It’s Aaron back again, helping JJ get through the Advent Calender without losing his will to live. Mostly. I’m not entirely sure my last entry had any sort of sanity related to it and this one is no different!

JJ has told me on many previous occasions that his favourite Christmas song ever ever ever ever is Fairytale of New York by The Pogues and Kirsty McColl. And sure, ’tis a mighty song indeed. But it wasn’t the only version of that song that I grew up with.

Dustin The Turkey is a household name here in Ireland. Known as much as, if not more than, The Pogues themselves. He’s had a television career spanning 20 years and even represented us in the Eurovision song contest. He also can’t sing.

Dervla Kirwan is an actress. She also can’t sing.

Together they combined in 1997 to create a… memorable… version of the legendary song. And now, I get to share my pain.

Sorry JJ.

Today is the most important day of Advent, for it is the “invent” of me! Ha! Puns!

Enough of that. However, it also happens that my favorite Christmas song is also Scrooge approved. Today is all about me, so it is also all about this song…

And although it is a perfect song and should never be covered, there is one exception to that rule. Over at FRED entertainment Ken Plume somehow manages to get the Venture Bros. cast to do a Christmas song every year. This one is from a few years ago, and it is simply magical.
