Dizzee Rascal and Justin Hawkins side by side.

Bono making the Bono bit sound dead pansy.

Sugababes in 3 part harmony right after Chris Martin and Dido sang weedy bits.

Will F***ing Young.

The Darkness doing guitars in place of the 'Z-cars' synth riff.

*shudder*

i like this idea...

grrr ... do they know its f%^cking christmas ... taryn_vee November 16 2004, 01:06:51 UTC

that song just does my head in ...

it failed when they remade it the first time...

what makes them think it will work now?
... and i am so out of the popular music scene that i recognise but a few of them anyway!

website idea ++ we can take movies of ways to kill the cd's with ppls ideas being done... all money to charity ....

Re: grrr ... do they know its f%^cking christmas ... greeba November 16 2004, 04:46:51 UTC

Right, we set up BandAidDilemma.net.

"You want to give to the cause. You also want not to hear this record. Solution: Deprive the listening public by buying as many copies as you feel you can afford, destroying them on camera in as amusing a manner as possible and sending us the footage/ photos to display and bolster our campaign. If you appreciate the content of this site, click 'here' to donate, all proceeds to Band Aid 20" etc etc.

Secondary campaign:

"Do not download Band Aid 20 illegally. To do so is depriving the charity of proceeds and is thus more morally dubious than any other downloading you may partake of. Even worse, it means that you may be spreading the opportunity to listen to this stinking piece of shit. Buy the single, as many copies as you can, and destroy them..."

Tertiary campain: Name this thieving bastard.

cant wait to see the web page...

you got the url sorted?? when will it be live?

Whoa there Neddy greeba November 16 2004, 04:58:18 UTC

That was a suggestion, not an announcement! Although as this has already gestated to this level over one breakfast and one lunch, I'm sure we can come up with something. I'll register and pay for a suitable period on the domain, see if Scott P will cough the web space (that'll teach him to ring me on a Saturday morning) and try writing a page. It prettymuch just needs an 'About' page, a page ripping into the record, links to where to buy it and donate, a safety and non-association disclaimer and an editable gallery of movies and snaps, which I can build using free software. Of course, any webbies that wish to contribute and thus advertise their skills would be appreciated *cough*

I'm making this thread public in order to build interest.

guess thats the one good thing about living in france... no annoying xmas singles

landvaettir November 16 2004, 03:21:51 UTC

You forgot the rap interlude. *shudder* I heard it on the radio this morning and came in geared up to make a post denouncing it - but you beat me to it.
I don't get how Bono is singing the same part and managing to sound shit.

taryn_vee November 16 2004, 03:41:55 UTC

wasnt he supposed to sing a different line this time?

greeba November 16 2004, 04:48:51 UTC

He was just explaining to Jo Whiley, he'd have liked to but the producer and the tide of opinion forced him into doing the same bit again.

devi_ November 16 2004, 08:21:33 UTC

though according to the papers he had a hissy fit and insisted on singing 'his' line. badly. then him and justin hawkins had a scrap over it. kind of.

sounds like a right shambles of an idea, there's too many egos in there compared to the first time around. i have managed to avoid hearing it so far :)
