      People call for 'ignorant' Do They Know It's Christmas? to be pulled from the air

      People call for 'ignorant' Do They Know It's Christmas? to be pulled from the air

      The 1984 Band Aid hit Do They Know It's Christmas? has been slammed for its 'ignorant' lyrics, with some calling on it to be pulled from the air

      It’s better than Snoopys Christmas or Fairytail of New York to be fair

            Don't care. I like the song. It takes me back to that magical feeling of Christmas and war that I felt as a wee boy. Feelings that probably only lasted a few short years.

              A-hem, I confess to making up a spoof newspaper clipping to use up time while Mrs M was watching Strictly Come Dancing..

              Mind you, it is crazy enough to be true...

                You made that up? I thought you were too old to know how to do that on a computer. I obviously underestimated you!

                    It is a good song. Actually the first "new" Christmas pop song I can remember. Pretty much unknown here in the UK for some reason.

                        Last Christmas by Wham is the undisputed Xmas masterpiece.

                                  Don't care. I like the song. It takes me back to that magical feeling of Christmas and war that I felt as a wee boy. Feelings that probably only lasted a few short years.

                                  My parents still have the 45 and God it's good.

                                  It is a good song. Actually the first "new" Christmas pop song I can remember. Pretty much unknown here in the UK for some reason.

                                  They don't seem to know it in Aussie either. Or at the least the people I have asked don't.

                                    It’s better than Snoopys Christmas or Fairytail of New York to be fair

                                    Wash your mouth out. Nothing is better than Snoopy's Christmas.

                                      They don't seem to know it in Aussie either. Or at the least the people I have asked don't.

                                      I can confirm this.

                                      Bloke who ran Whamageddon at work added some obscure song I had never heard of about an ex-con cooking a roast as an additional elimination element.

                                      I suggested adding Snoopy.

                                      Guy was dumbfounded and looked at me weird.

                                      Wiki says:

                                      "Snoopy's Christmas" reached the No. 1 position in the New Zealand and Australia[4] singles charts in 1967, and remains a popular Christmas song in those countries. The song was the fastest-selling single at the time it was originally released and is estimated to be the biggest selling overseas single sold in New Zealand in the 20th century.[5] The song frequently reenters the New Zealand singles chart, charting in December 1987, 1988, 1989, and 2013.[6] "Snoopy's Christmas" was also voted "the worst Christmas song of all time" by readers of the New Zealand Herald in 2007.[7]

                                      Elsewhere I read it was only a hit in their home US State (which I can't remember) and NZ. Aussies obviously forgot after the first release.

                                      (Same guy, in his 40s I'd venture, had similarly never heard of 'Does Your Chewing Gum Lose It's Flavour', or ' I'm Henery The Eighth, I Am'.)

                                                Terrible post.

                                                Hot and annoying will always be more tolerable than fuck ugly and annoying

                                                No mate, she’s a fucking horrible woman. Just listen to those lyrics; “I don’t want a lot for Christmas, all I want is you”. She’s fucking telling her bloke he’s worthless. Complete bitch.

                                                  "Snoopy's Christmas" was also voted "the worst Christmas song of all time" by readers of the New Zealand Herald in 2007.[7]

                                                  The herald readers know their music

                                                  They've obviously never heard Cliff Richard and "Mistletoe and Wine"....

                                                  You’re all wrong.

                                                  Carey, Mariah.

                                                  Song: ANY

                                                  Terrible post.

                                                  Worthless but still gets to nail Mariah Carey.

                                                  I think he can cope with that put down.

                                                    People call for 'ignorant' Do They Know It's Christmas? to be pulled from the air

                                                    People call for 'ignorant' Do They Know It's Christmas? to be pulled from the air

                                                    The 1984 Band Aid hit Do They Know It's Christmas? has been slammed for its 'ignorant' lyrics, with some calling on it to be pulled from the air

                                                    It’s better than Snoopys Christmas or Fairytail of New York to be fair

                                                    Wash your mouth out. Nothing is better than Snoopy's Christmas.

                                                    90d1444a-0d92-40c5-82af-6c11922639a8-image.png

                                                    Don't care. I like the song. It takes me back to that magical feeling of Christmas and war that I felt as a wee boy. Feelings that probably only lasted a few short years.

                                                    My parents still have the 45 and God it's good.

                                                    It is a good song. Actually the first "new" Christmas pop song I can remember. Pretty much unknown here in the UK for some reason.

                                                    They don't seem to know it in Aussie either. Or at the least the people I have asked don't.

                                                    I can confirm this.

                                                    Bloke who ran Whamageddon at work added some obscure song I had never heard of about an ex-con cooking a roast as an additional elimination element.

                                                    I suggested adding Snoopy.

                                                    Guy was dumbfounded and looked at me weird.

                                                    Wiki says:

                                                    "Snoopy's Christmas" reached the No. 1 position in the New Zealand and Australia[4] singles charts in 1967, and remains a popular Christmas song in those countries. The song was the fastest-selling single at the time it was originally released and is estimated to be the biggest selling overseas single sold in New Zealand in the 20th century.[5] The song frequently reenters the New Zealand singles chart, charting in December 1987, 1988, 1989, and 2013.[6] "Snoopy's Christmas" was also voted "the worst Christmas song of all time" by readers of the New Zealand Herald in 2007.[7]

                                                    Elsewhere I read it was only a hit in their home US State (which I can't remember) and NZ. Aussies obviously forgot after the first release.

                                                    (Same guy, in his 40s I'd venture, had similarly never heard of 'Does Your Chewing Gum Lose It's Flavour', or ' I'm Henery The Eighth, I Am'.)

                                                    Until this thread, I had never heard it.

                                                      The same for me and a real disappointment finding that it is simply a pastiche of their great hit Snoopy vs The Red Baron. Classics like that should be left alone.

                                                        they also had The Return of The Red Baron, Snoopy for President and Snoopy vs Osama

                                                        Red Bull chose their 'hit' Airplane as the theme song for the Flugtag series

                                                        all of which were shit

                                                        Not as shit as Grandma got run over by a Reindeer or Sanat Baby but for me the hatiest of all is

                                                        and it brings the thread back on topic. PC for beginners
