I didn't know there was more than one version, though... which is the good one?
Hm. Am surprisingly nigh-on-target for NaNoWriMo. But that still means I need to write almost 2000 words a day --_____--; curse my inconsistent muse...
It is truly one of the best songs ever. I love listening to it at Christmas.
The good version is the original one by The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl. It's been covered by a few people (including Ronan Keating who has the amazing ability to ruin almost every song he covers) and a lot of them change 'faggot' to 'haggard', which is a stupid thing to do.
I'm still very, very behind on NaNo. Must write more... MORE!!!
