This is awesome. The North American Halloween Prevention Initiative (Beck, The Arcade Fire, David Cross, etc.) has come out with a single called “Do They Know It’s Halloween?” Both a trick and a treat, this satire — as well as a charity-benefit song — will donate all the proceeds from its sales to UNICEF.
You can either purchase the original version, the radio mix, the Disco D remix, Th’ Corn Gangg Remix ($1.99 each) or the whole bundle for $3.99. There’s even a ringtone of the song available for your creepy enjoyment.
Here are just some of the boys and ghouls involved:

For a truly frightful sight of blood and gore…just kidding, for a cute and artsy treat, check out the video.
