Showing up fashionably late to the party, your punks of pedantry bring you a drunk tank-full of minutiae behind this timeless duet between reluctant lead-Pogue Shane MacGowan and Kirsty MacColl. The boys of the TMI Choir rummage through the two year (!!!) gestational period for the song to be written and recorded, through the tumultuous lives of the two who gave it voice, the repeated controversies over the song's language, and much much more. We wish you a belated happy holidays and the most merciful of new years.
