The only "Rich Girl" I know is by Hall & Oates. I assume that's not the one you're talking about. No, it's a recent song and it's by some douchey-looking band made up of three guys who try to act cool. I was thinking of the one with Gwen Stefani where she sampled "If I Were a Rich Man" from "Fiddler on the Roof." I hate that "Rich Girl" too. |

Gwen's "Rich Girl" was so lame that I was embarassed for her. Was it her idea or her producer's??? But then I heard her "Bananas" and I completely wrote off her solo career. She needs to stick with No Doubt. |

"Sweet Escape" was what did it for me. Not sure anyone could have come back from that, let alone the unfortunateness that is Gwen S. Hope she enjoys SAHM-hood, because I think that's going to be the bulk of her life from now on.

Anything Gaga. Her songs are all, "ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga GAGA." "te-te-te-te-te-te-te-TELEPHONE." "ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-RADIO."
Plus she is just horrid to look at.

I hate anything by Ke$sha (gad, I feel soiled just typing her name with that stupid dollar sign). Her singing isn't terrible - it's not great, but it's not the worst I've heard - but when she starts talking in that really self-conscious smart-ass way, I want to smack her into the middle of next week. SHUT UUUUUP.
Joining in the hate for the original We Are The World. I remember all the hooplah behind WATW and how everyone's egos got in the way and they couldn't agree on some chant that was supposed to be in the chorus (they ended up cutting it), and I was like "after all that effort, THAT'S what you ended up with?" I don't know the full story behind Do They Know It's Christmas, but I'm willing to bet money that Bob Geldof basically called his buddies, asked "Do you wanna contribute some of your time and talent to help feed the hungry", and that was that. (If anyone has some info about it, I'd be really interested to hear it.)

Shalamar, Bob called up a bunch of people and said, "I'm making a record to help feed the starving people in Ethiopia. Will you contribute?" A few he had to browbeat a little ("No, get your ass on plane, dicksmack") but for the most part, everyone was on board. And the "Check your egos at the door" sign on the studio was not only essential, but, retrospectively, the exact opposite of WATW.

Thanks, Dwan! For some reason, that made my day. And now that you mention it, I remember hearing about the "check your egos at the door" sign. Hee.
I used to have an extended version of Do They Know It's Christmas?, and I remember Sir Bob coming on at the end and, sounding incredibly weary, saying something like "It's 2:00 p.m. on December (whatever it was), and we've been up all night recording this, so now we're going home to sleep." I wish I could find that recording again.

Some choice lines from the chorus of a song that makes me want to poke out my eardrums:Rain makes corn, corn makes whiskey. Whiskey makes my baby feel a little frisky. And: We hunt our honeys down, we take 'em into town
Start washin' all our worries down the drain
That line isn't so bad, but the singer actually says "warshing" and not washing.
Sigh, now I have to go find a song, any song, to get this one out of my head.
