#BandAid30 - Band Aid, Band Aid 20 and the embarrassing Band Aid 2

Bob & Midge have announced today plans for the 4th version of Do They Know It's Christmas, Band Aid 30, to raise funds to fight ebola.

Yes, 4th version - this is the 1st, which featured no female singers in the lead parts, a slowed down drum sample from Tears For Fears "The Hurting", Paul Young singing the line intended for David Bowie, Phil Collins on the drums, Duran Duran's John Taylor on bass, Paul Weller on guitar and Status Quo providing the showbiz sherbet.

This is Band Aid 20, the 3rd version, featuring Thom Yorke on the piano, Danny from Supergrass on Drums, Paul McCartney on bass, Fran Healy and Charlie from Busted on rhythm guitar, The Darkness on lead guitar, Dizzie Rascal's rap, Bono doing his "tonight thank god it's them" line, again, and Damon Albarn making the tea;

And this is the mostly forgotten 2nd version, The Stock, Aitken & Waterman version. Featuring lots and lots of Kylie, Jason Donovan and Matt from Bros sharing the "Bono" line, the other one from Bros on the drums, Chris Rea on guitar, Stock & Aitken playing everything else, an unknown 3 piece boyband near the start, Sonia and that really annoying bit by Lisa Stansfield. No, no the head nodding singing, the way she smiles and goes "Mmm" before she starts singing.

Wonder who will play the drums on Band Aid 30.. my money is on Harry from McBusted.

**Update** Here is the official video for the 4th version. It features One Direction singing the Paul Young line, originally intended for David Bowie, Roger Taylor (From Queen) on Drums, and Clean Bandit members on strings, Bono doing his line again, but with a twist in the lyrics, and no one making the tea, providing the drugs or doing anything remotely exciting, unlike the original.

I still prefer the original.

Ooh, That Sounds Familiar : 3 : Jamie T "Zombie"

It's not very important, but it recently dawned on me - how much Jamie T's new single "Zombie" sounds like Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start The Fire". Another to be filed under "Talent Borrows, Genius Steals (Shits Copy)" I suppose.

See also Ooh, That Sounds Familiar : 1 : U2 "With Or Without You", and Ooh, That Sounds Familiar : 2 : Radiohead "Creep"
