We are the world!!! thats exactly the song i was thinking of!! but Ronnie Drew was a legend so i suppose any tribute is well warranted RIP Ronnie Drew

It had a very 'We are the World' (or whatever that song is called) feel to it, where celebs lock hands and sway back-and-forth. But, to agree with jimmieteemm, it was mostly Bono who ruined it... and, as you point out, the chorus. Still, it's nice to see people honoring such a fine man as Ronnie.

Bono was the only one who cheapend it Shane MacGowan FTW

yeah i kinda agree with horseflu on that way, it sounds a bit cheesy, i mean i loved ronnie drew but i was kinda cringing during the chorus!!

Man, I LOVE Ronnie, but this song was just too bad to be a tribute. It was a handful of tired old fame-mongers peacocking their faces. The tune itself sounded cheap, whereas Ronnie's songs were gruff, "working class", and tinged with strange nostalgia. As the old saying goes, "wherever there is Bono, there is shit nearby."

You shold look him up here on youtube. He was a man with a wealth of talen and he will be sadly missed by the world.

Oh Ronnie...rest in peace. I got upset as I heard that you had passed away. But I hope you are in a better place now. Rest in peace.
