It's almost as if the n-word has historical implications to it or something. I don't like rap music so I don't really know how common it is in songs, but I'm almost certain this is the only song with "faggot" in it. Incidentally, it's not only used for gay guys:

Alongside its use to refer to gay men in particular, it may also be used as a pejorative term for a "repellent male" [and it] may also be used as a generic insult, for example, "idiot", although more offensive in nature.

I see that it can be very divisive. Let's see what the TiBB consensus is.

It's okay. It seems to me too much of a drinking song, and about the effects of alcohol to like that much, though, when I think about it, I can appreciate that it is actually about something, and tells a story.

I like the Always On My Mind cover by the Pet Shop Boys, that beat it to Number One, better.

My favourite Christmas song is Do They Know It's Christmas? by Band Aid.

[LaLaLand]

Love it! The ultimate "it's Crimbo we're all pissed let's have a sing song" song.

[Scarlett.]

It's way overrated.

[Niamh.]

Love It, it's my favourite Christmas song

[Ant.]

Second only to "All I Want for Christmas is You", Third to "Grandma Got Ran over By a Reindeer"

[Ashley.]

What NIamh said, my favourite.

[Daniel.]

Yes a bop

[Firewire]

Not sure how that makes a difference but w/e

[Glenn.]

It’s my favourite

[Crimson Dynamo]

vile, just like the Pogues

I can take it or leave it ,definitely NOT the best Xmas song though imo.

[joeysteele]

It's okay, like its melody.
Not one I'd listen to much however, never been a liked Christmas song of mine.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Give me Cliff anyday

[Crimson Dynamo]

[Jamie89]

[EspeonBB]

It's OK, but Mariah and Wham have the best Xmas songs

I really hope Wham get #1 this year <3

Maybe I'm just a fossil but most of my favourites are on Bing Crosby's album haha..... his Rudoloph with Ella Fitzgerald is epic.
