Jokers destroy Band Aid recordings
I find it sicker that people in this country would even buy this naff song , even worse is the fact that all the money goes to another country where we have homeless and poor people too.
To be fair it does not sound like they are taking the mick, just sounds like a bad karaoke version someones recorded!!

To be honest, I didn't find it sick, although you haven't posted the context in which you found the link. To me, it just sounds like a group of terrible singers singing a Band Aid song. If, however, they were releasing their version as a 'novelty record' and not giving the proceeds to the Band Aid charity, then yes, that would be a bit off.
However, if it's just a bit of fun that's never going to see the pop chart, then I don't see what the problem is. It's hardly taking the food out of the mouths of starving children.
And I hate to tell you, but 'Do They Know It's Christmas' is a terrible song anyway, and the only reason people buy it is because it's for charity. I know I'm making a sweeping generalisation, but I have not met one person who has bought it and listened to it.
Anyway, I'm digressing. Personally, I find the link amusing, if not a little painful to listen to. It's not offensive to me at all. Sorry if that wasn't the reaction you were looking for, although I did wonder for a minute if you were pulling our legs by appearing so outraged at such a superficial thing as a 'joke' recording of a song.
