The song brought light to the famine

The kid doesn't know this though, and at the end of the ditty he wonders how his dad would react to his mom getting along with Santa Claus. None of this is that interesting. The insistent chorus of Santa Claus Is Coming to Town by Madonna, while the original record was a hit, it still doesn't quite make up for the uncomfortable lyrics here. But Madonna's recorded performance for A Very Special Christmas takes discomfort to a whole new level. For some reason the pop star thought it would be a good idea to sing her best Betty Boop voice.

The baby-like voice prompted Madonna to simply say "no" to Santa's request. This will definitely make you feel uncomfortable. Our advice If this light comes on Get out of the chimney and out of the room Do they know it's Christmas By Band-Aid Where do we start? Although it's a holiday staple for many, we just can't stand this condescending song filled with stereotypes .

The track was written by Bob Geldof and Mickey Ure as a response to the devastating famine in Ethiopia in the 1990s. It was recorded over the course of a few days by a supergroup that included British and Irish stars including Bono and Sting. and became the fastest-selling single in the UK charts at the time, selling 10,000 copies in its first week. It's a mess though. African activists took to Twitter to point out that the song encapsulates the continent's view that Western colonialism is doing more harm than good.
