I'm at work, so let's say I'm happier, not happy. I do appreciate you checking on my emotional welfare however.

Love this song. I was playing my "Christmas" Mix at work, and of course this song's on, and the receptionist walks into my office. She hands me the mail and says, "Oh, is this a Christmas song?" I said, "Oh, yes." "Oh, it's a lovely song. Is this on a CD?"
She's playing the CD it in the lobby as I type this.

/Holiday Cheer from Smashing Pumpkins, Captain Sensible, Pogues, Stevie Nicks...it's a terrible mix...

I requested this song for our office christmas party a few years back. I am no longer allowed to request music at company events.

The Brits in our office loved it, everyone else was thinking WTF?

/maybe it was the Stompin' Tom that I also requested that got me banned.

The same thing happened to me, but it was "Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick". So what if it's not a Christmas song?

/wishes he had a glass of the rare old mountain dew to raise in her honor

pogues are shiat

Shane McGowan is THE shiat. :)

No Use For a Name does a rockin' cover!

Such a beautiful song --- and yes, I'm brushing my teeth soon as I finish my beer. Any time someone mentions Shane McGowan, I automatically think about when I last brushed my teeth. I'm like Pavlov's dog, only with dental floss.

My favourite Xmas song.


/that is all

steamingpile: pogues are shiat

You are shiate!

/first greenlight in years, years!!

If that's not a song lyric already, it should be.

Anybody know who's singing Kirsty's part nowadays when the Pogues are on tour?

Gulper Eel

It wasn't on the setlist when I saw them in March.

Weigard: It wasn't on the setlist when I saw them in March.

Hmm. Friend of mine saw them in Vegas a couple years back and the crowd went wild when...some woman...came out on stage to sing it with Shane, but the whole room was in such a drunken haze they may have thought it was Kirsty back from the dead for all I know.
