The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl - Fairytale of New York

[piano4soul]

I love this song !

But what has happened to that singers teeth ? They're all black :|

[FletchScopes]

@piano4soul ..I think you will find that those are gaps in his teeth

[FletchScopes]

@piano4soul ..Also have a look at The Pogues with The Dubliners and you will see how bad his teeth are

[bloppss]

Lov this song im Irish and proud

[silvertwist12345]

@bloppss no one cares that ur irish!

[AcrylicArtz]

all i want for christmas is my two front teeth.

[nurzumspass]

Check out the "Walk of the Earth" version, it's really good!

[Riberaberubu]

the most beautiful performance ever, by anyone.. kirsty was so beautiful all the angels in heaven must be jealous R.I.P

[jordanqwerty12345]

Michael Mcintyre is so right.. but the fact is if he had all his teeth he could properly sing better lol

[9EricR]

WHAT THE FUCKS WITH HIS TEETH (tooth)

[rabbitoh14]

@9EricR thats just shane, not like its a fucking revelation, surely?

[9EricR]

@rabbitoh14 thats not what i asked, and dont call me surely

[rabbitoh14]

@9EricR well if you want to be a thick cunt, what do you expect?

[MaxLawlessPhoto]

I used to go to the dentist but then I took an arrow to the knee.

[ThugEmpire101]

@MaxLawlessPhoto Skyrim quote on a 80's Christmas song? Oh god help us all... 

[xxJ0hnMartinxx]

@MaxLawlessPhoto there's even a skyrim joke on a irish christmas song. This has gotten to far.

[paulaian100]

[exceltelnet]

Rock on Kirsty! RIP

[shaunz321]

[MissStarsSparkle]

What happened to Kirsty MacColl ? I know she died and all (RIP <3 ) but how did she die?please help and tell me..Im like the only one who doesnt know!! :)

[hannemaria95]

@MissStarsSparkle She was runned over by a boat. She saw it came towards her and her sons, and when she pulled her son to the side she was hit and she died instantly :/

[abelfastlad]

Shane Ireland. loves you.. Happy newyear.. you sing with true Irish passion...RIP Kirsty.. we love you good Bless

[DeadbyAprilFTW]

What's wrong with him?

Did he take an arrow to the mouth?

[canascot02]

@DeadbyAprilFTW rpg to the face

[vampire9666]

211FairyTale - SPOT ON!

[SMITHZER98]

272 People Are Shane's Dentists :)

[trippy898]

kirsty still sadly missed

[listentothis1]

Shane will always be sexy to meeeeee............

[211FairyTale]

you all superficial motherfuckers make comments about Shane's teeth, etc., but look who wrote this song, an international hit which obviously resonates with the greater part of humanity, for over 25 years! He has the balls to tell the truth, and doesn't care how he looks while he tells it. More than you can say for most. 

[jallahu]

learning my son about aperence,yes you can look great without teeth but brush them!!!!!!!!

[AdidasKnifed]

Maybe He just had Bad Gums?

[LittleDragonGames]

@AdidasKnifed He smashed them out and the money he was given to get them fixed he spent on booze and heroin

[charlierobertbint]

he may be the ugly-ist fucker alive but he sure can sing

[itsmefergal]

Fantastic lyrics from a bygone Fairytale era long ago, Thank Fuck......McGowan is not an ambassador for me or any Irish people trying to make a living and rear their families away from Ireland. This image of the drunk Irish is well played out by publicans all over the world at this stage. When Irish people go abroad an IRISH PUB is the last place on earth they would go to unless they want to be ripped off.

[stellpoons]

@itsmeferga Some people are like this regardless of nationality.

If i was irish id thank fuk you were not an ambassador because with your comment you just look like a pretentious dickhead.

[WaerzMedia09]

Michael McIntyre and Pixie Lott were way better

[ahsanur100]

What the hell is he saying...

[zarquon53]

@ahsanur100 If you had dentition like that , and had drunk the quantity of Alcohol he obviously has , you'd have difficulty enunciating the lyrics too .

Irishmen .

Dontcha just love'em ?

[ahsanur100]

@zarquon53 Lol

[jamiebrown1977]

Take a look at rare studio footage of the pogues at jamiebrown1977 you'll live it

[ToastedMarshmallow13]

I can see what Michael McIntrye means

[usmani53]

Jheeeze. Someone hasn't visited the dentist in a looooonnnggg time.

[1CaptainAustralia1]

@usmani53 actually he paid the dentist to make him look more Irish

[TheFrankMcQ]

@1CaptainAustralia1 ? is that a compliment

[Benylor]

Happy Christmas, you arseholes :D

[EmmaJaynePhillips]

emma p watching pogues xmas 2k11 brepbrep believe famdem yo

[broady135]

michael mcintyres version was amazing

[UhBreeVeeAyShuhN]

Lyrics: Suhh  suhh suhh suuhhh sushh

[UhBreeVeeAyShuhN]

Has he had a stroke?

[MKoster2310]

@UhBreeVeeAyShuhN no he was always drunk/stoned what so ever

[Fredericksartworks]

This song should be listened to as a metaphor of a love affair of an Irish boy with New York that goes sour...or possibly as the American dream that is unrealized.

[respinosach]

This took me to Lana del Rey

[tomb613]

Every time a bell rings an angel gets his wings. Rip km. Ringing bells all over today.

[Towerguyman]

I grew up Irish in the Bronx. This song talks to me. So many of my friends and their families are represented here. The crash of dreams and life are so typical of many of us. The first time I heard the Pogues do this it broke my heart. It still does.

[DanndyGarbage]

Lana Del Rey sent me here. And I love this now.

[mistyangel1000]

This was in the top 10 of highest selling UK singles of all time, Shane McGowan was on talking and they subtitled it!!! Brilliant you gotta love him

[stevewhu]

RIP Kirsty.

[Maxmulham]

Merry Christmas from Newfoundland!

[Teleia1]

[MarkMck1994]

[ghoulshark]

merry christmas to all from someone at an all time low. We all have largely lost the idea of this holiday. And we all know it. And we all still go on, me included, complacent and blind to its true spirit. Who here watching this video has helped another person today, truly going out of their way to make a difference for someone else? Fucking christ, people, What have we become?

[MrSweatyPants]

@ghoulshark I agree, Im stuckk in Hong Kong on my own, The wankers I moved out with in my proffession have not invited me to what th efuck ever they are doing today. so, currently on my own in shit accomoodation drinking wine. The shittest Christmas day I have ever had. I think of the guys in the trenches of WW1 for comfort.....

[CVanCauwenberge]

@MrSweatyPants I'm in Spain without any wine or smokes!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel ya bro.. Happy fucking Christmas:)

[SeriousError]

@ghoulshark But because you have posted with honesty, you will have kindled a light in someone else's heart. The true spirit of Christmas is in remembering our humanity - thank you for reminding us of that. Even in adversity, there is hope as long as we continue to ask ourselves if what we do is right or wrong.

[211FairyTale]

@ghoulshark no worries, my dear. We are (or at least are becoming) the enlightened beings we are meant to be. Take a deep breath. All will be well. There is much more good than there is evil in the world. Thanks for posting -- you will kindle many sparks of better times from this. Happy All Holidays. Peace & Joy to you

[ThatGuyOverThere20]

Polished off the single malt scotch, got a kitchen full of drunk people belting out the best christmas song ever. If there's a better christmas tradition, I don't wanna hear it. Cheers everyone!

[HedWrek]

Merry Christmas, everyone, and Merry Christmas to you, Kirsty, up in heaven. Thank you for the music. I love you.
