But peoples; "There won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time (OH I WONDER WHY THE FUCK THERE WOULDN'T BE SNOW ON A CONTINENT THATS GOES THROUGH THE EQUATOR) Do they know its Christmas time at all?" Sorry that line always fucks me up. I change my mind, Harris must quit but also Geldof should suffer somehow.
― VeronaInTheClub, Friday, 11 July 2008 15:39 (fifteen years ago) link
Don't get me started on the lyrics of Feed the World, it's disgustingly glib and misleading. And how about all that snow on the top of all the mountains in Africa?

thought the new single was awful, but kind of coming around to it as i'm forced to listen to it once an hour at work. funny that I first heard it and thought 'how embarrassing, this is gonna tank'. shows what i know.

i thought this was gonna be refreshed because he stopped making music.
― Whiney G. Weingarten, Wednesday, 15 April 2009 00:23 (fifteen years ago) link
with a number one solo single, you'd better brace for more.

― Hard House SugBanton (blueski), Tuesday, 12 May 2009 14:06 (fifteen years ago) link
Yes this is a worthy question to ask. His vocals actually work on "Dance Wiv Me" because he's playing middling everyman, but here it's just like, can you please replace your sonky moaning with the girl from Fragma's "Toca's Miracle" so we can properly get down to business?

Harris said: "Things got very depressing, things got very boring with indie band after indie band - it became known as indie-landfill."

funny thing is, his music is just as boring as the shitty "indie" bands he slags off.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Friday, 22 May 2009 15:13 (fifteen years ago) link
i think we can all agree that if Calvin Harris and all those indie-landfill bands stopped making music and just buggered off then the charts would be better.
