I'll buy it for what it represents, but I'm very unlikely to ever play it.
You'd be better off helping in a homeless shelter for a few hours IMHO
don't you know the "cluttered with shite" look is the new "minimalist/contemporary".
edited to say: quoted the wrong post.
Well it is in our house anyway.

Internalising the problem won't make it go away - say what you really mean you mealymouthed bunch of underwhelming emotional illiterates!
Ooh, did I say that out-loud?
I HATE cover perversions to start off with but this waste of space really is too no no, not the pethadine ARRRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHH

I don't think anyone has suggested that the song is racist or anything, more just appreciating the irony that a large portion of those it was about couldn't give a shit if it was Christmas anyway.
The new one is really bad though, the video is cringeworthy, it incorporates the classic 'its 4 in the morning and we've all just flowen in to do this at the last moment because sir bob said it was urgent so we have to improvise by sharing 1 mic between 4 and reading the lyrics off a sheet to suggest we haven't rehearst.' charity video look.
The crowning glory of that video for me though is either Joss Stones fake crocodile tear when watching the 'before LA2' video of a hungry child (they forced them to watch starving people to show them that outside of their coke'd up head there are people starving so don't look happy that your going to be on a Christmas number 1) or Rachel Stevens 'after LA2' face of joy when she sees the video of the boy playing football.
And I can imagine them sitting around and trying to work out what to do with the dizster -
it why not just let him rap something somewhere. He doesn't add to the song so why bother putting him on it?
But it does raise a lot of money for good causes so lets not knock it

Why Does anyone actually give a shit about how good or bad the song/ video is.?
I dont care if timmy mallett was singing it.
Its a good cause.
And im my opinion far more important than bloody puppies.
As for homeless charities...what a waste.
Just a cheap way for the govt. to duck its responsibilities.
There is no excuse or any reason for anyone to be homeless in this country if they dont want to.
We have a safety net that can cope with anyone who wants to be helped
If they dont, and would rather live on the streets out of choice, then tough shit.
