According to the forum on www.pogues.com (where members of the band frequently post, in particular Mr Philip Chevron) the Ross performance has now been filmed and went very well. The Pogues & Katie Melua will also be performing together on CD:UK. Fantastic!!! They are filming it tomorrow (Sat 10th Dec) but I'm not sure if this show still goes out live. Does anyone know?

Agree with everyone who's said this is the best Christmas record ever but then I always loved The Pogues and Kirsty McColl (ever since There's a guy works down the chipshop!)
I hope the re-release does well. I didn't buy it first or even second time around and think it'd be a great Christmas No 1 |

I posted this in the other thread about christmas songs, but got no replies.
Are they using Kirsty's vocal in this re-release? Because the below link makes it sound like Kate Moss is doing the vocals on the new re-release ![]() http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/n...ck=1&cset=true |

I cant even type the word. Victoria Newton has a campaign to get it to no1 for Xmas, so I hope it flops. It is one 'Christmas' song which can be played throughout the year as it's not too festive like Slade or Wizard. |

This censorship issue is pathetic. The Pogues recently filmed an appearance for the Jonathan Ross Christmas Show (showing Thursday 23rd Dec, 8.00pm, BBC1) and were told they would have to change the lyrics. The band rightly refused and said if the BBC insisted then they wouldn't show up at all. Funnily enough the matter was dropped and the performance went ahead, but it remains to be seen how it will be edited.
Just for the record, anyone who doesn't buy at least one copy of this single next week to get it to number one for Christmas is a scumbag, a maggot and a cheap lousy faggot!! Happy Christmas yer arse!! |

But I think one of the main reasons you're supposed to pronounce "Fairytale Of New York" the greatest one ever is that it's the only well-known Christmas song with swearing in it. (Admit it.) |

"Christmas Eve in the drunk tank, An old man turned to me - said he wouldn't see another one .." Something like that could really have happened to Shane. |

Seriously though, I still say it isn't the best one.
