Pavarotti singing “Moon River” is pretty bad, too…

I just searched for and bought the Pogues’ song “Fairytale of New York” (in my view one of the best Christmas songs in recent years) from iTunes. Mucho yuletide-y goodness for 99¢ and one of the all-time best Christmas song opening lines:

It was Christmas Eve babe
In the drunk tank

You can discover all sorts of surprises—both good and bad—when you use iTune’s Search function. For me, one of the worst was this version of “Fairytale”. (For those without iTunes, in short: The Irish Tenors. Ouch.)
