I can't believe this song is ten years old this year. Released October 11, 2005 by an all star lineup calling themselves North American Halloween Prevention Initiative, "Do They Know It's Hallowe'en?" is a charity single that pokes more than a little fun at "Do They Know It's Christmas?".

All proceeds of the song were donated to UNICEF, and according to the official press release, the song "stems from a frustration with other benefit songs' misguided, somewhat patronizing attitude, and Western-centric worldview."

So just how "all star" was the lineup? Well, let's have a little rundown, shall we?
