The Pogues feat. Kirsty MacColl - “Fairytale of New York” (1987)

Thirty-seven years ago today, on November 23rd, 1987, “Fairytale of New York,” the lead single from If I Should Fall from Grace with God, the third studio album by the Pogues, was released. With its origins stretching back to 1985, the song had a trying gestation period to reach its final release. In its first recorded incarnation, the female role was performed by original Pogues bass player Cait O’Riordan, but eventually went to the wife of then-Pogues producer Steve Lillywhite, singer/songwriter Kirsty MacColl. Named after the 1973 novel by J.P. Donleavy, the track’s operatic (possibly internal) dialogue, a harsh reminiscence of lost hopes while in the drunk tank, struck a chord and was an immediate success. While the song has never been a UK No. 1, peaking at No. 2 in its initial run, the enduring track has been in the UK top-20 twenty times since its release, including every year at Christmas since 2005. As unlikely as it may seem that one of the Western world’s favorite modern Christmas songs is by an iconoclastic Irish punk/folk band, it is difficult to think of anyone else that could have so deftly combined such a gently lilting Broadway melody with the painful realities of the downtrodden that makes the tune so beloved, and it may very well be the song that ultimately defines the Pogues. As stated by the song’s co-author Shane MacGowan, “It’s our ‘Bohemian Rhapsody.’”

FUN FACT: The classic duet between Shane MacGowan and Kirsty MacColl captures the story of an Irish immigrant couple who've fallen on hard times and turn against one another. The New York Police do not have a choir in real life.
