Band Aid

[lazy_arse]

I've just heard the band aid song for the first time and quite suprisingly I actually quite like it. The Dizzee Rascal parts are probably the best because they add something different to the song. I'll probably go and buy it as a xmas present for one of my parents.

What do you guys think of it?

Its alrite, although the music side of things aren't all that great, sounds a bit dull, sounds less 'group' like aswell, the good thing about the last one was that they were all together jamming, this time it sounds too edited.

Not to try and stop people buying it though, its for a good cause.

The Dizzee Rascal bit was awesome, despite how much the rest of the song sucks I'll still buy it. I'm only really interested in the Thrills, Dizzee, Estelle, McCartney and Geldof - Busted, the Darkness, the Sugababes etc can fuck off.

[TMM]

I haven't heard it for the fact I don't listen to the radio all that much. Is there anywhere I can listen to it online? I'm talking about legally by the way!

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Haven't heard it yet but I'm looking forward to it. Isn't Chris Martin singing in it? If so then I'll certainly be buying it justfor his voice. Looking forward to hearing anything from Justin Hawkins too.

[Cactus Drags]

It's a nice idea, but wouldn't it have been better to do a different song? I've not heard this yet, by the way. I can't believe people are using the name Dizee Rascal and positive adjectives in the same sentence, though.

Joss Stone had never heard of Bob Geldof before doing this, and reffered to him as Bob Gandalf.

That's if you believe the sun.

I prefer the original. The way they sing "World" on this version just sounds wrong.

[Dan]

I heard it, didn't sound too bad. My parent's dont like t, but that's because they dont like anything that isn't as good as an original.

Joss Stone comes from some shitty village by my city, shes so friendly on TV, but shes a complete bitch, and theres no way that she knows that black woman on her video 'You Had Me'.

Joss: Um, Hello, Can I come over?

Friend: WHASSUP NIGGA, YEA SURE!

Amazingly talented lyricists/producers don't deserve positive adjectives?

Clearly, I don't like what he says or how I says it, sorry.

[Guest Pirate Chasin' Booty]

I usually like Dizzee Rascal, well a few songs anyway, but that Dream thing he's just released is possibly the worst record of all time, he has the talent to be a Busta Rhymes of the UK, but sometimes he pushes his luck alittle too far with some incredibly terrible songs.

She's from devon, but she lived on ameerica the past few years with her boyfriend or something.

[Guest Pirate Chasin' Booty]

Her record deal is actually in America, so shes been there on and off for about 2 years, accents don't change that easily though, unless you want them to, shes just trying to sound 'hip', but shes slowly getting a Kelly Osbourne accent, which is disgusting.

Saying that, the Devon accent is the spoken form of ass, luckily I have a wiltshire accent, which is completely different ¬.¬

i think the "do they even know it's christmas?" line makes Africa look stupid

maybe that's just me

..not saying Africa IS stupid..

Like his music or not, you surely can't deny the talent weighted in his words - instead of rapping about money, girls etc he conveys something darker, a touch more real. He's like the Phillip Larkin of rap.

Has anyone got the Live Aid dvd? I'm considering picking it up for the Queen set which I heard was awesome.

From Brand New Day:

Looks like I'm losing mates,

There's a lot of hostility near my gates.

We used to fight with kids from other estates,

Now 8mm settle debates.

From Get By:

We grew up in the ghetto, saw real life pain.

Real life struggle with real life strain.

Real life kiddies with real life guns

and real life mothers lose real life sons.

From Showtime:

This was clearly a positive sign,

Learning 'bout beats, breaks and bars.

Didn't chat about champagne and cars,

More concerned with, you know, the grime.

Made it a touch difficult to shine,

Among these so called called underground stars,

Some resented him, thus presenting him with pure dumbness like retards.

There, the good more than outweights the bad.

Why, it rhymes?

He's not say anything new or innovative.

Anyway, this is about Band Aid. Fults, think the Do they know it's christmas line is more in reference that they have the same sturggles i.e. hunger, poverty, regardless of the time period. They don't know it';s Christmas because they can't celebrate it.
