The song was called Feed The World
He wrote it with Tina Turner and Lionel Richie for a charity project called "USA for Africa". It was released as a single and all the money went to Ethiopia where people were starving. The message in the song is that we are all a part of the world, even if we don't know each other we should help.
It was a charity single for African famine relief and Michael was always very involved with charity work, the idea came from activist Harry Belafonte and fundraiser Ken Kragen following Band Aid's Do They Know It's Christmas. The money that was raised meant that much needed supplies such as medicine, food and clothing could be sent to Africa.
OH what a relief it is!! That was the jingle for Alka Seltzer.

I believe OXFAM stands for Oxford Committee for Famine Relief. Hope this helps you
