Whamageddon


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whamageddon

It's a game where you try to avoid hearing "Last Christmas" by Wham! during the holiday season (or December 1 to 24.) If you hear it, you lose.

Ever heard about this game?

This game is better.

If you hear this song in the wild, you win:

Nice try!

No, but I've heard and seen the "chicken game"

It's a picture of a chicken, you see it you loose

No, but last Christmas I was sitting in the Chicago Union Station for a couple hours waiting for a train, and encountered a horrible phenomenon - being forced to listen to all the 'contemporary' hip-hop Christmas slag that now counts for contemporary 'holiday music'.

It was simply appalling. WITF happened to my holiday - and I'm an atheist, mind you. But the aesthetics are just in the toilet now.

I really dislike that WHAM! song!

I do like the infamous and roundly hated Mariah Carey Christmas song which probably makes me a weirdo😬

reply

Wish me luck, I'm going to play the game starting tomorrow! I won't go to great efforts to avoid "Last Christmas" though - I'll still play Christmas music on the radio. Just hope the hosts don't send me to Whamhalla!

If I lose I will post it here.

During lunch, mom asked me to turn on the radio. (I agreed because I'm playing the game casually anyway.) First thing that I hear is...you guessed it.

I am now in Whamhalla for December 2024!

reply

My daughter heard it today during lunch at school, so she’s out (Dec 04, approximately 12.30pm GMT).

I’m still in the running.

Don't fail!
