Tina Turner - GoldenEye 1995

"GoldenEye" is a song written by Irish musicians Bono and the Edge from the rockband U2, and performed by American singer Tina Turner. It served as the theme for the 1995 James Bond film GoldenEye, starring Pierce Brosnan. Depeche Mode was initially approached in 1994 to sing the main theme song for GoldenEye, but were coming to the end of their Devotional Tour and could not meet the schedule. Instead, the producers got Tina Turner to agree to do the song. After being informed of Turner's involvement, Bono and the Edge were next to join, and agreed to write the song. The track was produced and mixed by British producer/remixer/composer Nellee Hooper, best known for his work with Massive Attack, Madonna, U2, and Björk. The track reached number ten on the UK Singles Chart and became a top-five hit in several European countries. "GoldenEye" was less successful outside Europe, reaching number 43 in Canada, number 63 in Australia, and number 2 on the US Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100.

"GoldenEye" was first released on the original motion picture soundtrack and the following year it was included on Turner's album Wildest Dreams. The music video for the song was directed by Jake Scott. The song has been covered by Nicole Scherzinger for the 2010 remake of the GoldenEye 007 video game.

Band Aid - Do They Know It's Christmas? 1984

"Do They Know It's Christmas?" is a charity song written by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure to raise money for the 1983–1985 famine in Ethiopia. The BBC News crew were the first to document the famine, with Buerk's report describing it as "a biblical famine in the 20th century" and "the closest thing to hell on Earth". The song was recorded by Band Aid, a supergroup assembled by Geldof and Ure consisting of popular British and Irish musical acts such as U2, Sting, Wham!, Duran Duran, Culture Club, and Phil Collins, as well as the US group Kool & the Gang. The song was recorded in a single day in November 1984, and the single was released in the UK on 7 December 1984.

It entered the UK singles chart at number one, where it remained for five weeks, becoming Christmas number one. It sold a million copies in the first week, making it the fastest-selling single in UK chart history until Elton John's "Candle in the Wind 1997". UK sales passed three million on the last day of 1984. The song also reached number one in 13 other countries. It was released in the US on 10 December 1984 and sold 1.9 million copies in its first eleven days on release but did not reach number one, due to the more complex chart system, which counted airplay as well as sales. Despite outselling the official number one by four to one, it did not make the top ten due to a lack of airplay, and reached number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song had sold 11.7 million copies worldwide by 1989 and 3.8 million in the UK by 2017.

Most retailers agreed to sell the record at its cost price of £1.35 including VAT. The British government donated an amount to the charity equal to the amount of tax they had collected on the single. The song raised £8 million for Ethiopia within a year, far exceeding Geldof's hopes. When Wham!, who appeared on "Do They Know It's Christmas?", reached number two with their single "Last Christmas" (poll #445), they donated their royalties to the Band Aid Trust. The success led to several other charity singles, such as "We Are the World" (1985) by USA for Africa, and spin-off charity events, such as Comic Relief and the 1985 Live Aid concert. In 2010, the BBC apologised after falsely reporting that money raised by Band Aid and Live Aid had been diverted by rebels and used to pay for weapons.

Critics objected to the song's depiction of Ethiopia and Africa as barren. Ure said the song was secondary to the purpose of raising money for the cause. It was re-recorded and re-released in 1989, 2004 and 2014. All three reached number one in the UK, and the 1989 and 2004 versions became Christmas number ones. A new mix, combining elements of the previous versions, was released in 2024 for the 40th anniversary. For the 2014 version, several contentious lyrics were rewritten, and the song was changed to focus on Ebola rather than famine. The new lyrics have also been criticised as promoting stereotypes and condescension. Criticism from Africans regarding the song remained: in 2014, African activists and Twitter users complained that the song disregarded the diversity of the continent of Africa and ultimately did more harm than good for the people.

Several publications and commentators have described the lyrics as racist and demeaning towards Ethiopians. Ethiopia is home to one of the oldest Christian communities in the world, yet the lyrics and title imply that Africans would be unaware of Christmas at all. Peter Gill, one of the few Western journalists in Ethiopia at the time, said: "As Ethiopians have pointed out ever since, they did of course know it was Christmas because the starving were mainly [Orthodox] Christian."

