band aid
A Band Aid is a brand of adhesive bandages used for minor wound coverings. They are small, flexible strips coated with an adhesive on one side. The non-adhesive side often has a small, medicated absorbent pad in the center designed to cover small wounds, blisters, or abrasions to promote healing and protect from infection and dirt. The term "band aid" is often used generically to refer to any type of adhesive bandage.

Band Aid
Band Aid was a charity supergroup featuring leading British and Irish musicians and recording artists. It was founded in 1984 by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure to raise money for anti-poverty efforts in Ethiopia by releasing the song "Do They Know It's Christmas?" for the Christmas market that year. On 25 November 1984, the song was recorded at Sarm West Studios in Notting Hill, London, and was released in the UK four days later. The single surpassed the hopes of the producers to become the Christmas number one on that release. Two subsequent re-recordings of the song to raise further money for charity also topped the charts. The original was produced by Midge Ure. The 12" version was mixed by Trevor Horn.
