WOW Hozier did an amazing tribute to Shane MacGowan covering The Pogues’ powerful Fairytale of New York on SNL last night….probably the best cover I’ve heard of it besides the Glen Hansard and Lisa O'Neill version at Shane’s funeral 🥹🙏 Full version: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAwG... - ThreadSky

Was awesome. And sorry to be overtly sexist, but the short haired backup singer was…gawd damn

Beautiful rendition. Over the years this song has become one of my absolute favorite Xmas tunes. Still gets me a little misty-eyed every time I hear it.

I almost didn't survive Weekend Update to make it that far

You’re not wrong! Amazing.

I think that you're 50% right. Sounded great, but the female verses require a singular voice, IMO. There's no opportunity for chemistry & emotional resonance when her lines are shared by a chorus.
