Wasn't this a skit on SNL a long time ago?

They left out Sailing from Rock Against Repatriation.

Any list that forgets Superbowl Shuffle AND WrestleRock Rumble is insta-fail...or double-win.

I'm confused.

/watching Inland Empire certainly doesn't help matters there.

I'm a musician/songwriter who is for free-range chickens. Why? Guilt-free chicken! Hell yeah!

FTA: Ethiopia, a country that's more than 50 percent Christian, probably doesn't need to be schooled about Christmas by Boy George, Lisa Stansfield, and whoever the hell Sugababes are.

Hmmm, seems like the author has been living under a rock the past ten years or so - Sugababes are one of the few pop acts to cross over to a mainstream audience

Any song that brings Run DMC and Whodini together with New Edition and Ricky Martin-era Menudo can't be all bad.

Whodini is in my all time top five band names.

Everyone forgets this one (new window).

EVERYONE!

/self-destruction... you headed for self-destruction

No "We are the World"...

"We are The Children"??

fark DMX and his posse.

I can't stand U2 or Green Day, but liked the Saints Come Marching Video. Guess that makes me totally uncool..

Come on, at least "Stars" had David and Derek from Spinal Tap.
And "Sun City" is a good tune, if only for Lou Reed's performance.

I remember when the Sun City video was big on MTV. I always thought it was the most well written of the cause songs.

What, no "We're Sending Our Love Down the Well"? Incomplete list, I say.

Set the chickens free!!

Faux Shizzle: What, no "We're Sending Our Love Down the Well"? Incomplete list, I say.

I came here for the reference and wasn't disappointed.

Yes

Yes it does.

"guilt-free" is one of the most annoying phrases ever. if you have some sort of guilt about eating animals, then don't eat them. but don't imply that i should feel guilty for eating them (or at least some of them).

nothing against you personally but the phrase sets me off.

"I'm farking Ben Affleck" not on the list?


But seriously, weren't profits from this one donated to anti-apartheid efforts?

Dang, I missed the "overblown" part of the formula, so scratch that last one.

On the other hand, who could not be moved by Culturcide's "They're Not The World"?

The last two are hilarious. Well, the second to last one is more like scare-larious, but still amusing.

We're All in the Same Gang was a great song. what was hilarious is how Dr Dre produced it and then released The Chronic a couple years later which was basically a tribute to black-on-black crime.

"Hey let's make a song about making peace!"
"Yeah, good idea!"
"Cool, now that that's done, let's go make some songs about killing everybody who looks at us funny"
"Makes perfect sense to me!"

If there is a part of your life that sucks so bad that a bunch of celebrities have to sing about it, then the rest of your life probably isn't worth living either.

No "Hands Across America?"

I fully agree. Starving children in Africa should just do the rest of the world a favor and kill themselves. Bunch of selfish little bastards...

oh come on... Stars???!?!? i was a metal head back when that came out and even i thought it was lame.

I wonder how many Hear N' Aid artists actually have hearing aids now.

Courtney Cox-Zucker: No "Hands Across America?"

That was genuinely forgettable. Why were we all supposed to hold hands again??

I have nothing against eating animals either, I think it's just fair to at least let them live a little first, rather than bringing them up as a resource, locking them in cages and all that. It's not hard to let a chicken run around a bit, is it?

/how the hell did a thread about charity singalongs turn into a discussion on free-range chicken?
//damn sometimes I love fark

So, basically ALL of the well known charity songs.

it is when you look at the reality of commerical chicken farms. when i was a young lad i lived on a farm (for 2 years i boarded there) and we had free range chicken. we didn't even have a fence around their house or anything. we had everything else penned to different areas so we saw no use to lock them up. but i mean we had maybe 30 chickens just for ourselves. it wasn't like we were selling chicken to a large section of the population. besides who the fark cares if they get to run around before they die? i say that in all honesty and not to just be a prick. when i eat my food i go, " mmm...tasty". i never go "wow i wonder if he got enough excercise?". i even worked in a slaughter house for a while.

though i will freely admit that i'm an asshole. so live and let die ... just don't expect me to feel guilty is all.

Greta_VanHouten: That was genuinely forgettable. Why were we all supposed to hold hands again??

I think it had something to do with transmitting hepatitis from NYC to Los Angeles.

That looks like the junior high dance committee got all political on the dance theme.

Okay, maybe I wasn't paying attention in class, but what the hell was that last "Special Bonus Track"?

That may either be the best or worst thing in the history of everything.

I was a metal head back then and didn't even know it existed (and didn't listen to most of those bands anyway... Y&T?! Ruff Cuts?! Come on...)
