The story behind The Pogues' 'Fairytale of New York'

Friday December 14, 2018. 03:12 PM , from BoingBoing
One story pegs Elvis Costello as the original impetus for The Pogues' Fairytale of New York. Another points to the band's manager. Either way, it took Jem Finer and Shane MacGowan two years to write the now-classic anti-Christmas Christmas song. The story behind it is an interesting one. This Polyphonic video tells it.
