The Obligatory “Last Christmas” Post
If you have a soul and have any interest in the holidays, you know that “Last Christmas” by Wham! is the most epic and crucial song of the season. It’s 25 years old this year (damn, right?) and every Christmas song released since then is just wasting its time.
That said, here’s some essential “Last Christmas” goodness.
The video for “Last Christmas,” an epic tale of love and lust and longing and jealousy and snow and mid-’80s hair and Christmas.
Next up is the literal version of “Last Christmas” by 2xfun.de on YouTube. It’s not quite as awesome as the literal version of “Total Eclipse of the Heart,” but it’s pretty funny.
Behold: last-christmas.com, a blog containing 430 covers of “Last Christmas.” That’s over 30 hours of different versions of ONE SONG. If there’s a genre or style you’d want to hear “Last Christmas” in, odds are you’ll find it there. I found the site 2 years ago and they’ve been keeping it updated with new covers and continued blasts of WHAM!-tastic magnificence. Dig in!
George Michael and the other guy from Wham!, I salute you.
