‘Do They Know It's Christmas And U2 Has A New Album Out?’ is what Irish singer Saint Bono, upon arrival at the recording studio, requested Band Aid organisers Sir Bob Geldof and Midge Ure title the third and latest communal recording of the Third World charity anthem Do They Know It’s Christmas?, in order to maximise sales and attention for his band, whose new album was due out just three days after the new charity record by the current cream of the music world, and Bono, for the Band Aid 20 project. But a disgusted Fran Healy of Scottish indie pop group Travis chirped up to protest the request, declaring "We have a singles record to push before Christmas too, ya know!" as English songstress Dido, holding up a photo of starving children, also waded in to opine, “The greatest gift they'll get this year is Life For Rent ...my latest album!"
Meanwhile, Justin Hawkins from unintentional comedy rockers The Darkness – having tried and failed to top the festive chart once before – screeched, "What about me?! I'm desperate to appear on a Christmas-themed, #1 single!" before embelishing his comment with a short but typically over-the-top guitar solo, while Dizzee Rascal rapped, "Oh just shut up de lot of u / Dis iz gunna be better dan tha '89 orijinal wit or witout u2," to the disgust of Saint Bono, who countered, "Well, tonight thank Bob it's me, instead of HIM!" as he pointed to the Darkness singer, who had been looking to perform Saint Bono’s much-talked about line of “Tonight, thank god it’s them instead of you” from the 1984 recording, only for the U2 man to show up again two decades later.
Frustrated by all the bickering; Chris Martin, the sensitive soul from the band Coldplay, broke out into a softly-spoken, piano-led burst of "Feeeeed the eeeego... Let. them. know. it's. Chris. Mart.in. OH! Feeeeeeed the eeeeego... Do. they. know. it's. Chris. Mart.in. at. all?" …repeating it over and over, louder and ever more impassioned as he continued – until Robbie Williams, formerly of dancing group Take That, now worried that the spotlight was being completely taken away from him, placed a large band-aid plaster over the Coldplay singer's mouth and the remaining d-listers that had assembled soon joined the whole lot of them in going their separate ways, either upon learning that the auto-tune wasn’t working, or that all the talk in the media about ‘the line’ wasn’t actually about a line of coke they were to receive for turning up, but in fact the line Saint Bono was demanding from Sir Bob that he get to sing.
Still, safe in the knowledge that they and their record labels would receive lots of free publicity for their own brand just in time for the Christmas shoppers.
