Do They Know It's Christmas? (was: New Christmas song!)

[Well, Well, Well]

LOL

I LOVED this video. It perfectly satirizes everything that was so creepy about the original - all those rich rock stars pretending to care about starving kids, Bono screaming "Tonight thank God it's them instead of you" straight from his genitals, and Sting looking like he'd rather be ANYWHERE else. Patton leaving hurriedly, Brian scaring Scott with his metal voice, and the stupid rap lyrics are among the highlights.

Weird Al just had a cameo? You've got to be kidding me!

The video sucked anyway.

Um, WSD is the epitome of a Christmas song, musically speaking. That was the point, was it not?

[TMBJon]

Yes. Not sure what the confusion is about. It's clearly a style parody of Christmas carol songs, and the video is a style parody of those claymation Frosty/Rudolph videos.

Plus, on the Lynwood AL-TV special, Al mentioned how angry it made him that everyone is so P.C. that they say "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Weasel Stomping Day."

Weasel Stomping Day is a funny Christmas song without the Christmas. Interpret that as you will.
