I just heard an ABOMINABLY bad version of Fairytale of New York

Couldn't believe how awful it was. It entirely missed the tone and--more importantly--the tone of the original. Bob Schneider should publicly apologize to Shane McGowan and the ghost of Kirsty McColl.

What gets into people's heads when they set out to release a half-assed cover of an established song?
