Whamaggeddon — who’s still in?

I have never hears of this glorious ceremony you all speak of.

That, and I was likely out on December 1st. I'll have to try next year.

Got Whammed Saturday night out to eat at Kowloon (a venerable Massachusetts institution- 60s style Chinese/polynesian tiki-themed restaurant).

I have only learnt about this in 2022. I guess, I'm still in. Not watching TV or listening to the radio apparently helps.

Never heard of this, and I actually like the song, personally. But I have to say, I’m in the same boat as delericho. I’ve heard the Backstreet Boys’ version twice in the past 3 days. The video is occasionally being played on MTV-U, along with other modern Christmas songs.

Oh, FWIW, here’s a list of “landmines” for you- verified vocal and instrumental covers of the song:

Last Christmas by Wham!

Wham! originally released Last Christmas written by George Michael and Wham! released it on the single Last Christmas in 1984. It was also covered by Smokestack Lightning [US2], Raunchy, Chic Gamine, The Texas Tenors and other artists.

As previously noted, thankfully covers don't count.

I'm still in! This is a personal best; I'm normally out in the first week of December.

The only real danger is when I go out. There's 0 chance of getting Whammed at home. Alas, I have at least 2 more trips to the local shopping mall before the finish line. Plus an Xmas BBQ, plus seeing band, plus just being out in the world. So this is what living life on the edge is like!

Supermarket shopping, got whammed

Last year I made it, and this year I'm still good. Got close for a second, as I was in the car an on the radio I saw "Wham Last Christmas" displayed but the DJ was still talking and hadn't started it yet, so I was able to move off it.

I wasn't even trying, but I didn't hear it until yesterday. I still haven't heard Christmas Wrapping by the Waitresses yet.
