It's been covered by a bunch of people. Tracy Ullman had a pretty big hit with it

I didn't know about this...
I always associate Kirsty MaColl with Fairytale of New York, by the Pogues.

Great tune.
Those are McColl's background on Tracy Ullman's version.

Were you listening to the 80s on 8 countdown on XM by any chance?

I listen to it on demand when I bike. And it is repeated on the channel pretty much all week.

This is so bizarre - a few weeks ago that song/video was very randomly but partially, in my head. I googled around to find and remember the Tracy Ullman video from I think her show or another (mid 80s?).
Since that time, I’ve been bombarded with this very random song in various ways. Please help me n

But she didn't write New England, Billy Bragg did, she had a hit with it though

Didn't say she "wrote" it; just that the ditty was hers, and a good one.
