

More only complaint for band aid 84 is where is Elton John???? I think his voice would had fit very well on this project

[kpowers]

I didn't expect much from the new we are the world version (by the way why didn't Quincy Jones do that for the tsumnami victims of 2004, that effected the world more than the earthquake in Haiti) and I was right. Band aid 84 was the best

[philos71]

@kpowers Good point!

[MsRockstarxoxo]

George Michael!!!

[kpowers]

Still the best version. Better singers/ Artist/ Musicians. That Band Aid 20 Version....Horrible

[sekoukim]

I must agree with you....I loved this version!

[Akpala15]

it's better than the new version of "we are the world"

[dimdimbaby]

it's not better. but it is good. however, they couldn't find Black folks to feature on this?

[JessyDrastic]

i was 7 years old when this came out. it was my first vinyl single i ever owned.

[ursaodegua]

Saudades!!!

[siyuntz]

I remember buying (or making my mom buy) about 5 copies of this album. The 45". I was 9. I wish I could still find one of those.

[Mezebezrakije]

[sjakievandehoek]

Dat was in 1984 een hit en dat bracht een enorme opbrengst op voor hongerend Afrika. Ik vraag me af of we 25 jaar later nog steeds geven aan en om de mensen die het minder hebben.

[sweetspicey]

[41sleep]

[zinned20]

merry christmass from the netherlands

fijne kerst dagen

[Recommend2]

@zinned20 jij ook ;)

[Sjoonie]

@Recommend2

jullie ook

[merlebachoise]

Oû puis je trouver la partition pour piano/synthé ? J'aime beaucoup de morceau. Dommage je ne comprends pas les paroles

[MrBeatlesDrummer]

Wheres Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson

[goblinonacloud]

Michael Jackson was a Yank and not in this

[Recommend2]

@goblinonacloud lol

[eduonderwater]

Haha you can see it's bono he is cool!!

[ScoobyLover01]

Who's the guy at 0:48? And where are Bono and George Michael? I can't recognise them.

[borys88]

George Michael is at 0:48 :) Bono is at 1:30

[OlderMoi]

Phil Collins on the drums. George Michael sings straight after and Bono sings the line "well tonight thank God it's them insteeeeeeeeeead of you"

[campfer64]

I remember watching this back in 1984 on MTV- they played this video about once an hour to get the most mileage out of it. Watching it now I notice how young everyone is - Bono, Sting, George Michael, Bob Geldolf. What a different time it was. Sing a song and change the world - we really believed we could.

[robbo21212121]

its not christmas till this plays,class

[ThePilot2B1]

My kitty cat and I were "tripping the light fantastic" to this fantastic video. Thanks!

[ESPRESSO36]

THANK YOU Recommend 2, for posting this truly inspirational song..for ALL year long..if it weren't for people like you, we couldn't enjoy these songs!

[christinezantow]

redsox141978--This was not caused by Islam. It was a natural disaster--a severe drought and famine. Listen to the words, read some history, get informed.

[BORNTOWELSH]

One of my favourite.

[reboo12]

this is soooo good i like i fink boy george? the second singer he is good we sang this 4 skool at our house comps

[GreenDayJinx93]

the background music in the very beginning sounds a bit like the lion king :) (the lion sleeps tonight)

[MC3520]

This is probably the best song in the world!!! And Boy George was amazing and he looks amazing!

[EditorTasha]

The modern version gives me a smile.

But this version gives me goose-bumps.

The reason why its the winner for me =]

[Recommend2]

Thanks for watching everyone!

Merry Christmas!

[allanoliver1690]

@Recommend2 merry christmas to you too

thanks for the vid i love it !!

[zuuziborn2ride]

best version forever!

[5211ee]

Band Aid '84 - Do they know it's christmas time

[ObiDjaxProductions]

Feed The World! Its sad to know Africa has gotten worse in the last 25years :( Let's Feed The World!

[redsox141978]

@ObiDjaxProductions all thanx to barbaric Islam

[Jakewejo]

Thanks for posting this with lyrics!! Band Aid is The Bomb!!!!!!!

