Comic Relief: Red Nose Day

Since 1985, Comic Relief has raised over 600 million GBP to donate to help eradicate poverty in Africa. This year, the telethon for Red Nose Day broke its own record by raising nearly 68 million GBP in a single day. Every year of the event, a special charity single is recorded by a mainstream artist to help raise funds. To honor the great achievement this charity has accomplished this year, I thought it would be interesting to look at a lower budget music video from the charity's humble beginnings (Bananarama's "Help!") and compare it to how far the charity has come with its most recent single (The Saturdays' cover of "Just Can't Get Enough.")
