Band Aid - Do They Know its Christmas 1984

[GaladedridDamodred]

Yeah.  They know it's Christmas. Africa's been Christianised a lot longer than America has.

[PurpleNinjasMusic]

Let it be Christmas soon! Best season of the year, and the 80's Christmas songs is always the best!

[SuperLollipopKitty]

@gchijioke12 All Im saying is you could have phrased your first comment differently:)

[TonyFerreira10]

Generation 80's at there best

There will never be another one .

[sallierozak]

@TonyFerreira10 I was born in 1991. I admitted that the 80's songs ALWAYS BE THE BEST! SINGERS ACTRESSES,BANDS EVERYTHING!!

[SuperLollipopKitty]

@gchijioke12 Wow, that is just horrible, it really doesnt matter which one, in your own personal eyes you think is better, its about raising money to help them so shut you stupid mouth and feed the world:)

[gchijioke12]

@SuperLollipopKitty I know what it's about, I just think We Are the World as a song was better.

[gchijioke12]

We Are the World is better :p

[HoffmanSan]

@gchijioke12 Oh God, its not about what is better...

[menswear2112]

2 Questions

1) Does Midge Ure's sing with them? Can't find him.

2) Who is the man at 1:15? From which band?

[0664rank]

@menswear2112 The man was the lead singer in the group Spandau (sp?) Ballet at 1:15 in the song

[eiche69]

@menswear2112 Tony Hadley,"Spandau Ballett" , Midge Ure 2:38 ?

[menswear2112]

@eiche69 YES! Thank you for the info. Long Live Ultravox!

[jakeandjodie12345]

[TheShyguy2010]

[AldoYam]

here are missing the remaining 3 of the Beatles  :P

[shelleyinthecity]

@AldoYam Yup, Paul should have been there.

[Cardboardarmour1]

This is really shit, should just get an ASDA! lol!!

[dhangdhoy27]

Nothing can beat the 80's songs!

[benfnov]

I was 22 when this came out. It is hard to overstate - stupid lyrics and all - how influential this was. And, yes, it still makes me cry.

[Cardboardarmour1]

@benfnov You're such a girrl!! loooooser!

[MrSTEPHENCENTORRINO]

where the hell is freddie mercury

he should have sung it :@ :@

[fifabublz17]

haha i always thought it was " We know, woaahhhh" instead of "feed the woooorld" lol

[DoorsAreOpen13]

I LOVE THIS!!

[gravelandgrain100]

the party don't start til Bananarama walks in;)

[TheMellowPanda]

Why am I STILL listening to this?!

[masterchiefer123]

......this sucks

[fenris1997]

@masterchiefer123 How come?

[melande1966]

@masterchiefer123

Hello Marcel

You need a brain .

[InDianaShy]

3:18 looks like Ke$ha :D

[BROjangleMAN]

is it just me, or can you listen to this song at anytime of the year and think its near christmas?

[SuperstarJ98]

media work again :'(

[Cerulean0987]

I wonder what was going through George Michael's mind as he sang with Boy George. Of course at that time Micheal wasn't out and Boy George, for all intents and purposes, was.

[OnlyVisitingU]

This timeless - people are starving still and not only at Christmas...

[marcingrochala1]

Boy George and George Michael -drug fuelled weirdo queers -but gosh they can sing.

[krzysiu8020]

Why I listen this in February?

[booker1959]

This is so much better than that awful "We are the World" thing; it's kind of lighthearted in a serious cause, and nobody has that phony sweaty intensity of "I have the whole universe on my shoulders and I'm saving all of humanity with my singing." They're just a bunch of pop stars having fun doing a good thing for some people who need it, and afterward they'll have a pint or two. Very cool.

[BarrieJettiese955]

ey i'm a lady who loves to have fun

[terminalvelocity10]

358 people are stupid

[MsMonkeykitten]

Bob Geldof! He plays pink in pink Floyd THE WALL!! he's amazing!! Bono! Boy George;) u all fucking rock!:) I seen so many faces from Floyd and queen concerts! This video has all the amazing 80's:) lol fucking bloody hell..that boy George cracks me up;)' I love him:)

[CordaRulez]

Passate ;) NBA dal Barbiere su Facebook

[ranger1843]

This video is the answer to the question..."How many celebrities from Great Britain can be duped into making a video to support African dictators?" Please see USA for Africa for the answer to the question..."How many celebrities from the United States...?"

That being said, daggone it, I like the song.

[thegeezerdan]

This is the best version of this song in my opinion better than any of the other versions.

[daveyzworld77]

i miss christmas!

[09colita]

BONO THE BEST

[RockerChris1234]

lets put our music differences aside and listen to this!

[HoffmanSan]

1:29 amazing voice

[mindylinky]

@HoffmanSan BONO :D

[AppleDude1010]

I don't care at the beginning..I LOVE THE END WITH ALL THE SIGERS!!Its so weird how I know this song and I'm only 11

[Ferchundei]

@AppleDude1010 How is that weird? 

