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?

reply

I avoid Wham all year long so it's easy. Awful pop music.

reply

It will strike when you least suspect it!

reply

I dunno. I had no idea those fools ever did a Christmas song.

reply

It charts regularly every December internationally - there’s no escaping it 😱

reply

If I ever heard it I was thankfully unaware it was him. I wonder if he ever sang it when he was cruising public toilets?

reply

Probably Careless Wrister 😳

reply

Christmas night at 7:04. Do I win something for making it all the way to Christmas Day?

reply

You can buy a badge saying you were successful. Other than that, bragging rights I guess?

reply

I like the badge idea. A badge with George Michael's face on it. With his 1984 hair.

reply

That would be a great badge! But I don't think that's what the Whamageddon subreddit is selling...but I'm sure you can find it elsewhere, hopefully!

Awesome! Looks great!

Made it until the 20th this year. Thought I was in the clear as I wasn't going out anymore. But NO! Stoney had to pick Carry On (2024) to watch during the movie club and that knocked me out.

reply

You tried! You did make it much farther than I did, though!

reply

I have won twice over the last 12 years. 3 times if I count 2020, but I don't count 2020.

reply

I’ve been listening to Classic
country, Classic Rock, Ozzy’s
Boneyard and Hair nation on the satellite radio…I am thus far not compromised👍

reply

You made it this year! Game ends at the end of the 24th.

reply

Yay!

Always best to go to the mattresses and hide out when there’s trouble or bad pop music involved😳!

reply

I made it!!!

reply

Congrats!

reply

Me too!!!


Oh and…

‘Last Christmas, I gave you my heart,
The very next day you gave it away.

This year, to save me from tears,
I’ll give it to someone special.’


*sorry Bro, had to do this and now it’s stuck in your head😳
