Has it really been 25 years?!

Not to sound like an old fogey, but ... where has the time gone? Seriously!
The 2010 remake of "We Are The World," dubbed "We Are The World 25 for Haiti" (above) debuted during the Olympics last night, and it made me think, Has it really been a quarter-century since the original song and video came out?

I remember watching the original video (below) in my TV room when I was in middle school, when our class collected money to send to Africa to help the starving Ethiopians. A decade into the new millennium, some of today's biggest voices came together to help the Haitians affected by last month's earthquake.
Having watched them both now, I've gotta say I'm a fan of the 1985 version better. Every now and again throughout the years, I'd play a little game where I'd watch the video and try to name all the people singing in it. (Remember Kim Carnes or the guys from Toto?!)

Regardless of which version you like best, it's just nice to see celebs banding together — no pun intended — to "make a brighter day."
