Band Aid - Do They Know It's Christmas?

Okay, I suppose I should recognize the season. I can remember when this song was released in 1984. This was the era of the MTV rock star, so it was a big deal to see British and Irish rockers like Bono with Boy George (seen him lately?) with Sting and on the list goes. I am sure that this socially conscious song raised awareness to the famine in Ethiopia, but isn't it deeply ironic that the question being put forth is one that is irrelevant to the majority of the population on Earth? But all is forgiven because they invited all of Bananarama.
