[inoexist]

[Tza2k]

Ftw

[DuBBeDSoBa]

The only xmas song I like

[hgj4015]

Long live fredship of Irelan and Croatia.

[Wi11liamMunny]

I could have been someone

Well so could anyone

You took my dreams from me

When I first found you

I kept them with me babe

I put them with my own

Can't make it all alone

I've built my dreams around you...

Tho broken hearted, I will always love u Ivy....lwlf

[Tutta2902]

Actually, this is the only Christmas song I can stand in December, the only one not played to death.

[zl4iuzmh]

@Tutta2902 well said

[shwnchr]

Kirsty was such a gorgeous and talented woman.

For me, this song is all too often a sad reminder that she's no longer with us.

[JBiebz4EverX]

Favourite line: The boys in the NYPD are singin Galway Bay! Galway!!!! Best city in the WORLD!

[JBiebz4EverX]

@MasterRioBr Not anyone can, very few people can WRITE such songs as Shane.

[helgih580]

At first I didn't really like Shane's voice but it has grown on me because of it's distinct qualities. There are few things that sound more Irish than his voice.

[61091chetan]

Be it a cold Christmas eve or hot summer afternoon-- this song is always on my playlist !!! RIP Kristy cheers Shane u are amazing !!

[MrSTICKMAN3333]

epic music and video, but all though the video, shane mcgowan looks pissed

[cedalege]

@MrSTICKMAN3333 He ALWAYS looks pissed.

Probs because he is

[dwoodyphoenix]

29, Noddy u loser! Shane is 10 times the man u are!



[2012GamingGod]

i have heared this song about 1 million times yet it has got to be the greatest christmas song that i have ever heared!!!!!!!!!!

[horses4ever2k11]

[MyFightback]

I have to say the Irish are the most friendly and welcoming people ive ever met

[tersecleric2]

@MyFightback couldn't agree more

[flynntheman90]

@MyFightback As an ambassador for Ireland I accept this compliment

[KrazzyKan]

@MyFightback my dad was in the USMC and was observing a patrole by English police. A small red headed irish kid threw a bick in his face, and ran off. my dad confronted the kid who said he didnt hit hard enough.

[CPM117]

@MyFightback Unless you piss em off!

[TheSpanner1971]

snappy get on love ....wish it was christmas ...all chrimbo songs love it ...who cares if it early ...lovely xx

[NightSwift12]

Christmas is well over but Im still listening to this! lol

[Triicell]

Can you see the dislike bar? Nah, me neither...

[tomdylan69]

@Triicell There's a dislike bar?

[PackerBronco]

One of the greatest Christmas songs evah!!!

Though I've always preferred Perry Como's version ...

[barttech80]

Jeeeyyus!! I miss Dublin big time! Why have I ever thought of coming back to bloody Poland? Errr

[EHhsweet]

[crocodile2545]

Souvenir de cours d'anglais où j'ai entendu cette chanson.

[marksoutof10]

Bah humbug! Still, I've always loved this song.

[HitchHikersBlues]

Jesus...people are still comin to this tune in their droves??

Christmas is over for another 12 MONTHS !!!

AHH FUCK IT...WHO AM I KIDDIN...

LETS GET PISSED AND LISTEN TO SOME TUNES xD

[098les]

Loved this when it first came out, loved it when it topped the charts and loved it every year since..it just is in't christmas with out it now...Kirsty is still sadly missed..

[Bragithepoet]

I live in Boston and every year, no matter how old I am, I shed a tear listening to this for the nostalgia of Christmases past.

[luigi26pdm]

Anyone else noticed Matt Dillon as the cop?

[YayCutiePants]

@luigi26pdm please just fuck off and die :(

you ruined this song for me

gotta wait till next Christmas now u trash talker

[luigi26pdm]

@YayCutiePants Dafuq's your problem, I ruined the song to you just because i said Matt Dillon was in the clip? Trying logging off the computer for 2or 3 days and go outside.Don't knowwhat shithole you live in but i bet there's somewhere nicer to be than in front of a computer 24/7. If possible, trying meeting up with your friends if you have any or know some girls, you know, real stuff a real person does, but maybe this is too much for you, so just try going outside and FUCK OFF!!!

[YayCutiePants]

@luigi26pdm sounds like ive upset the baby :)

awwh you going to cry ?

waaaaaaaah waaaaaaaaaah waaaaaaaaah awwwwh

[luigi26pdm]

@YayCutiePants Your mom said the same last night!

[YayCutiePants]

@luigi26pdm haha oh no , he comes out with a mum joke to try and insult me how original ,

[WAFLNeo]

@YayCutiePants now now Cutie, this is a nice song so lets enjoy it okay :) also @luigi26pdm is a cunt!

[UltraRoope]

[Oliibbe124]

Your An Old Slut On Junk :D (8)

[AnnaIsabelleLockett]

it was christmas eve babe. after that i have no clue what he is saying and grumble along with him..

