do they know it's hallowe'en tonight?

Vice Records has produced this astounding song called "Do They Know It's Hallowe'en Tonight?". Starring a whole host of indie rock stars (Wolf Parade, Sonic Youth, Arcade Fire, Beck, Feist, Peaches, etc), the song is a parody of such patronizing benefit rock songs as "Do They Know It's Christmas?". I think it's a great song, but listen at least to hear David Cross getting freaked out by his friends.

Listen to it here; click here to read the lyrics and see who's singin'.
