I think I should the parachute, because I'm great.
In fact, I think I should get both parachutes, in case one doesn't work.
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.
Never play leapfrog with a unicorn!!
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).
" I wish to God that someone would be able to block out the voices in my head for five minutes, the voices that scream, over and over again: "Why do they come to me to die?"

Couldn't agree more....also hate turnip and parsnips.....devil's food!My burd thought the line 'Singing Galway bay' was 'Singing all the way'

p.s I still like the song!
Tact is for people who are not witty enough to be sarcastic
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
My Guarantee

great along with wham - last Christmas and Roy with "lonely this christmas"
and anything by the king- elvis... Roy Wood? He sings "I wish it could be Christmas every day". Isn't it Mud sing "Lonely This Christmas".
" I wish to God that someone would be able to block out the voices in my head for five minutes, the voices that scream, over and over again: "Why do they come to me to die?"

apologies, was a bit merry at this stage on saturday night
Best Christmas song by far.
In Trap we trust
Great song. Its up to No. 8 in UK Charts. A Facebook group is getting behind it to make No. 1 this Christmas.

I hope it does. If only to stop the X-Factor gimp Leon making his jazzy bluesy sh!te making it.
'Fascists dress in black and go round telling people what to do, where as priests.....'
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!
