Christmas for drunkards: Fairytale of New York by The Pogues

With Kirsty McColl. Crowned the best christmas song of all time by too many people to mention.

If you find Shane McGowan's singing too intelligible you can see a more unintelligible live version here:

The Pogues were a band I never 'got'. When I lived in Ireland (early 90's) they were super popular all across Europe and people were stunned that I'd never heard of them. I thought they were ok... but I wouldn't buy a cd or anything, all their songs sound the same to me.

Methinks it's like British humor, I just can't get into it.
