I hope you will be able to support this initiative by purchasing a copy of the new charity single
It is in aid of an ignored and marginalised group of people who, through no fault of their own, live at the end of a long strip of land like Portland Bill or even the Campbeltown peninsula in Scotland
Just visit your local record store and get your copy of " Do They Know It's Isthmus? "
And Give Us Yer F***ing Money

This is the Ramones' tongue-in-cheek take on charity singles.
"Something to Believe In" was also the background track for a music video called "Ramones Aid" which was frequently played on MTV. In the video, the Ramones are depicted in a group of people who give money to charity. This video parodies Hands Across America, by featuring T-shirts with the logo "Hands Across Your Face" and showing various hands holding each other in various settings.
The video included lookalikes from the 1985 USA for Africa video titled "We Are the World" (Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie, and Cyndi Lauper). When juxtaposed with images in parody of other aid videos, the songs hook line, "I'm looking for something to believe in", is frequently interpreted as making fun of true believers whose identity is derived from embracing a cause.