[HaganDave]

George Michael looks like Steven Carrington from Dynasty

[pontello3]

band aid and live aid were the ultimate coffin of R.N.R and youth's culture

from that moments rock music becomes "institutional" and polite ...so the contrary for what were born

[TheInkspell32]

What no top comment???????

Come on people!!

Thumbs UP for this AWESOME song!!!!

And this is my favorite Christmas song!

[Vivalascurves]

Damn this is so sexy.

[MegaKellee]

Is it stupid that this song always makes me cry?

[Vivalascurves]

@MegaKellee im with you on that one.

[RockerChris1234]

@MegaKellee its not stupid trust me i have the same feeling

[PawlikLaphroaig]

Really love this song! Not just because it reminds me I was 15 and young when this hit ruled the world. I´ve never heard anything like like this, such strong, emotional and powerful. Thanks to Bob and Migde and the others!!! I dont expect anything like this to appear during my lifetime. Maybe it´s the best for me. God bless all of you.

[MichelleOsai]

@MegaKellee ..... Not Stupid at all... Human with a soul xx

[dutchcraptv]

@MegaKellee uuhm.. yes, it is supposed to make you happy...

[classicalcocacola]

@MegaKellee No, it means u care. Thats the exact oppisite!

[disneydanny2]

@MegaKellee no, it's perfectly natural. i sometimes get that way with "We Are The World"

[MsColdCanada]

@MegaKellee Not stupid at all. I'd say your heart is still working.

[cattycakes64]

I can only think of the Gavin & Stacey Xmas special when I hear this song now.

[mbo1071]

Phil Collins=Drummer No.1!!!

[thehoff1982]

at 2:32 did bucks fizz turn up in their mini metro that they were given for run for your life? lol!

[KichuFanGirl]

I see Bananarama!! <3 <3

[MrChumo71]

the only thing i dont like about this song is where it sayes "oh thank god it them instead of you"

[Poppenhuis]

@MrChumo71, am pretty sure it's meant sarcastically. You know, to create awareness and all :)

[henryporter101]

@MrChumo71 Why don't you like that line?

[TCfoxs]

I can't find the response.

[FC571]

a kind of prayer for someone..

[Ingo89ful]

GREAT

BRILLIANT

AMAZING.

[IntertekTester]

@palkantoknutz Like every political or social issue, celebrities would rather overstate everything to make it seem like more of a crisis than it is.

[jarileigh]

@IntertekTester So people aren't starving in Africa?

[urbanwamp]

@JohnGoneYokoLoco Seriously? I hope you have an accident with a steamroller and become the texture of strawberry jam on the pavement.

[81kogut]

Najlepsza Band Aid inne się chowają

[SunriseViewer]

@JohnGoneYokoLoco Sure? I'm German and I've never heard it. (And yes, that is sarcasm).

[SunriseViewer]

@JohnGoneYokoLoco Well, the rest still holds true. It's not proper to make fun of the Holocaust ...

[SunriseViewer]

@JohnGoneYokoLoco Seriously, how can you say something like that? Is that funny to you? Do you know that it is illegal to make fun of the Holocaust?

[jessa121890]

@JohnGoneYokoLoco you are a wretched human being. What an asshole.

[manamana1291]

@JohnGoneYokoLoco part of my family died during the IIWW, do you think its funny?

[TheosHits]

GREAT !!!

[manamana1291]

sting was soo handsome:D

[claptoned0]

Now it's: "do they know it's charia"

[3227822grff]

[TheMasterMeow]

@3227822grff No, he just performed at the Live Aid concert

[HoffmanSan]

Let them know is Christmas time.... outrages

[Bobbyk3874]

[ClassicMintSauce]

[b3astiemaninLA]

Bono looks like a white smudge...

[hofifut]

Who's the dude in the blue shirt @ 1:46 and 3:32?

[MadBuffalo100]

@hofifut ''Jon Moss (Culture Club)''

[hofifut]

@MadBuffalo100

Thanks. The power of the internet... In the olden days, I'd have to have shown this video, which would have to have been recorded on VHS, to a number of people until finally someone knew the answer. But then again, I probably would have been more productive back then as well.

[2submit]

@hofifut member of theculture club ... with boy gorge

[sharig97]

Aww Andy Taylor is adorable

[bonnequa]

[Shadowie67]

[northlanderdude]

[jessa121890]

@northlanderdude Geldof and Midge

[northlanderdude]

@jessa121890 oh, I thought they just organized the singer get together.

[Fedaykin24]

the first is still the best made only more moving by the fact that on the day nobody knew who was going to turn up at the studio!

[hotmn4u]

who cares, grow up

[Eidotterer]

so many good voices at once...thats unique...and unfotunately there's nothin more to come from the younger generation....sad

[natasjavelde]

Best song EVER! <3

[thetrueGreenCOLA]

[fegrad0]

2:55 HA!

[LiLBilible]

[doomserpent]

Best version of this song. This years version is lame and toneless, and isn't catchy at all.
