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 slĂ inte to Midnight Blue for the YouTube clip.

And if you get a chance, visit Patrick Hynes' Ankle Biting Pundits blog. He's the biggest Pogues fan in the blogosphere.
