The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl: "A Fairytale of New York"

Imagine a Christmas music video with the feel of George Bailey getting slugged in Martini's Bar, mixed in with a visit to Nick's dystopian tavern. Of course I'm talking about Frank Capra's "It's a Wonderful Life."
Throw in The Pogues, and the late Kirsty MacColl, and you've got "A Fairytale of New York."



Hat tip and slàinte to Midnight Blue for the YouTube clip.
