It's odd isn't it keberoxu? The words 'drunk tank' and 'slut on junk' repulse me, as I absolutely hate what alcohol and drugs do to people.
And the musicians playing on the video are smoking themselves to death; the air is thick with it.
Yet it must rank as one of my all-time favourite Crimbo songs.

I do think there's a real Irish flavour to the tune and the words though. I think the 'boys of the NYPD' are mostly Irish aren't they?

I also love 'Stop The Cavalry', which is about War and its horrors. But such a catchy tune.
