The theme song for the television show SpongeBob SquarePants has a shanty-like call and response structure and begins with a melodic phrase that matches the traditional " Blow the Man Down ," presumably because the character “ lives in a pineapple under the sea .” An example of a more tenuous link between a new composition labeled as “ shanty ” and the salient characteristics of the genre, The Pogues recorded a song called “ Sea Shanty .” The only characteristic it appears to share with the shanty genre is a 6 / 8 meter ( displayed by some well known shanties like “ Blow the Man Down ”).

BBC Radio 1 caused controversy by editing the word " faggot " from their broadcasts of the Kirsty MacColl & The Pogues song " Fairytale of New York ," deeming it potentially homophobic ; however, the edit did not extend to other BBC stations, such as BBC Radio 2.

Donleavy's later books spell out the aftermath ( particularly A Fairy Tale of New York, which later inspired Shane MacGowan's song " Fairytale of New York ", recorded by The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl ).

The Pogues made a song about the stadium and its demolition, called White City.

" Fairytale of New York " is a song by the Celtic punk group The Pogues, released in 1987 and featuring the British singer Kirsty MacColl.

The song is an Irish folk style ballad, written by Jem Finer and Shane MacGowan, and featured on The Pogues ' album If I Should Fall from Grace with God.

The song was originally planned as a duet by Shane MacGowan and Pogues bassist Cait O ' Riordan, but O ' Riordan left the band in 1986 before the song was completed.

The Pogues were at the time being produced by Kirsty MacColl's then husband Steve Lillywhite, who asked his wife to provide a guide vocal of the female part for a demo version of the song.

On December 17, 1987, the Pogues and MacColl performed the song on the BBC's popular television show Top of the Pops, and it was propelled to # 2 on the official UK Top 75.

The Pogues have a song titled " Hell's Ditch ," which contains references to the novel.

The Pogues are a Celtic punk band from London, formed in 1982 and fronted by Shane MacGowan.

Shortening their name to " The Pogues " ( partly due to BBC censorship following complaints from Gaelic speakers in Scotland ) they released their first album Red Roses for Me on Stiff Records that October.

The reunited Pogues played dates in the UK with support from the Dropkick Murphys in late 2005, and re-released their 1987 Christmas classic " Fairytale of New York " on 19 December, which went straight in at No. 3 in the UK Singles charts on Christmas Day 2005, showing the song's enduring popularity.

He grew more lucid and powerful as the evening gathered steam, through two hours and 26 songs, mostly from the Pogues ' first three ( and best ) albums ".

In December 2010 the Pogues ( with support from Crowns ) played what was billed as a farewell UK Christmas tour.

In August 2012, The Pogues embarked on a 30th anniversary Summer 2012 8-city European tour scheduled from 4 August 2012 at the Stockton Weekender Festival in Stockton-on-Tees, UK to 11 & 12 September 2012 at L ' Olympia, Paris, two shows to be filmed and recorded for a live album and DVD.

And so, looking back to these performers, later Irish-oriented rock groups like The Pogues interpreted traditional shanties and sea songs like “ South Australia ” and “ The Greenland Whale Fisheries .” A notable instance where many non-maritime music performers tackled the traditional maritime repertoire stems from the actor Johnny Depp ’ s reported interest in shanties that developed while filming Pirates of the Caribbean.

MacGowan drew upon his Irish heritage when founding The Pogues and changed his early " punk " voice for a more authentic sound with tutoring from his extended family.

The Pogues and MacGowan reformed for a sell-out tour in 2001 and each year from 2004 to 2009 for further tours, including headline slots at Guilfest in England and the Azkena Rock Festival in Spain.

Strummer occasionally joined MacGowan and The Pogues on stage ( and briefly replaced MacGowan as lead singer after his sacking from the band ).

Mark Deming of Allmusic gave Red Roses for Me three and a half out of five stars, calling it " good and rowdy fun ", but felt that " on Rum Sodomy & the Lash and If I Should Fall from Grace with God, the Pogues would prove that they were capable of a lot more than that ".

The Pogues ' style of punked-up Irish music spawned and influenced a number of Celtic punk bands, including fellow London-Irish band Neck, Nyah Fearties from Scotland, and Australia's Roaring Jack.