[211FairyTale]

@AnnaIsabelleLockett "It was Christmas Eve, babe, in the drunk tank, an old man said to me 'I won't see another one'... and then he sang a song, the rare old Mountain Dew, I turned my face away, and dreamed about you... Got on the lucky one, came in eighteen to one, I've got a feeling, this year's for me and you... so Happy Christmas, I love you baby, I can see a better time, when all our dreams come true..." He is clear as a bell, of course  :D

[annamegg]

i love this song has anyone seen michlel mcmantire do it

[tristoglister]

Велика!

[AScottGaming]

Bad luck for me, and I don't care! :D

[midgetman287]

184*

[midgetman287]

188 ppl are cunts

[linlam1]

Michael McIntyre and Pixie Lott did a brilliant take on this song over Christmas.

[sorrowfairywhispers]

Not long now till christmas yay lol

[095Tman]

355 Days to go..

[sg72646]

The best Christmas song......by a mile!

[josh7mcca]

the 184 people who dont like this really need a bloody life, its a brilliant song and one that i wait for every year to hear!!

[cocofireah]

Which ones is Great, How nice a Christmas Day

[angelyear2011]

i swear this geeeeza just gets a million pound every december for this song, its the only time its ever played.... not putting it down tho best Christmas song ever!

[aadresdner]

I was listening to "World Cafe" on NPR and the show played "Madison Avenue" which led me to this song. Both are great tunes. I'd heard both of them before but honestly never paid much attention to who the artists of them were. Also, very sad to hear about K. McColl's untimely death. I wish department stores would play more of this during the holidays than the numerous remixes of "I'll Be Home For Christmas" they seem to have on perpetual rotation.

[arianej100]

Michael Mcityre is soooooo damn funny but pixie lott was absoloutley shit!!!!

[djjosh12345678]

@arianej100 be quiet u dont know music

[Randomname56653]

I've listened to this song thousands of times, yet I still only understand half of the lyrics haha, best song ever! <3 :)

[virginiabeachgirl]

@Randomname56653 Which ones don't you understand? (The eighteen to one refers to a horse race he won) I agree, best song ever!

[Randomname56653]

@virginiabeachgirl I mean I can't even make out what he's singing sometimes lol :) Although I have looked up the lyrics of course. :)

[AFanOfTheGame]

Christmas is over yet I'm still listening to the song

[spr66]

Michael McIntyre is an unfunny cunt.

[thecod6noobz]

@spr66 Thats not even funny, he's funny and if you want to tell him that post it on his video not the original song you num nut

[girlracer12341234]

LIKE IF MICHAEL MCENTYRE BROUGHT YOU HERE :D X

[TheSuperlime]

@girlracer12341234 He did not bring me here but i know the bit that your on about. :P

[bobsbluebox]

@girlracer12341234 You should have known about this song before the show.

[virginiabeachgirl]

I just can't get enough of this song!

[SnappyPenguins]

My first Christmas song of the year! Too early I hear you say? Bollocks. Only 359 days to go! :D

[virginiabeachgirl]

@SnappyPenguins Makes a good New Years song, too!

[UVFForever]

@SnappyPenguins yea boy i cant wait for christmas again it goes away so quick

[Zondrey]

@SnappyPenguins Christmas isn't even over yet! still 2 more days to go!

[SnappyPenguins]

@Zondrey Christmas is actually a twelve day festival, symbysing the time from when Jesus was born, to the time the wise men arrived to see him. But what I meant was that I'm listening to Christmas songs for 2012! ;)

[lukaea]

@SnappyPenguins I first read your comment with an American accent. Then, after reading "Bollocks", I read it again with the proper accent ;D

[SnappyPenguins]

@lukaea :D It works with Irish or English. Well done!

[LTBanks1]

i raped the reply button :)

[TheMuzzy66]

the best Christmas song ever made thumbs up if you think the same :0

[darrencriss4eva]

like this if you've never been to Ireland!

[vampire9666]

Still best Xmas Song.

As for Michael McIntyre is such an ARSE. Nothing funny about that idiot!

[somercet1]

Matt Dillon!

[chunkyboy100]

@somercet1 is it? thats been bugging me 4 ages!!!!

[kevinskychuck]

Only bringgs to mind «««««««««««««««««««««««««tom Waits



[0roInvictus]

Gary Jules bought me here.

[DJmini131]

peter pan!

[josephedjohn]

Michael McIntyre!

[STFCstoneroses]

Nobby you goon! 29?????? This is obvioyusly number 1 and one of the greatest songs ever period! Does anybody know where I can track Nobby down so I can kill him?

[culchie1982]

@STFCstoneroses Holder doesn't know his arse from his elbow, probably placed his own song at number 1.

