It's a great song! I'm not sure who he's referring to as a "cheap lousy faggot" though. I always thought it was his lady friend, but I might be wrong.
I don't think it should be banned. I've never known anyone who's been offended by it, and I have friends of all sexual orientations.

That would be a shame.
Its a great song.
Its a step too far for me, and some of my best friends are f...... oops! Gay.

Reading that some people want to ban The Pogues Fairytale of New York because it contains the word Faggot I got to thinking that weren't Faggots some sort of meatball.
From the North of England I think, never had them as my Dad seemingly hated them.
I did a quick poll of my gay friends and none of them are remotely offended.
A step to far ?????
