It's uncanny. The guy sounds exactly like Oirish Rover.

Strangely that was my first thought too.

One Question....

WHY !?!?!?!?!?!?!!?
:roll: :roll: :roll:

It's a fun song that they've always wanted to play?

Their cover of it is much less painful than many others on this thread.

Fairytale of New York Catherine Tate and George Michael


Oh for fuck's sake! This man wrote "Careless Whisper" and "Jesus To A Child". Why George, why?


I hear on his last tour he also covered, This Mortal Coil (The Cocteau Twins) - Song to the Siren (I know it's a Tim Buckley song but I prefer The Cocteau Twins version)

Dustin Kensrue recorded FONY for his upcoming Christmas album This Good Night Is Still Everywhere.
His version is streamed on his site now (kick green ball on that wreath)

I haven't heard this version and I don't plan to ... I'll take Mike's word that it is bad. But I don't think it is bad just because it has the lyrics screwed up. I think a person doing a cover has a bit of license to personalize the song they are singing a bit, no?



Um......nope. Not if they are wilfully changing the writers' intentions, in which case they need to get the writers' permissions. Unfortunately, there's no real way of dealing with a spot of infantile laughter before the word "faggot".
