He recorded it with the Popes for The Snake, with Sinead O’Connor doing the female vocals.
Go ahead and watch it- the insights into Shane and his family are very cool, as well as an early history of the Pogues. If you love the music, you’ll love the film, even if it makes you a bit sad…
Could I watch it with the picture off?
Or (along with the song Junk) on the soundtrack to “Sid and Nancy.”
The Pogues also contributed a number of tracks to the soundtrack for “Straight to Hell,” including a few instrumentals, Rake at the Gates of Hell (which I’ve only seen as a Shane MacGowan and the Popes release otherwise), and a slowed-down, slightly more countryish version of If I Should Fall From Grace With God.
If I Should Fall From Grace With God is far and away my favorite album, and “Lullaby of London” is very dear to my heart. It’s just a gorgeous song.
All of these and more are available on the Pogues box set Just Look Them Straight in the Eye And Say Pogue Mahone!, 5 discs of outtakes and rarities. Expensive, but essential for fans.
RS&TL is my favorite Pogues album, especially since they included the Poguetry in Motion EP on the Rhino reissue. “London Girl”, “Rainy Night in Soho” and “The Body of An American” fit on there quite nicely.
Oh yeah, forgot to address the OP. If I Should Fall From Grace With God is my favorite Pogues album with Rum Sodomy and the Lash a close second, but it’s hard to go wrong with any of them. I like Hell’s Ditch, and even Waiting for Herb has its moments, although MacGowan’s absence really puts it in another category. I think Miller hit the bullseye on that one - it’s a good Spider Stacy album rather than the Pogues.
If you’re buying CDs instead of downloading them, make sure you get the more recent remastered editions - each album has some additional material that the original releases didn’t. They’re mostly traditional songs (the Irish Rover, Mountain Dew, Leaving of Liverpool, etc.), and they’re well worth having.
That looks amazing! Now I have to scrape together an extra $100 from somewhere.
Of course I have that DVD too. 
My CDs are the first pressings, so I don’t get the extras. I do have Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah and The Very Best Of…, which have tracks I didn’t otherwise get.

People seem interested in pointing out places “Haunted” has appeared since I mentioned it upthread. Other places:
The duet version with Sinéad O’Connor was also used in “The Matchmaker” (and had another Popes song). Also used in the “Two If By Sea” soundtrack. Both films starred Dennis Leary. Maybe a fan of the song as well?
The Atlanta women’s band Amanda Jones did an excellent cover way back when. (Which is impossible to find apparently.)
So I’m listening to RRfM right now, not that I ever need an excuse to listen to the Pogues.
I remember how my friends and I couldn’t figure out the chorus of Poor Paddy. Cordouroy britches? OK. Digging ditches? OK. Pulling switches? OK. Dodging- what? Bitches? Itches? Wha??
It must have been a year before somebody figured out it was hitches. I :smack: ed myself when he told me, I had recently watched a show on trains that discussed the dangerous method of hitching train cars by hand. It noted you could always tell an inexperienced (railroad) fireman because he still had all of his fingers.
The Snake is probably my favourite Shane McGowan song, although there are so many great ones.
I start almost every shift on the ambulance with “The Turkish Song of the Damned.” 
If I worked in an ambulance, I probably would too. 
It is one of my all-time favourite songs …
It just sets a nice tone for the night, too
Certainly a better tone than this one:

Rum, Sodomy & Fall From Grace w/ God are their two best, in my opinion. If I had to pick one song that really highlights MacGowan’s talent as a songwriter, I’d pick The Broad Majestic Shannon.
Damn, I love the Pogues. Caught the Low & Sweet Orchestra when they came through Athens, GA more than a decade ago, and my very young son just got his hands on the CD & cracked it in half. Bummer.
My favorite part of that song is the bit with the robots.
I didn’t know that song.
