As my teenage son put it "It's the last word many of us hear before they kick us in the head". After that, last year, my (straight) 12 year old son stood up in class as it was playing in school a insisted the teacher remove the song from class. Proud mum.

Fairy Tale Of NY is on of my favourite songs. Not least because I love MaCcoll! I've never been *offended* by the line. But, when you put it like that, I can see the problem!

If you like the song, but hate the offending lyric, this cover is just brilliant! (with added Scottish humour)https://youtu.be/2nbwRHALHMg

It’s not. It’s sung in character. Get offended by actual inequalities, not by music.
