Nice song, albeit with a bizarre lyric which to me didnt really suit what the cause was about.

Ray Charles owns it. Dylan's piece was really good too.

Jeez, make me feel old, why don't you, Egon.

and gazza, YES thank you, the fucking song has nothing to do with the subject at hand. "Do They Know It's Christmas" is the much better song. "We Are the World" is comedy and/or Reagan-era American exceptionalism disguised as empathy.

I remember my uncle having this album, but I only remember the "We Are The World" song. I haven't heard it in a good while and that is a good thing. I cringed the last time I heard it. Some bits of the song is okay, but a lot of it...UGH!
