Best Christmas song ever, I remember my Grandpa belting this out every Christmas, so many of our loved ones are gone but I like to think they are all up there singing this together. It’s my favourite
It is bewildering why the lyrics are such a big deal. The song is a well loved classic and any rendition attempted should perform the lyrics as composed. Indeed if you listen to rap music or view some movies and reality shows you could very well be confronted with much worse words than “faggot” there I’ve said it! Don’t shoot!
Yeah it was great. Shows you how absolutely ridiculous the song would sound if we adhered to the qualms of Social Justice Warriors. Good to see them take the piss out of it
que enorme tristeza estamos todos a passar com a morte de Shane MacGowan e o génio que ele foi a compor musicas lindas e inesquecíveis e ainda compôs a musica mais linda sobre o Natal da história da música universal, fica em paz Shane MacGowan.😢😢😢
This song is mainly about an abusive and self-destructive heterosexual relationship. I don't thlnk it has much to say about gay relationships. Why censor it? They will be wanting to take the anti-semiticism out of the Merchant Of Venice next.
From what I´ve read, f*ggot means lazy or sth like that in Irish slang. So she was taking the piss obviously. (RUclips didn't let me post the comment with the f word in its entirety, thus the * I put. I'm daying of laughter).
You do realise they were taking the piss right? The whole point was to change it to the PC version to show how utterly ridiculous it is to change the wording. I have yet to meet a gay person who has a problem with the song (although online I've read some), and they are normally quite frustrated that the people turning it into a problem are straight, white social justice warriors.
@@brucemacmahon5603 just played christy’s. Version and I have to agree with you. Also found his Lockdown sessions from his home over the past 6 months or so. Quite a treasure trove! Thank you.
Handard and May are two very mediocre singers who have risen to dizzying heights in Ireland. It beggars belief. The old adage: "Who you know is better than what you know" definitely applies here. If this is the depth of our talent then we are seriously f-c-d. There is a long, long list of such people in Ireland who are mediocre artists but are feature everywhere on radio and TV.
whats your talent? besides posting BS on here to try make it look as if your a music expert, and in doing so making yourself a total dumbass, well done

I’m an Irish American raised in Philadelphia and this song really hits home .. lol Irish women !!
Me,too!!
Cant help but think that Kirsty was waiting to usher him into the next phase.
Rest in peace, Shane
What a voice. Stunning. Love Irish singing. Can't beat it
God bless Shane. And Kirsty.
1st class!!! Best Christmas song ever. Well done Chris and Imelda 💚🇮🇪

Agree! Say it, say it, say it!
Still one of my favorite Christmas songs, even though it's sad...or maybe that's why I like it. Good cover anyway
It’s perfect because it encapsulates life as a whole, sad but also fun
Amazing 🍀💚🇮🇪
That's the great thing about being Irish we can party anywhere we just walk into a bar and see Ng away
Defo mate. Lots of love for my Irish brothers & sisters 🇮🇪 🏴
Best cover yet.
Shame Mac Gowan ¡El más grande de nuestra generación!
Brilliant 😊👍🏼🎄🎉🎅🏼🎁🤩🌟🥳🎊
Are those also some of Dublin's young buskers? What a cool opportunity for them to play with Glen and Imelda!
Harry Fennel on guitar to the right he's a fine, talented artist and singing poet.
Love ❤️
Absolutely brilliant! Loved the little lyric change. Burst me hole laughing.😂😂
Yeah it was great. Shows you how absolutely ridiculous the song would sound if we adhered to the qualms of Social Justice Warriors. Good to see them take the piss out of it
What exactly did she say? Imelda and Glen are always great.
@@jamesdolan4042 she said ya cheap lousy homosexual 😅😅😅😅
Love the song, love Glenn, love Imelda
Class ♥️
Christy would be proud
🎄 🎄
Or, KIRSTY
Wow!!

It's a sing-along, lotta fun for those there. Shouldn't be held to the same standard as straight-up covers, IMO.
Was that the last ever live performance with real people jammin together ??? :-( xx
Imelda doing this is just perfect.
not to big to be true to the heritage…. well done to all of you.
Pub irlandais chanson de Noël ''stop pogues
…..that’s not fairytale of New York. Sing it right, or if you agree the times dictate it, don’t sing it at all.
"Cheap homosexual" had me pissing myself 🤣🤣
Emelda May is a litium battery in real life

KT Tunstall does a great cover version where she changes the line to “you cheap, lazy blackguard” - which I think works perfectly!
2:29 she changed the lyric. Absolute disgrace
It's not a disgrace
It was a piss take
@@stinkygremlin267 A complete a utter disgrace.
Political correctness rears its head at 2:30. I wonder what Shane would have said about their changing the lyrics.
She was taking the piss😂
“Cheap homosexual” yup…congratulations, you ruined it
Shane would've enjoyed the joke
They butchered this song to death 3years ago,and repeated it again on The Late Late Show on Friday night gone by....please stop the butchering.
shut up u knob
If you must, "laggard", works better. Shane was no no homophobe.
Crap Woke version she changed the Words
The worst voice I have ever heard! When he says: "I love you baby!" I escape. Too nosy and bad nosy playing!
I have often wondered when the S.J.W.s would come for this classic, hopefully this was just irony .....
It was a piss take obviously
From what I´ve read, f*ggot means lazy or sth like that in Irish slang. So she was taking the piss obviously.

You have just disgraced the best Christmas song EVER. 2.29

@@VelcroKittie im gay but this is even better now. Cos wasn't expecting it.
@@stinkygremlin267 It makes it worse ffs🙄
LOL The lyric change did not disappoint 😅
Nul vous êtes dans les recherches de musique
Christy Moore should be the only person legally allowed to cover this song.
Not his song
@@wgeoffreyhutchinson2985 That's what a cover is - playing someone else's song. And Christy's cover is the only one I've heard that does it justice.
@@brucemacmahon5603 just played christy’s. Version and I have to agree with you. Also found his Lockdown sessions from his home over the past 6 months or so. Quite a treasure trove! Thank you.
Christy is a living legend.

Worst version I have heard that’s being nice
you havent heard Ed Sheeran do it I guess.
not half as good as shane
Dreadful version of a classic song.
