Band Aid was a British and Irish charity supergroup, founded in 1984 by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure to raise money for famine relief in Ethiopia by releasing the record "Do They Know It's Christmas?" for the Christmas market that year. The single surpassed the hopes of the producers to become the Christmas number one on that release. The record was released on November 29, 1984, and went straight to No. 1 in the UK singles chart, outselling all the other records in the chart put together. It became the fastest- selling single of all time in the UK, selling a million copies in the first week alone. It stayed at No. 1 for five weeks, selling over three million copies and becoming easily the biggest-selling single of all time in the UK. Song Lyrics: It's Christmas time There's 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 it's hard But when you're having fun There's a world outside your window And it's 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 it's them instead of you And there won't be snow in Africa This Christmas time The greatest gift they'll get this year is life Where nothing ever grows No rain nor rivers flow Do they know it's Christmas time at ...

@RICH12DAY34 And another thing, where’d you get “dopey ass”? is it because you are on so much drugs? you play with yourself and get satisfaction out of it. What the fuck do you mean by Daddy boy? I don’t even want to know, your only 5 so don’t start arguing again. Stop spending all your time and life on YouTube trolling people and being a pedophile. Nobody likes your crap that you say, nobody likes your corny jokes. You aren’t a tough guy on anything. And stop responding to comments 3 weeks old.
@RICH12DAY34 Dear fucking annoying doushbag that won’t stop responding back, NOBODY knows what the hell a “knobgobbler” is. Who said I believe in the invisible man? you must be high or something, you should go find someone who actually cares and then you can tell them your bad jokes. You wouldn’t even know when I “was around” so stop trying friggin pervert, and nobody says “gay hole” so shut the hell up already. My mom beat the shit out of you last night, she isn’t a whore like your mom.
@TheInvincible1997 Dear typing tough guy…..hahahahahahahaha…you knobgobbler….you believe in the invisible man. You were not even around when the song was made so shut your gay hole!
Your Mom should have swallowed that night she did our whole football team…..Now we have your dopey ass….I might be your daddy BOY!!!!
I think the message at the end is especially poignant…..it really shows the effort of amazing human beings (both famous and not) behind this piece of music (and, i just have to say this, bono’s shoulder wriggle at about 1:21 is so adorable!)
I like it more than ” we are the world ” .

“We’ll tonight thank god it’s them, instead of you.”
Tthat do nothing are essentially saying that as long as it’s not my baby dying in my arms and i’m not carrying my dead baby out of a hospital in a cardboard box are saying that.
No matter how bad things are financially for you, there’s people out there much worse off.
ALWAYS GIVE TO CHARITY, IT COULD BE YOU ON THE STREETS CLINGING ON TO SANITY!!!