[DerektheDuctTape]

This is a touching song.

[shaddoss]

hammerkoplady,,,think your profile sums you up....live aid has raised over 150 million pounds....

get a life.....theres no snow here in mexcio either but i dont think thats racist......its people like you that cause so many problems...........

[reboo12]

i love this song!! my mum likes george michel and his bit but i like all of it!! best xmas ssong!!

[rdyer1991]

Id like to point out to HammerkopLady that this is no way a racist song!!! by 'there wont be snow in africa this christmas' doesnt mean no white people, it means no snow as in the weather, no one else thinks its racist so obviously you are too ignorant to realise its a song, and that it snows at christmas. its just a song to get people to give aid to africa, and in my opinion its a great idea, so sort yourself out and dont look between the lines, as there is nothing wrong there!!!!

[purpleflower77]

Wow! You hear this guy? Ignorance! If you look at the date (1984) and the reason this song was made, you'd see there isn't any racism going on here. In the '80 Africa was a focal point for aid...especially for feed the hungry. Inform yuorself before you make comments idiot!

[lisstef]

I think "where nothing ever grows, no rain or rivers flow" not directly refers to africa as a continent. But to some places in africa.

And they mean well, I think.

[Emoleinx3Vivi]

Wonderful

:D

[anacondapink]

i LUV this song!

are these people dead yet?

just asking lol...:)

[abiiscenekid]

the song is only 25 yrs old

[iluvschnix]

thanks for making me feel old!! LOL

[ohmygodwegotleo]

lol maybe some are but lots aren't yet, no

[LeafsClub]

I know it's Christmas time. Now!

[rorschach1978]

right now dude!

[stevocooldude]

This is a very good song!

[cloexcloe]

i love this song, but i dont get something...

Why is it spelt

christmastime?

Where has the space gone?

Its on it everywhere, so i dont think its a typo?

[1988wonderwoman]

yeah everybody! i convinced my class to sing it too!

i love you bob geldof!

our school concert for christmas will be great!

LET THEM KNOW IT'S CHRISMASTIME!

[Roceasy]

Everybody,

lets donate a little bit to the poor!

I mean we can afford at least to spend a little bit.

I'll do it right now

[mareihund]

Einfach immer wieder sooooooo schön!!!

[WithinNightsCoil]

Yay I'm doing this at my school concert next week can't wait!

[ValeRyuuzakiKun]

I do dis fo mah X mas concert!

[adummummmummm]

Well tonight thank God its them instead of you

thats powerful like!!!

[CollegeKris]

who are the main singers in this song?

[thecatboyslim1]

still band aid 20

[CollegeKris]

thank god its them instead of you? that's a bit of an asshole thing to say... sorry, but that kills the whole song for me.

[gagaga1234ful]

I agree with but maybe its a it was a diferent mentality back then

or diferent way say or see things....if you know what I mean

[drugstorejunk92]

its supposed to be a sarcastic line. like the mindset of selfish people who have plenty. like thank god we are all very fortunate. when that line is said, its trying to make people to realize how selfish and greedy were are, especially during the holidays

[velenvskaelhas]

lol, that is a harsh line, true, but harsh

[Recommend2]

It's the same as "wow look at their haircuts"... Everything has changed. And be God thankful it's them and not us, would you like to live like the people in Africa? OK it's a harsh line, but it is not ruining the song for me.

[Chuloloc]

Awesome. My favorite humanitarian pop song of al time. Thank you, Band Aid.

[ireland2098]

were learning this in school theres really not dat much 2 learn

[hamsterbaker]

this was before my time but id rather this than to band aid 20 the original is soo much better

[MrHolyducky]

``THE BEST EVER``

respect for them

[MrHolyducky]

~~CRISMASTIME~~

the best time from the year

[guywholikesgames]

band aid is an iconic song yes it should be done every year but no matter what they do it will never be as good as this version love the '80's stars.
