Geoff Wallis	Fairytale of New York censored by Beeb! (171* d)	RE: Fairytale of New York censored by Beeb!	18 Dec 07
There are numerous cover versions, several of which involve self-censorship by the musicians concerned. There are two plausible candidates for the worst version. 1) The blessed St Ronan of Keating's offering changed 'cheap lousy faggot' to 'you're cheap and you're haggard' and his accomplice in the crime was Máire (aka Moya) Brennan of Clannad. It sold like lead courgettes. 2) The Irish Tenors' rendition omitted the crucial verse concerned, all in the interest of maintaining the trio's clean-living, chicken-in-a-basket and send-them-home-to-their-mums-in-clean-underwear audience.
