there is a song about Kirsty Maccoll on our page now. would be interesting to hear what Kirsty Maccoll fans think of it. you can download it free on our Facebook page if you do like it. cheers
Simply the Best Christmas Song Ever!! Brilliant melody and great lyrics. Just can't get over hearing this over and over again. Greetings and best wishes to all from Malta. Well done Pogues!! Ron
yesterday i met a girl, and spent and hour of my life with her, the best that has recently happened to me. Today, she doesn't want to have any relationship with me. It seems that true love is difficult to find.
why everybody argue so much about the origins of this song? It is just a great song! Listen, dance, sing, laugh, cry, wtf, just a great song! (Shane is Irish, and the song is Irish) but clearly all nationalities love it -- because this song touches humanity
This song is going to be played on the radio and in bars for years and years to come, well until long after I'm dead anyway. an absolute classic, it will be hard for anyone to ever make something better.
Just ta let ye no Yee wana b irish men nd woman if ya were born r lived in r both in england r america r ny other country other den ireland Cope on yeer nt irish :L I dnt go rwnd sayin im english Im Irish nd proud !! Expessically wen i hear dis song (: Love it soo much Cmonn ta Irish aint dat rite (: (: (: xoxoxo
@MissMileyno1 I understood what you said but I'm also Irish ... but 98.23% of the world wont have a dogs ballox what you just said but I love the spirit :)
the pogues fairytale of new has to be one of the greatest christmas songs of all time and i have a rare studio jamming session of it so please feel free to pop over to my channel to have a look at it. type "the pogues fairytale of new york rare studio footage" into you tube search bar and hit the top one youll love it i promise.
Heard this on my British Airways flight to Pakistan the other day. As an Irish-American New Yorker, it was like being home. And of course it made me smile. And then tears welled up in my eyes.
@aurona Maybe you have to be Irish to appreciate how perfectly this song captures the pathos and sadness inherent in Christmas. But I don't think so. I think you just have to have a soul.
@LadyCypher54 lol I'm of Norwegian,German and English and I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE this as well as traditional Irish music! Slainte agat!
@MissMileyno1 I'm Irish and your comments are just embarrassing. Contrary to what MissMileyno1's comments might suggest, we Irish are a literate race, and have quite a comprehensive(and good) education system. And most of us CAN spell 'especially'. Nollaig Shona daoibh go leir
I'm Irish and have been living in Ireland the last three years. All of my close friends have emigrated to Australia, Canada or the UK. It's a sad state of affairs when you have no more friends to go for a pint in your local in Dublin. The greedy swines who destroyed Ireland won't be thinking about the devastation they caused to our country this Christmas or the thousands of Irish emigrants who are forced to leave their homeland due to their bourgeoise politics
@BlackMountainScar Best comment! Kirsty MacColl, G)O(DDESS of New York City (and most everywhere) Bless and RIP indeed...This ineffable song (and ineffable ocular vid) made Christmas sparkle again! The Bells are ringin' out...X
love this song as christmas is not all about been happy, its remembering the people we have lost, getting merry on drink having little fights, its all about the true christmas feeling xx
'?' Do YA remember? Memories...KIRSTY!!...You and The Pogues made X-Mas bearable with this, then YOUR tragedy, comforting others AS ALWAYS...Joey R, Stiv B, Johnny T (& Jerry N), DeeDee R, Johnny R,Kelly J,'?',all your friends and so many more, mine too.Remember tose (Brickfield!) nights? It was a Blast!...Of course Ron Asheton (Hope the R.A.F. is doing well) '?' Thanx for your card, it arrived just as I was signing yours (and the other two). Hope all's as good over there as you say. And DAD X