[fenerbache13]

Thumbs up if you're here not because it's your favourite song but because St. Patricks Day is coming up and you're proud to be Irish/have Irish heritage [mostly New York/Liverpool] ;]

[worthingSarah]

@fenerbache13 St Patrick's Day is nearly three months away - what are you on about? We're here because this is the best secular Christmas song ever recorded and has added poignancy because the anniversary of Kirsty's untimely death falls just before Christmas...

[fenerbache13]

@worthingSarah Kirsty's death had nothing to do with how well this song developed into a Christmas classic. ;/ St. Patricks Day is over 3 months away actually and the point was I was listening to a string of Irish songs. What's your problem. [I can't do question marks my keyboard's broke]

[worthingSarah]

@fenerbache13 Sorry, don't have a problem. Now you have explained how you got here (string of Irish songs) I see why you asked the question. However, for those of us of a certain age, we will always want to look up this song in one version or another because a) it is a fantastic song for Christmas - which we all agree :-) and b) we remember Kirsty cut down in her prime as a song writer just before Christmas. One way or another, sentimentality gets us here. Happy New Year!

[andeegreen]

179 PEOPLE HAVE NO FECKIN SOULS!

[daggersr1]

Outrageous that this ranked 29th in Noddy Holders top 50.

[BigCrookster]

Best christmas song EVER - end of!

[elric101]

@BigCrookster amen to that bud!! sod the other songs they sing!

[NikkiFromSaigon]

Merry christmas to everyone. I thank mr. Vincent from Ireland who we met in Saigon. He was the one who recommended this video. Thank you so much.

[hotstuff756]

Wicked tuneee! lee beet!!

[Munezfan30]

1:23-2:28

[hadante85]

All time favourite Christmas song!! Can't beat it xx

[mentalrazorback]

The only thing you could possibly dislike about this video is the fact that it only came 29th in the Big 50 Countdown of Christmas songs.

[lily201037]

love this song favourite song of decade

[danimayb]

.... not to mention all the people boasting about being Irish when they most likely not.. Yes that means you too Americans lol

[danimayb]

and the thing is, most of the people who say amazing Shane this and amazing Kirsty that don't ever listen or like any of the other songs they do! its true through init.

I love this song, but that doesn't mean I think the Pogues are any good. Their music is utter pants to me. or the late Kirsty Mccoll's music. . not my thing.

But having said that, they have managed to make the best Christmas song of all time. Which will probably never be out done.

[worthingSarah]

@danimayb but Kirsty was infinitely variable - from classic ballads like 'they don't know about love' to social satire 'walking down Madison' to fab covers 'New England' to the more Latin later stuff 'Autumn Girl Soup'...have you really tried and rejected it all? Happy New Year anyway - may 2012 bring you musical enlightenment :-)

[LadyTheBubble]

P.S. I Love You

[JedwardSurzy4]

2:22 the best part!!!!!!!!

[HitchHikersBlues]

IN TRUE IRISH STYLE...IM GETTIN DRUNK TONIGHT, AND LEAVIN THE SHITE FOR TOMORROW.

Sláinte !!

[mw3gamer12]

@HitchHikersBlues irish prick 

[HitchHikersBlues]

@mw3gamer12 xD

[7FoolsOnTheHill]

Ended my Christmas by sitting up in my room, listening to this song on repeat. My family are all on the other side of the world, and this song reminds me of home so much. Honestly, I sat at my laptop in tears hearing this. Merry Christmas everyone :)

[matt876mma]

@7FoolsOnTheHill Sounds like you had same xmas as me, fucking depressing. Haha

[MRSashabow]

Happy Christmas

[LeleDeLatina]

Shane's teeth are beautiful !

[xLiLzHD]

<3 this song <3

[Nathpeggsy]

its 6am in the morning, i shouldve been asleep about 5 hours ago, and i find myself at this song. I guess this is the best way to say so long to Christmas 2011, and look forward to 2012

[jamesknox64]

@Nathpeggsy Join the club!

[alfieford95]

so depressing when christmas is over

[Carolec81]

[sionnyn]

This has to be the bleakest, and the best Christmas song ever.

'You took my dreams from me . . .' - can there be a sadder line than that?

[roycab]

The amazing Shane ,the beautiful Kirsty: The best Christmas song!!!

[kallestre]

Yes! The best christmas song of them all! Shane and Kirsty (god bless her soul) making history, and a "Fairytale of New York", is a story i can recall to, so yes! Keep this song alive and kicking....

[stevebenbob]

Quite ironic that it would be Kirsty who would die before Shane??

[njxcjustin]

Happy birthday Shane you wonderful lout.

@mrdj0060 Good one!! LOOOL

[BmoreBusker]

The Pogues are the direct result of the fact that I fell in love with not only the Piano accordion, cittern, bouzouki, pennywhiste.... but they inspired what I do with Cajun music... yet they only add a small dab in every recipe of songs
