Here’s the classic music video for the song “Fairytale Of New York” by The Pogues featuring Kirsty MacColl. The song tells the sad and unfortunate tale about spending Christmas Eve in the drunk tank in a New York City jail.
Keep your eyes peeled for a cameo by a very young Matt Dillon and people with lots of bad teeth.

Fairytale Of New York – Lyrics
Here’s the lyrics to “Fairytale Of New York” in case you want to get drunk and sing along:
It was Christmas Eve babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me, won’t see another one
And then he sang a song
The Rare Old Mountain Dew
I turned my face away
And dreamed about you
Got on a lucky one
Came in eighteen to one
I’ve got a feeling
This year’s for me and you
So happy Christmas
I love you baby
I can see a better time
When all our dreams come true
They’ve got cars big as bars
They’ve got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you
It’s no place for the old
When you first took my hand
On a cold Christmas Eve
You promised me
Broadway was waiting for me
You were handsome
You were pretty
Queen of New York City
When the band finished playing
They howled out for more
Sinatra was swinging,
All the drunks they were singing
We kissed on a corner
Then danced…
