Yeah fuck it, this story is about my husband. Sometimes I call him my boyfriend or ex when I write about him, but I like this one too much to change his identity.
My husband once told me about the song “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” and I didn’t believe it was real when he put it on. I 100% thought it was satire until he pulled up the Wikipedia page for it and showed me that it was sadly not a joke.
I then proceeded to listen to it ten times as I tried to wrap my head about the fact that hundreds of people heard this song and STILL decided it should be out in the world.
HOURS later when we were eating dinner I looked up and said, “Bono agreed to it, Babe. It had Bono!”
“Viola, you have to let this go.”
When we were brushing our teeth I looked over and said, “It DOES snow in Africa! It’s a huge fucking continent with mountain ranges. “
“You’re STILL thinking about this?”
Finally, when we were in bed he started kissing me while I was on my phone and I basically ignored him. “What are you reading?” He asked. When he looked at my phone and saw the lyrics pulled up, he lost it. He started laughing uncontrollably.
“Why is this funny? This song exists!”
“Your obsessive thoughts are funny! It’s been like 8 hours.”
“The song says they don’t have rain or rivers! In all of Africa!”
“Viola!” He took my phone and put it aside. “I will let you rant about this for twenty minutes straight if you kiss me back.”
I do kiss him back and I climb on top of him. I start grinding my hips into his, but then I remember the lyric, “clanging chimes of doom.”
“Why wouldn’t they know it’s Christmas though? Like no one in all of Africa owns a calendar?”
My husband busted out laughing and wrapped his arms around me. He started laughing so hard tears sprung to his eyes. “V, it’s a horrible song!”
“It doesn’t make sense! Stop laughing at me!” But I was laughing then too. I couldn’t help it. I fell beside him and went into a full giggle fit. After a few minutes again we started making out and had a few moments of tension. He reached to cup my breasts and I let myself moan into his mouth, but then I heard him giggle. “What’s funny?”
“Just… Band Aid is such a bad name,” he said as we both snorted. “I’ve never met anyone with fixations like you.”
“There’s a documentary about how they made the song and I really want to see it.”
“No there’s not!” He was laughing uncontrollably now and couldn’t get a breath in.
“Ok, ok. We have to stop or we’re never going to fuck.”
He got on top of me and started dry humping me through my sweatpants. He got hard and I reached my hand down to stroke him, but then the lyric about tears being the only water sprang into my head and I started laughing again.
“Oh my god,” he said as he rolled off of me. “What now?”
“Just… the tears line!”
We held each other as we laughed. “You’re insane.”
“I am not the insane one! How do people go through life knowing this song exists? I am rational for being troubled.”
We tried to kiss again but kept laughing.
“If we can keep going until we’re both turned on we’ll stop laughing,” he finally gasped.
“Ok, what if we don’t face each other? Maybe it will be easier.”
He flips me on all fours and gets behind me. He pulls my hair slightly and kisses my neck, but then we lose it again.
“Damn it, V!” He giggles. “This song has ruined enough good things in life!”
But that’s it. We both laugh so hard he collapses behind me and pulls me in so we’re spooning. I am gasping for air as I try to repeat another lyric but he stops me. “I can’t,” he cries.
We laugh for ten minutes straight until we’re both crying. By the time we’re done, we just fall asleep.
And you know what? I find this story sexy as hell.

This is so relatable 😂
I really enjoyed that v. Your stories about your husband are always so heartwarming. Love the relationship you guys have. Really gives me the warm and fuzzies.
OMG. I feel so old realizing that there are so many others, who, like you, have also never heard of this song. But, like all your stories, it was a good read.
Bono hated his verse. “Well tonight thank God it’s them instead of you.” What a line to sing to raise money for people suffering from a famine. Political correctness had obviously not been birthed when it came out. Great story though.
Lol just liistened to it. Ok I gotta admit the song is pretty neat. I kinda like it for some reason. Yea the lyrics are really dumb though lol
Also those 80s rocker chicks in the music video are hot as fuck. I think that swayed me more than anything
Literally running to YouTube to find this gem you speak of
If “1st world problems” was a song, that would be it!
> “The song says they don’t have rain or rivers! In all of Africa!”
“I bless the rains down in Africa” – Toto 1982
I mean it’s right there smh Toto is not pleased!
Always a fun time with your husband stories! Cheers to the two of you Ms. V and husband!
Why is humor is so sexy and yet so incompatible with sex?? This one just feels good. 🥰
It was the 80’s. Yeah kinda had to be there to get it. FarmAid, BandAid, AIDSAid, KoolAid…
The kind of vibes I yearn for
Thank you.. I grew up on this song in the late ‘80’s… The lyrics rang true for me as a Marine who volunteered for Operation Restore Hope (Somalia, Africa) because of this song. Seeing the impact of famine on women and children at Christmas in 1992 has had a profound effect on my life…. Hopefully you two eventually had a great fuck session???? ;-)
This made me smile. Is this what love is supposed to be like?
This is just so sweet!! I didn’t come to GWS to laugh and shed a tear, but I appreciate all the more for that.
Thank you for this! 😊
He loves you.
Can confirm, we have all those things. I mean, it rained while I was riding my rhino to work this morning
This is the definition of wholesome.
I’m glad that countries exist where it’s possible to avoid that terrible song. In the UK, it’s on that infernal December music loop, exclusive to all music channels, shops, etc.
Thank you, now I got this song stuck. But great story!
You know they are something special when they can make you laugh during shit like that. ❤ This was so damn wholesome I think I’ll have to Google the damn song now. Reminds me of a story about a watch… Anyways. Thanks for sharing OP!
Lol thank you for the morning laugh. So wholesome. Y’all are sweet together
This is great.
My gf and I have definitely had to stop having sex because we were laughing too hard but never a story as in depth as this.
Adorable
Great story, I was smiling the whole time reading.
