We Are the World or Do They Know It's Christmas?

[LMP]

Which music megastar-loaded song do you prefer?

The UK Christmas classic?
or Allstar American song for Africa?

I like Do They Know... because of my homies Simon LeBon and Bono of course with the best line

"Well tonight thank god it's them
instead of you..."

 

[HelloAngel]

Definitely "Do They Know It's Christmas?"

 

[corianderstem]

Do They Know It's Christmas, by a country mile.

Although I have a cheesy spot in my heart reserved for We Are the World.

 

[beau2ifulday]

Band Aid, for sure.

Do They Know It's Christmas.

 

[Bono's shades]

To be honest, I think they are both a little cheesy - yet I have a sentimental attachment to both of them.

I'm not sure which one I like best.

 

[BluRmGrl]

Do They Know it's Christmas

 

[MsMofoGone]

I'd say for me both songs are pretty classic ...

Do They Know It's Christmas ... Bono and Sting

We Are The World ... Steve Perry and The Boss

 

[Carek1230]

Ssssteve Perrrryyy

 

[U2doggie]

Definitely Do They Know....

Do The Know? By a mile

 

[LMP]

We Are the World is the only song where you can combine the talents of

Cyndi Lauper, Bob Dylan, Huey Lewis, and Dan Aykroyd

and that's no lie

 

[Total U2 Nut]

It may be no lie, but Do They Know is an 100% better song - I saw the video for it on Vh1Classic earlier, Bono looks hilarious with his mullet - Actually, going off the subject, in the rock 'n roll misc. book in Q this month, Bono's mullet has been rated one of the worst hair cuts of all time!

 

[BonosSaint]

Am I a minority of one who thought both songs sucked?

haha, I agree

but out of the Mullets of the '80s, it was the best one

marry me

 

[Zoots]

I agree with that person that said both are kinda cheesy. I'm partial towards Do They Know, though! Grew up watching young Bono in that video, after all.

But... do they know it's christmas time in Africa??? Gimme a break, you think they give a shit? They're looking for food and shelter from day to day!

The best of the worst mullets methinks
