The Pogues & Kirsty McColl - Fairytale Of New York. This has always been my dads favourite christmas song and ever since i first heard it it was mine too. the best christmas song ever
Comments
Great song. Growing up in a predominantly Irish Catholic neighborhood, without any religious upbringing at all in my home, I always enjoyed the Irish blend of spiritual cynicism when it comes to Church and Christmas. In my old friends' eyes, I'm still a pagan, but I like Xmas songs anyway, especially the ones with a little bite to them. Personally, I'd like religious holidays celebrated all year, with cartoon specials and holiday music and days off from work. "Andy Williams Sings Your Favorite Songs of Tet...."
There is a six part series about the making of this song on youtube. It originally aired on the BBC. I Recommend it if you have an hour to kill.
