The good folks over at Vice Records have created a spoof of the 1984 Band-Aid song "Do They Know It’s Christmas?" and they’ve managed to get quite an impressive bevy of artists to participate. It’s called " Do They Know It’s Hallowe’en?" by the "North American Halloween Prevention Initiative" which is just code for "Big Group of Really Kick-Ass Artists Singing A Song Together."
The artists include The Arcade Fire, The Postal Service, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Feist, Beck, Rilo Kiley, Sonic Youth and more. Quite the line-up, no? It almost makes me ok with the idea of fall begining and summer ending. I said almost.
Listen to it here.

It doesn’t surprise me that you christians would want to steal this pagan holiday from us, just like you did “christmas.” Who are you going to say was born on HALLOWEEN? Moses or something equally stupid??

Do you people not get the concept of satire? It’s a joke. You know, ha-ha.
