** In 2010, musicians including Creator/JenniferLopez as Music/{{Rihanna}} and Creator/KristenWiig as Music/GwenStefani did a song "We Are The World 3", in response to the reviled reaction of "We Are The World 2". It ends with Creator/KenanThompson's Music/QuincyJones concluding that the latest version was pretty bad as well.

In the present day, the song is shown to be yet another old embarrassment for Titanium Rex, as the song was not commercially successful and utterly failed to stop excessive deforestation.
