"Cashing in on the gulf war 2"

First Madonna, now Avril Lavigne with her VERY repetative song, "Knocking on Heaven's Door" which is rumoured to have been thought up in 12.3 seconds!

"Hi guys!"
"Nice Tie"
"What shall we do today?"
"Dude, wanna cash in on the war?"
"Right!"

So she sings the words "Knocking on Heaven's Door" about 100 times whilst footage of Iraqi kids in schools gets played - bearing in mind these kids will have been taught the ways of the regime in those schools atleast until now.

She a very bad person.

Ther record will sell and she'll make lots of money.

..

I've seen the entire video on The Hits...about 5 times an hour...

I now know it wasn't written for her...and if the original is the same, it still sucks...

You do realise that 'Knocking on heavens door' was originally recorded by Bob Dylan and was certainly not thought up in 5 minutes?

Have you actually heard the song or have you just seen clips where she says "knocking on heavens door"?

I painfully downloaded this song and the exact ammount of times she says (can't justify it as singing now, can we? :P) "Knocking on Heaven's Door" is :::10:::, which is an average of every 12.1 seconds throughout the song.

Weird, I'm sure it was more than that :|

Besides, Madonna's album sucks, and the critics all agree on that....

Mate, you're a little obsessed with that Warchild album, aren't you? I write a post about war songs in general, with specific references to Madonna's latest song... WAR CHILD IS DA GOOD!!!1 in reply. Some jokey comments about Avril Lavigne... WAR CHILD IS DA GOOD!!!1 in reply.

Don't think anyone is critising War Child. Avril can still agree to do a track for the album for nowt and benefit off the publicity - not that I'm saying that's what she's doing.

But they aren't new songs based on the war ! They're all covers or old ones which have meaning in the context of war.

Has anyone actually criticising this album looked at it and the Warchild charity ?

If Avril Lavigne offered me a special 'performance', I don't think I'd say no, but I'm still not happy with the songs based on the war...
