Jon Bon Jovi has been widely criticised for his version of Fairytale of New York in which he changes some of the controversial lyrics of the Christmas classic. Released as part of a three-track EP of seasonal songs, the American singer at times lapses into a faux-Irish accent accent as he sings the parts of both Shane MacGowan and Kirsty MacColl.
The much-discussed “cheap lousy faggot” line has replaced with “you've lost all your swagger”.
