DO THEY KNOW IT'S CHRISTMAS?

Good morning / afternoon / evening everyone, depending on when you are reading this. Welcome back to the Daily Vitamin! I hope you are having a good day.

This week is our last week of Daily Vitamins until Monday, January 8th. And this week we are looking at different Christmas songs that have been recorded over the years by different artists. For each lesson, I will include a link to the song on YouTube with the lyrics, or I will include the lyrics in the lesson. 

Today's Christmas song is: Do They Know It's Christmas?

You can listen to the song (with lyrics) here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DS7bn_gm9o0

You can read more about the song in Wikipedia here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_They_Know_It%27s_Christmas%3F

In Wikipedia it says that "Do They Know It's Christmas?" is a charity song written in 1984 by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure to raise money for the 1983-1985 famine in Ethiopia. It was first recorded by Band Aid, a supergroup assembled by Geldof and Ure consisting of popular British and Irish musical acts. It was recorded in a single day at Sarm West Studios in Notting Hill, London, in November 1984."

I hope you have fun with the song (and the 80s hairdos in the video). Let me know (in English), on one of our social media sites (Facebook or Twitter/X), what you think of the song. We'll give you feedback about your opinion as soon as we can.

I hope you have a great day!

All the best!
