Advent song for December 7: Do They Know It’s Christmas?

On By Laura MorganIn Christmas, Music

I forgot to do a song yesterday, but that’s OK because this one was a hit twice in the 1980s, and the comparative awfulness of the 1989 version is these days far outweighed by the actual awfulness of lyrics like:

There won’t be snow in Africa this Christmastime

and

Wher

Where nothing ever grows, no rain or rivers flow

I mean, they’re just lucky it’s such a banger.
