Do They Know It's Christmas?

matosman.bsky.social•6 days ago

Wow. That wasn’t the answer I had but it kinda works. Isn’t it the same artist - Band Aid - both times though?

scottmliddell.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yeah, I suppose it's the same name(ish) with a different line-up. Interested to see the real answer!

Another vote for Do They Know It’s Christmas. It was technically different groups at different times with Band Aid 10, 20 added 😂

Oh! Who was that band with the afros from the early 00s? Dancing in the Moonlight, yeah?

Toploader had a few hits I think. Remember ‘Achilles Heel’ ?

theemightygiggs.bsky.social•6 days ago

Ah, Toploader! Don't remember too much of them besides the haircuts, sadly.

Replying just cause I want to see the replies 😃

What’s the answer Mat???

Spirit In the Sky by Doctor and the Medics springs to mind

tractorbiker.bsky.social•6 days ago

My thought too

wildcroft.bsky.social•6 days ago

I don't have a better suggestion, but Doctor and the Medics had a Top 30 followup.

matosman.bsky.social•6 days ago

Ah, the internet has lied to me. If I’d said ‘and no other top twenty hit’ I (and you) would have been right…

wildcroft.bsky.social•6 days ago

But The Kumars had a no 1 with it as well, so maybe it's Norman Greenbaum and The Kumars.
