Red Nose Day and charity singles have a long history, and we wanted to make sure we carried on that tradition here at Red Nose Net.

So what to do?

Well, you call up brilliant songwriters like Jonathan Coulton and Paul & Storm and ask them to write a brilliant charity single. Then you pull out the rolodex and start putting together an all-star cast of luminaries to bring that single to musical life.

And then YOU buy it, with all proceeds going to support Comic Relief.

So here it is – SOME KIND OF CHARITY (or Something) – And here are the links to buy it:

We all are people
Everywhere we go
There are things we all are sure of
And some we just don’t know

And when it’s time to make a difference
We must do the things we can
And if we can’t
We only do what we can do

The world is like Ruth’s Chris
And the children are the meat
Brotherhood is the table
And the food is the food we eat

But some folks don’t have reservations
So they have to wait outside
We gotta bring them our love steak bones
And a side of inspiration
Wrapped up inside a tinfoil swan of pride

CHORUS
Some kind of charity or something
Time for all our hearts to see
We’re a family of hands that lights the way
Some kind of charity or something
We’re the “you” that makes us “we”
Because yesterday’s tomorrow starts today

Can I just take a moment here to say
My new Discovery Channel series starts this May

This is not the time to plug things
Like my new CD Zero Day
Or the vlogbrothers on YouTube
“Venture Bros.” starts again this fall

CHORUS

REPEAT
