Whamageddon (Last) Christmas

[Lidgar]

Last Christmas is like the ninja of Christmas songs. Or maybe the Spanish Inquisition….

Nah. Everybody expects Last Christmas.

Haven't heard it yet, looking forward to doing so.

I started singing Feliz Navidad to myself yesterday after seeing the first lot of public decorations in the council gardens - haven't heard Last Christmas yet

I heard someone singing "Fleas on my dog" and I can't unhear it.

Does it count if it’s now stuck in my head even if I haven’t heard it with my ears yet?

The psychological damage is done but you don't get credit for 2025.

The girlfriend and I put up our Christmas Tree yesterday and we were playing Christmas music while doing so. I purposefully played Steven Page's version (Along with some other tracks from Barenaked Ladies' Xmas album.)

Listened to it again in the car today on my way to work. Just saw this thread and now I feel bad.

Oh well. I guess this year I'll save myself some tears by not even having to try.

Oh yeah, I forgot about this. Yeah, so far I've avoided it, but I do know it's one of my wife's favorites so it's probably not going to be a long Whamaggedon for me

Only the original counts. You’re still in it.

Still haven't heard it! It's too bad though... George Michael gets a bad rap because of his Wham days. Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1 is a fantastic album.

I've been playing this game with a different song for years: 2000 Miles by the Pretenders. The difference between that game and this is that 2000 Miles is actually a beautiful song, and I look forward to hearing it at the mall, in the car, etc.

I suppose you could also play this with Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas is You (not linking to it, you're welcome), but that song is so ubiquitous that trying to dodge it would be the end level boss of Whamageddon.
