Band Aid are ripping us off
Posted in Old blogger by Twenty Major on November 16th, 2004
You can’t help but have noticed that the Band Aid song ‘Do they know it’s Christmas?’ was re-recorded over the weekend with modern pop stars. And Bono.
Can’t help but thinking it’s a bit of a rip-off. It’s the exact same song, just sung by bigger cunts than 20 years ago. You don’t need me to tell you that Sting, Spandau Ballet and Paul Weller are absolute cock-knockers of the highest order, but was there any need to replace them with The Darkness (I’d love to show them darkness and lock them in a dungeon for a 100 years the screechy wankers), Coldplay bloke (who you just know is going to release a book of baby poetry or something) and Damon fucking cunting wanking shitbag pissface snoteating bastardneck Albarn?
No, I don’t think there was any need. A bit of PR, a re-release of the old single and everyone would be happy. It’s all well and good for Bob Geldof and Marge Ure to tell us to ‘BUY DA FOCKIN’ RECORD’ as they sit in their mansions with their butlers and foot masseuses and Indonesian love slaves. We already bought the ‘FOCKIN’ RECORD’ 20 years ago.
If you want me to buy a new ‘FOCKIN’ RECORD’ might I suggest you ‘WRITE A NEW FOCKIN’ SONG’.
Anyway, the saddest thing of all is that all these people were in the one place and nobody had any semtex lying around. Truly a missed opportunity.

It could have been far, far worse. Kate Moss wanted in.

Hey, at least the wankers of ‘84 were Jin U Wine stars (Star Spangled Wankers, if you will). This current batch have the va va voom of a paper bag full of damp bread. The thin sliced stuff. From Pat the Baker.
Keep up the excellent work, 20, keeping the web safe for sensible thinkers.

They weren’t all in the one place at the one time. Robbie “I’m a Cunt, me” Williams did his lines at a separate recording session. Blow that lot up and he’d have got a chance to protect himself more, making it more difficult to nailbomb the bastard.

Look, the song was shite the first time, and it’s shite now, only in a different way. Same song, different twats singing it. And it’s getting rammed down our throats AGAIN. I want to emigrate!

The original band aid had good success in actually directing the money raised to the people they said would get it - check out the independent audits. There is no reason to believe this one will be any different given that the same people are involved.
How is it a rip-off, idiot ? You’re donating to a verifiable charity, by purchasing a record.
