Fairytale of New York” by the Pogues wasn’t designed as a Christmas song, but it’s become the most beloved alt-rock holiday track in history thanks to the woozy drunken duet between Shane McGowan and Kirsty MacColl. Greggory, though, points us to the other Christmas song featuring McGowan. I’m ashamed to admit that I didn’t know this track existed.
