By 'now', you mean Christmas time, yeah?
Agree. have despised that song for a couple of years now.
I never liked the song, now I completely hate it. One of the 10 most annoying things about Christmas.
i have to play it at every gig from the middle of nov, but at least it means the end of the night and i can go home !
great song love it..never gets old
Despise the song to be honest.
Gets played too often and when its played in a niteclub it causes a cattle
like stampede of women trying to get on the dance floor to sing along to it.
Funny Christmas song story was 2 years ago at our work Christmas Party.
It was a big formal meal with all the trimmings, and as the main courses
were being brought out what was being softly played in the background???
Band Aid - Feed The World :D
LOL :DQuote:

Great song though
Dont mind the song but i hate when it comes on in a pub or club as the fat smelly ****ed up idiot beside you takes his cue to put his arm around you and start swaying shouting out the words and spitting all over your face.
Some might find it an honour to be serenaded by the writer of the song.Quote:

It's class.
The best Christmas songs have a separate story going on.
A la Last Christmas.
Another classic.
Stop whingeing.
Pleased to meet you.:)Quote:

God help us it could have been a lot worse, remember Ronan Keating recorded a cover but due to popular outcry never released it.Great song in its time but so overplayed.Maybe we should have a best Xmas song thread instead.
Nah, 'cos it'd be Silver Bells by Bing Crosby, and that'd be it, thread over, end of! :cool: :D
a class song but perhaps overplayed at this stage, heard it live last Christmas in the Brixton Academy, amazing.
Could be worse, boys - anybody still in therapy after that incubus keating "covered" it ?
eh ........... fair enough.:oQuote:

My burd thought the line 'Singing Galway bay' was 'Singing all the way'
Feckin Swedes :(
Every year, when I first used to hear it I'd think - "ah yes, thats a good song" but within 48 hours I'd hear it 48 times and I was sick of it,still weeks short of Christmas.
I doctored the words on it last year and put it on the Christmas post on foot.ie as The Fairytale of Old Cork.
I'ts nowhere near played enough.
Great song and, like other great Christmas songs like Merry Christmas Everybody by Slade, the fact that it's actually surprisingly difficult to play/perform generally stops every tosspot with a six string or who used be in a boyband from dragging it through a hedge backwards. The odd one slips through but they usually just utterly disgrace themselves. I know Ronan Keating fans who turn away in disgust at the mention of his and Dearbhlas version. Proper order too.
One of my favourite facts about the actual recording of 'Fairytale...' is that the whole intro thing with the piano and Shane on his own was an afterthought. It was recorded in a completely different session, different studio etc... to the "rest" of the song which originally started at the point where the whole band join in. They literally taped two different two-inch reels together (no Adobe Audition, Audacity, Cubase, Pro-tools etc back in them days).
Never tire of hearing it TBH deffo the best crimbo song ever
Couldn't agree more....also hate turnip and parsnips.....devil's food!Quote:

It's a good song which has been overplayed so it kinda loses a bit of its special appeal , My favourite bit is the extended instrumental at the end for some reason , I think its wonderful
Bah Humbug.
I hate New York, don't much care for the song either
Love this song, it is overplayed but not sick of it at all.
great along with wham - last Christmas and Roy with "lonely this christmas"
and anything by the king- elvis :D
:confused: ... Roy Wood? He sings "I wish it could be Christmas every day". Isn't it Mud sing "Lonely This Christmas".Quote:

I hope it does. If only to stop the X-Factor gimp Leon making his jazzy bluesy sh!te making it.
On a related topic here on the BBC, the song has been edited for BBC radio listeners. Some lyrics have been deemed too risque.
Check out the picture of McGowan. Priceless!
