Performance tip
Assign the two characters before the song begins and agree on how strongly to play the argument. The duet works when the insults feel theatrical, not genuinely uncomfortable.
Should you sing it?
Try “Fairytale of New York” when both people are ready to give the other singer room. The song feels most convincing when the delivery sounds natural and committed. Look elsewhere if one singer expects to carry everything.
