A Sample of Christmas Music

These are the most popular Christmas song over here, hands down - people can't seem to get enough of them and they are played non-stop on the tele, radio and in the shops. Maybe it is a generational thing, but I had never heard either until I came here.

Merry Christmas Everybody by Slade


Fairytale of New York by The Pogues


Note the second to last verse of this second song - If that ain't the Christmas spirit, I don't know what is...

You're a bum
You're a punk
You're an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
You scumbag, you maggot
You cheap lousy faggot
Happy Christmas your arse
I pray God it's our last
