Since arguably the greatest Christmas song ever, Fairytale Of New York was released.
More poignantly it will be 12 years next week(18th) since Kirsty MacColl was tragically killed in a speedboat accident.
Where does the time go?

RIP Kirsty.

Worst xmas song ever IMO, McGowan 'sings' like a drunk on karaoke

Switch channels on TV/radio every time I hear its intro

...but isn't that the reason it works so well? The beautiful vocals of MacColl alongside McGowans? The vocal performance fits his description in the song.

Thanks Nox, was going to ask if someone would post FONY by the Pogues. When I hear it I know Christmas is near - love it.

I'm the same maggie. It's not Christmas till I've heard FOY on the radio. I don't know what they did but it certainly worked.

Just beautiful. My favourite christmas song.
