Some good songs to share. Fairytail In New York

One of my favorite songs for this time of year is "Fairytail in New York", in December 1987, reaching Number 2 with a duet with Shane MacGowan and Kristy MacColl. Here is a clip from 1988:

So here are a few other versions you might like to hear.

This first one was released this year, it is on I-tunes and there is a charity that will get the proceeds if you buy it there. I found this one on MatrixSynth: http://matrixsynth.blogspot.com/2010/12/alexa-goddard-brett-domino-fairytale-of.html

This next one is cool, it is by The Amphetameanies, for the Vic Galloway's Christmas Eve Show on BBC Radio Scotland in 2007. It is a fun take on the song. I do believe they were drinking.

Here is a version by Dr. GirlFriend and The Monarch, the male and female parts are swapped.
But from the info dump in the last episode for this season, swapping is not uncommon for them. :)

One more cover by Florence and the Machine and Billy Bragg - Fairytale of New York - Live In Session, it is a good one.
