One of my all-time favorite songs was featured in a Subaru commercial called “Hockey Mom.” The Pogues song “If I Should Fall From Grace With God” is the title track from their phenomenal 1988 album.

Two songs you must add to your holiday rotation.

Although I loves me some Bing Crosby, I don’t listen to traditional Christmas music all that much. There are two songs in my music library that I always revisit each year, however – “Christmas Card From A Hooker In Minneapolis” by Tom Waits and “Fairytale of New York” by The Pogues. Both are lyrical masterpieces.

Here are live videos of each along with two quality covers of the songs by other artists. Happy Holidays.

The Pogues – Fairytale of New York
