Nice. Never can remember who does the background song... Anyone here care to refresh my sloppy mind?

Umm... it's in the post's title (starts with a "B").

Didn't know Band Aid was a Band. My bad. And my embarassment.

S'alrite. It's also a dandy adhesive bandage (if you add a dash and registered trademark-type mark), so I can understand the confusion.

Happy Holidays everyone who sees this.

Perhaps I won't embarassment myself with this question, but during this ad, what is being shown on the TV in the bottom left of the screen.

I believe the tiny TV is showing the original video. I can just make out Simon LeBon's hair!

Band Aid was organized by Bob Geldof in 1984 to raise money for anti-famine relief in Ethopia; the list of artists included Sting, the late George Michael, Bono, Duran Duran and Boy George, to name a few. "Do They Know It's Christmas?" is an 80's classic, and remains one of my favorite holiday songs.

My favorite holiday song is "Det är inte snön som faller" by Anders F Rönnblom - lol. The animation was on TV *once* in Sweden and everyone who saw it can sing the lyrics by heart, it was so strange and mesmerizing and the animation connects to the lyrics.

The only reason I hate the Band-Aid song is that it was played constantly on the two state-owned TV channels and the only three radio channels in Sweden that year, and to top it off my dad bought the album and put it on often. In short, I overdosed on it. :))
