Do They Know It's Christmas
Still love this song. I distinctly remember the Christmas Eve of my 8th grade year sitting in my room playing my tape of this song over and over and crying that the people in Africa wouldn't have a Christmas. The hormones were flowing and the teenage angst was on high.
Now, I have to wonder...Do they know it's Christmas?? I mean seriously. How much of the population of Africa is Christian? I could be wrong but the Africa I see on tv doesn't have mega malls and mass marketing.
In all seriousness, I do understand that the minds that put this together were trying to remind us that we are a blessed people and that a little selflessness can do a lot of good. I love the unity of this song. Enjoy!
(ps - did anyone else notice that someone is smoking at about 3:01? Boy, how times have changed!! lol)

I enjoy that song as well. The video made me snort smoothie out my nose. The mullets, the perms, the dark eyeliner, the trenchcoats, the pink hair. ROFL.
rofl!
thanks for that
I love that song and was blissfully unaware at how old it was. Oh the memories of the hair and clothes, hehehehe.
Remember my rant about this song last year? Of course there won't be snow in Africa! It's freaking summer there! Duh!
Merry Christmas, Clainey!

Oh I the memories! I knew pretty much every singer...is the sad? Too much time on my hands in the 80s.
I hope your Christmas was blissful and very merry!
Happy new year!
