Recorded on February 1st, 2010, in the same studio as the original 25 years earlier (Henson Recording Studios, formerly A&M Recording Studios) "We Are The World 25 For Haiti", in which Jones and Richie serve as executive producers and producers, was created in collaboration with executive producers Wyclef Jean, Randy Phillips and Peter Tortorici; producers Humberto Gattica and RedOne; and co-producers Rickey Minor, Mervyn Warren and Patti Austin to benefit the Haitian earthquake relief efforts and the rebuilding of Haiti.
Academy Award-winning writer-director Paul Haggis (Crash, Million Dollar Baby), whose own personal efforts as well as those of Artists for Peace and Justice have already saved countless lives in Haiti, filmed the private recording session to create the accompanying video and behind-the-scenes production, and serves as Film Director and as an Executive Producer with Jones, Richie, Jean, Phillips and Tortorici.
The 25th Anniversary recording features over 80 artists and performers. The recording of We Are The World 25 For Haiti embodied the same enthusiasm, sense of purpose and generosity as the original recording 25 years ago. Every one of the artists who participated, regardless of genre or generation, walked into the room with their hearts and souls completely open to coming together to help the people of Haiti.

***LYRICS***
Hey, Mr. Burns. You thought your money could buy you the world.
I said hey there, Mr. Burns. I happen to notice that you don't have a girl.
Smithers loves you, Burns. Why do you ignore him?
You gotta keep up the rapport like it's too important
Instead of running away, you should move in toward him.
But you keep him at the border like the dude is foreign.
We know you're straight, dude. I really hate to
Say there's no way anyone else would date you.
Straight out the gay scene. How do you face him
Knowing he wants to be your Malibu Stacy?
All he ever wanted to do was spend a little time with you.
Hey, Mr. Burns. Hey, Mr. Burns.
You know you're worth more to him than all the money you spend.
Hey, Mr. Burns. Hey, Mr. Burns.
Hey, Mr. Burns. I'm thinking maybe you should give him a chance.
I said hey there, Mr. Burns. Yeah, so what if he's a man.
We know you're blind, old man, but you can hear me talking.
You're always home alone. You ain't Macaulay Culkin.
You ain't a Flintstone. Pay no mind
To the fact that Smithers wants to have a gay old time.
And while relationships have their twists and turns,
You know he'll never leave you. Don't you, Mr. Burns.
So you should give him a shot, and maybe help the guy,
And you can make relations Santa's Little Helper style.
All he ever wanted to do was spend a little time with you.
Hey, Mr. Burns. Hey, Mr. Burns.
You know you're worth more to him than all the money you spend.
Hey, Mr. Burns. Hey, Mr. Burns.