“punch me”

early 90s liam gallagher x reader,, young+dumb+in love

“This is shite, man!” Liam huffed, frustratingly pulling out fists of grass from the neat park lawn.

“Rowdy’s gonna have me for dinner if I don’t show up. Seriously,” I gave an empty laugh and ran my fingers through the short grass. The most important cup of the season had fallen on the same weekend as the U2 concert Liam and I had had tickets to for months. Normally I would never back out of a game or a cup, being Coach Rowdy’s brightest hope on our team, but U2 ranked above everything else.

“You can’t go to fucking Nottingham and run after a fucking ball in the scorching sun for three days straight! U2 are playing G-MEX!”

I laughed at Liam bashing his own favourite pastime; running after a ball. I tossed my head back, crashing my back onto the soft ground in the midday sun.

“I know!”

“I’ll fucking have Rowdy for dinner!” Liam argued, aggressively pointing his finger in the air at nobody, chunks of grass flying from his fist. I squinted up at his backlit, soft face contorted in a scowl. He resembled an agitated puppy. I smiled and petted the back of his other hand which was pressed into the ground. Feeling the muscle in his chunky hand, an idea struck me.

“Punch me,” I chirped suddenly. Liam twisted his neck quickly down to stare at me, eyes wide and brows knit together.

“I’m not engaging in your weird kink things, love. You’ll have to find a new boyfriend for that.”

“Fuck off,” I laughed and squeezed his hand on my way to sit up again.

“If you injure me I can get out of the cup. Punch me in the side, or kick me in the shin or something. Just enough to bruise me, and I’ll fake a limp.”

“Aye, I liked it more when it was a sex thing.”

“Come on, Liam!” I laughed, pulling on his arms.

“Isn’t faking a limp enough?” he asked, concern glowing in his eyes.

“No, he’ll see through it! There’s gotta be a bruise or something visible. I’ll tell him I fell on some steps and fractured a rib.”

Liam couldn’t help but laugh now, eyes still wide under his thick, ruffled fringe.

“You’ve lost your fucking wits! I’m not punching you.”

“Do you wanna see U2 with me or not?”

Liam got quiet and stared at me with a frown. I stood up and pulled him up with me.

“Just one hard one right here,” I encouraged and pointed at the side of my belly, just under my ribs to not risk him actually cracking one. Liam looked around the empty park and I laughed, pulling on his hands again.

“You’re a lunatic.”

“I grew up with three brothers! You don’t think I’ve been punched in the stomach before?!”

“By little boys!”

“You’re a little boy,” I teased with a grin and pecked his lips shortly.

“You really think I’m that stupid? You won’t rile me up enough to punch you.”

“I don’t know, Li, you’re pretty easy to rile up.”

He laughed tiredly and gave a vague shrug and sigh that indicated he might actually be considering the idea.

“Just one?”

“Yes! A good, hard one!”

“You’re fucked in the head,” he informed as his left hand wrapped around my shoulder and he took a few deep breaths and a step back.

“Pretend I’m Noel,” I giggled through the adrenaline and held a big breath as I tensed my core the hardest I could, closing one eye and squinting at Liam through the other. He was trying to push the premature regret out of his mind, his fist tightly balled and eyes glued to my belly.

Liam swung his arm and within a split second his knuckles shot into my body. The pain spread quickly and I folded at the middle, heaving my head over his shoulder and tackling him to the ground.

“Fuck!” I laughed breathlessly as I toppled onto his body. “Oh my god!”

“That sucked! Are you okay?” Liam panted, his fist unclenched and palm now softly holding my sore flesh.

“Yes,” I laughed the adrenaline out of my system and dug my face into his warm chest.

“Man, if Bono could see you now he’d give you free tickets for life,” he laughed gently and continued to caress my abdomen. I giggled and slid off his body but stayed cuddling his side.

“If that doesn’t bruise by tomorrow you’ll have to do it again. Maybe use your knee,” I mumbled and peered up at Liam who instantly shook his head at my insanity.

“You’re mental,” he muttered back and shoved my face softly with his palm.
