RIP Shane & Kirsty! Gone but never forgotten! ❤💔❤. This came out when I was 16 and has been my favourite Christmas song ever since. I'm Scottish with Irish ancestry. Us Celts need to stick together 🍀.
The singer and songwriter Shane Mc Gowan probably is most known for still being alive nowadays. A brilliant songwriter who often demans some history knowledge from the listener. Kirsty Mc Coll was a brilliant singer who worked with a lot of big artists in the 80´s. Sadly killed on vacation in Mexico, hit by a boat belonging to a mexican billionaire. The bastard. Personally I love their second studio album, "Rum, sodomy and the lash" most.
Do you remember, the year the UK tried to ban it of the radio on Christmas Day? Everyone in English, Ireland, Scotland and Wales had it playing at full blast at 3pm (during the queen's speech) 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 #ThePogues🇮🇪💚🇺🇸
One of my top Xmas songs of all time. Makes me laugh, cry, sing and dance every time I hear it. RIP KIrsty - you were a great singer & song-writer gone long before your time was due. This song is poetry. Forget the words which might not be politically correct these days. They are not there for hateful purposes - they are telling a tale. In a drunken argument between a husband and wife many worse words might be used.
This is my favourite Christmas song I’ve seen the pogues live few times. Only got to number 2 in the uk charts but it’s the most played Christmas song on the radio in the uk and Ireland of all time.
Kirsty McColl was murdered by an idiot operating his speed boat in an area restricted for swimmers only. She saved her young son by pushing him out of the way of the boat but was struck and killed herself. The bastard who killed her was let off, but should burn in hell.
respect for not commenting through the song. shane macgowan was born on xmas day. watch one more pogues song and u will be completely pogued. ps subscribed , love from berwick upon tweed ☘
I was 7 when this came out and living in northern Ireland county antrim! Always been my absolutely favourite Xmas song. R.i.p Shane u & Kirsty can dance in the sky now 💔💖
You're going to have to Google the song Galway Bay now too, to understand the THE FAIRYTALE OF NEW YORK completely 😂 enjoy yourself, from, Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪💚🇺🇸
Yo .... I decided to subscribe as I like the range of material you choose to react to. Both Kirsty and Shane have passed but their duet on Shane's composition will live forever. Shane is an Irish songwriting icon. I Would love to hear your reaction to another Irish icon: Imelda May. She is an amazing songwriter, singer, arranger, and producer. Her original material ranges from Rock-a- Billy (Johnny got a boom boom) to torch ballads (black tears) and fantastic covers like Kermit's "it ain't easy being green", U2s "still haven't found what I am looking for", or Les Paul and Mary Ford's "how high the moon" with the late, great Jeff Beck. Fair winds and Happy New Year.
Kirsty was a very successful solo artist. I knew her and she was a sweetheart. Sadly she suffered a horrific death when she was hit by some rich bastard in a speedboat in Mexico.
The Cop escorting Shane MacGowan (lead singer) was a very young Matt Damon (Actor). The women is Kristy McColl, she was not part of the band and sadly around 3 months after this was shot she died in a plane crash. It's one of the most popular songs requested at Christmas in the UK.
@@MyKingOfSwing The speed boat was speeding in an area that was designated for swimmers. I'm not sure that that can be called an accident any more than someone driving at speed on a space designated for pedestrians could call it an accident if someone was killed.
@@annelambe5650 LOL!!!!! I'd had a few Rums that night and I know you are totally right! I'm amazed I made that mistake. But, I did and I own up to the fact I was just out of my mind and being horribly silly that night!

Anybody who hasn’t heard this Song before has been living under a rock on Mars. Without question, the best Christmas song of all time.

White dudes of Irish heritage that grew up in the 90's are ISSUED this song, like its a book of coupons that show up in the mail! 🤣🤣🤣💯😎
This is probably the number one Christmas song in the UK
Without doubt!
Ireland!!!!!!
Should of been many times!!! Let's hope this is the year
It never got to no.1 in the charts in the UK. It no.1 in the Irish charts in 1987 and 2023
@barryb90 ah sorry . I haven't checked lately but I sincerely hope its no1 in uk this year! It should of been years ago!!
It’s the most honest and wonderful Christmas song ever recorded.
Pogues you should listen to
If I Should Fall From Grace With God
Body of the American
Sick Bed of Culculin
Rainy Night inSoho
Bottle of Smoke
Kristy was brought in to sing this after Cait the Bass player left. She died in a tragic accident a few years back.
Kirsty.
Yes ,swimming in a bay ,hit by a boat,think she was saving her child
Kirsten was killed by the Mexico billionaire who owned Mexican supermarkets
Her children saw it and all the blood
Played every Christmas! Surely you must have heard this before?

You should try out "A pair of brown eyes" by the Pogues as well. And/or "The Band played waltzing Matilda" by Eric Bogle. I'm sure, you will love it.

My favourite line in the whole song, "I coulda been someone. Well so could anyone!" A gem.

u wer wrong about the plane crash ,she died in a speed boat accident in mexico
@@MyKingOfSwing The speed boat was speeding in an area that was designated for swimmers. I'm not sure that that can be called an accident any more than someone driving at speed on a space designated for pedestrians could call it an accident if someone was killed.
The actor in question is Matt Dillon , long time friend of Shane, NOT Matt Damon.

The Pouges and Kirsty McCall released FAIRYTALE OF NEW YORK in 1987
Kirsty died in a boat accident. Sleep peacefully Kirsty 🙏🇮🇪💚🇺🇸
