Song of the Day: ‘Fairytale of New York’ by the Pogues

I’m recovering from the flu and so especially nostalgic this Christmastime. I very nearly cried while listening to “FairyTale of New York” by The Pogues, with added vocals by Kristy McKall, today. Hence, it’s my song of the day.

I’ve got lots of Irish blood but not much Irish culture, but I swear, this song could make anyone want to dance a reel. And that penny whistle!
