delboy Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 there's been some stinkers over the years but 'we are the world' by USA for Africa gets my vote for all round 100% pure unadulterated shiteness.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marillionboy Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 I think easily its either Band Aid 2 or Doctor' In Distress. Actually Doctor' In Distress is without question the worst record ever!I remember on the 100 Worst Songs Tiffany was bemused as to why Band Aid 2 was on there, and someone chipped in that by 1989 everyone in Ethiopia probably knew it was Christmas, but not many people knew who the hell some of the people on that record were.

delboy Posted September 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 band aid 2 was pretty dire, whatever did happen to big fun? thing about band aid 2 it was just an obvious advert for PWL. and cliff hanging out with all the pop kids was just plain embarrasing.

Marillionboy Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 For my money though the most dispicable case of bandwagoning was Phil Collins' story about Cher at Live Aid. She was on the same Concorde as him as he flew over to the US and she thought all the journalists were on the plane for her so she rushed off to put her wig on in the toilets. When she realised they weren't she asked Collins what was going on. He said it was Live AId. She had no idea what Live AId or the famine problem was. This is ON THE DAY OF THE CONCERT."I'd love to be involved" she said.After Collins had done his set he was asked to sing a verse of We Are the World at the end with all the other main contributors but said he'd probably screw it up so declined. He went back to his hotel and watched, only to see Cher at the front of the stage taking a bow and singing. A couple of hours earlier she hadn't even heard of a famine in Africa.

Volta Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 I just watched a bit of live aid. The good one that is, 1985. David Bowie was immense. Maybe even out-shone Queen who he had to follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Jack Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 The effort by this deluded twat takes some beating -http://www.telegraph.co.uk/arts/main.jhtml?xml=/arts/2005/07/19/bmneil19.xmlDaily Telegraph journalist was so upset by the London bombings that he wrote a song about it to raise money - "People I don't know are trying to kill me" - sold a grand total of 8 copies apparently...

Stripey Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 In his first talk with a reporter since the end of his criminal trial, pop superstarMichael Jackson said Saturday he is "moving full speed ahead" on plans to record a song for the benefit of Hurricane Katrina victims and feels that his creative juices are flowing again.http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20050917/ap_en_mu/michael_jacksonObviously I haven't heard it yet, but I already feel sick just thinking about it.

Guest DustyDeviada Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 Sorry, but by far the worst charity record ever is "Voices That Care", just the biggest cheesfest you can ever imagine, even worse than We Are The World.Details here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0332494/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
