Do they know it's Christmas-time at all

[mickeym]

Time for holiday nostalgia, y'all :)

For those of you who weren't coming of age when dinosaurs roamed the earth back in the 80's, this was the first "help the starving people" efforts done by the pop community. Band-Aid included members of Duran Duran, the Police, Bananarama, Boomtown Rats, Big Country, Culture Club, and way too many more to list (or remember). This single and the accompanying video were released in 1984; I remember watching the video when it was premiered on MTV (back when they showed music videos *g*).

If you want to dl the video, it's here: Do They Know It's Christmas - .mpg file, ~42MB

Here's the mp3: Do They Know It's Christmas - .mp3, ~6MB

Hope you enjoy them :)

Well, I'm old enough to remember listening to it on tv as it happened. Still gives me goose bumps and a good feeling. Thanks for sharing that.
