Whamageddon (Last) Christmas

[MGibster]

And just like that! I'm out. I was scrolling on the YouTubes when I came across a Batman short. Joker is making fun of Absolute Batman and Last Christmas was the background music. At first I wasn't sure if it was a cover, but when the lyrics kicked in I knew I'd be whammed. That's okay. I like Last Christmas.

The Christmas “music” in the supermarket this morning was so terrible it made we long for Wham!

I’m surprised nobody has started “Whamrolling”.

The imp on my shoulder suggested it, but I decided I like winning less than not being evil.

I haven't heard it yet, and I won't be seeking it out. But I am looking forward to hearing it. Makes me think of my dad, who thought it was the best "modern" Christmas song, despite not being a fan of 80s music.

I am going to a Christmas party at a restaurant tonight. I predict my chances of Whamaggedon survival are... low.

I'm out. Buckets the Drummer got me.

I am going to a Christmas party at a restaurant tonight. I predict my chances of Whamaggedon survival are... low.

Good luck. I thought I'd be missing my staff party due to travel, but then our schedule changed and now I'm going, so my odds just got a lot lower, as well.

 

[Morrus]

I survived!

I thought I was cooked after hearing George Michael's voice this afternoon, but it was just Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go. Phew!

My understanding is:

• As soon as you realize you're listening to Last Christmas by Wham, you're out.
• Covers don't count.

So logic clearly dictates that if you think you're hearing the song, you might as well listen some more just in case it turns out to be a cover, like this version by Ukrainian band No Apology:

And if you're still not sure whether it was a cover, load up the original on YouTube or your app of choice to do a side-by-side comparison. That way you'll know for sure whether you're out.
