Quoted from Les Brechin


Did you know they've altered a recorded version of this song with the line  "You cheap lousy faggott" changed to "you're cheap and your haggard" and they've got rid of the word slut in the line "You're an old slut on junk" in case it offends anyone.

You couldn't make it up.


That line came about when Ronan Keating did a version of the song. Blasphemy from a fellow Irishman.

It’s very easy to get outraged by changes in language. I have seen people get upset by the original line. That’s not to say it should be changed, just that every time someone does something to avoid offence, it isn’t always made up or imagined offence. Even the Pogues themselves snapped back at thattwat Fox recently on Twitter when he got offended by the change from faggotto haggard.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

The faggott line was changed very early on Les for the US versions. The BBC has been in two minds, sometimes playing one and sometimes the original.  I wasn’t aware of the slut line change. When was that?


Well this was from about a month ago so I asume around then.

A curio for Christmas. I looked up the oldest Christmas record and this is what came up.

Merry Christmas!

Outstanding. Did I see it was written in 1857? That’s pre-American Civil War.

Totally different mood, and apologies if I posted this before. Probably of more interest to the’younger’ audience among us.

I’m sure this was the B side on the single “Imagine” Tim.


Only just seen this today Chris but chances are you're right

I never had the Imagine single so I'll defer to your expert knowledge

On the subject of folky stuff. I was reminded of this seasonal offering yesterday.



Made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.


I recall this being sung in Christmas assembly at school KM.... Wintringham liked its Latin

Some people don’t like ABBA but they are without doubt one of the most unique groups ever and when I hear their songs I just can’t help joining in.

A bit embarrassing in Tesco but still.

This one is topical.

I went to see these at Lincoln Cathedral years ago...a fabulous backdrop for this song.
