Track Description
Available in:
"A Rainy Night in Soho" is a song by The Pogues released in 1986, originally included on their Poguetry in Motion EP.
Two recordings and various mixes of the song were made in the studio. Songwriter Shane MacGowan and producer Elvis Costello clashed over the final mix of the song, with MacGowan preferring a mix featuring a cornet, and Costello preferring a version with oboe.
A video was filmed for the song. It shows Shane MacGowan with short beard, cool shades and leather jacket singing into a 1950s styled mic; the black-and-white footage is mixed with flicks from the protagonist's childhood and frames from night-time London (Soho). Finally Shane dances the waltz with his girlfriend before a burning fire. The song has been covered by Bono and Johnny Depp.
Nick Cave recorded the song as a B-side to Cave and MacGowan's 1992 duet of "What a Wonderful World". Cave sang the song again at MacGowan's funeral in December 2023 with slightly altered lyrics.
