Who said that Irony was lost on Americans?!

Oh yea, oh yea! Perhaps those so talented need to read the forum once in a while!

Clever wording. It doesn’t actually say any idea will be implement - only on the lookout. But, it appears that getting notes is appreciated, and size isn’t important to them. That’s good, because I think a huge number of people make a gargantan deal about size.

What is band aid 20??

20 years ago, Bob Geldof organised a group of (mainly) UK artist to donate their time and record a single called "Do they know its Christmas". With all proceeds going to famine relief in Africa via the Band Aid Trust.

In 1984, 3.5 million Band Aid records were sold in the UK alone, raising millions to help starving people in Africa.

Band Aid 20 is the newest version just being released, 20 years on from the original and is tipped to be a Christmas No.1, in Australia and the UK anyways.

Everybody on my Christmas list will be getting a copy of the CD

I just think its a very just cause.

I'll have to look into it. I wondered what your avatar said!

I did have the good ole cassette back for the original release, and will support the cause this time.

Of course, they got my attention this time by having Robbie Williams singing

Tyler has a good deal of UNICEF merchandise, which is promoted by Robbie.

That album sounds like it would probably be worth checking out. Last week I got a copy of The Bubba Claus Country Christmas Album at Walmart. It's hilarious.

Here comes Bubba Claus, here comes Bubba Claus,
through the trailer park.
Vixen and Blitzen and all them reindeer
best be gone by dark....

There's nothing like a little Christmas music to get a person in the Christmas spirit.

Of course, I think Lexie would probably still prefer Robbie Williams.

Unless the alternative can compete......

With all due respect (and I'm treading VERY carefully here!), in that photo RW looks like he's modelling a bra!

This either says something about him or something about me.

Does he sing anything I've heard of? I can't place him.

I guess you're either in USA or over 70

Robbie has never quite made it in the USA - he was in Take That (who?) and is quite a 'hit' in the UK.

GG is over 70 or in USA He's just been living under a rock for alot of years.

Sadly, I remember the ole Take That days.

At least you left a very good download, only problem is, alot of the Americans believe that bimbo Jessica Simpson wrote that song, as she totally bastardised it recently!!

GG - If Robbie wants to model bra's...thats quite OK with me

I am sure if you listen to ANY radio station you would know nearly his whole last CD. He also does some very good Swing covers - even Rick will vouch for that.

GG, lol, you didn't tread lightly enough...join the over 70 club! LMAO!!

It's not the former.

Mrs. M., it is a bit hard to tread lightly in size 9 steelcapped Blundstones, but I tried.

I neither confirm nor deny the over-70 swipe, and Lexie knows I don't live in the USA, so I reckon I'll just have to put my hand up for living under a rock......a Hard Rock!

GG,I know about the heavy metal, but I think it was intended to build with, not bang on!

I think it's more a case that Americans see it when it doesn't exist, which may be saying the same thing as appears in the quote.
