Whamageddon 2020

edited November 2021 in The subforum of Christmas Past
Has anyone heard of this? Basically, it's a competition to see how long you can last throughout December without hearing the original version of Last Christmas by Wham. Last year we did this and there were a few winners.  I wonder how many people will be able to get all the way through the challenge. 

Here are the rules.

1. The objective is to go as long as possible without hearing Wham's Christmas Classic "Last Christmas"
2. The game starts on 1st December (sorry that I posted this up late) and ends at midnight on December 24th. 
3. Only the original version applies. Enjoy the #!€#%!€%€& out of remixes and covers!
4. You are out as soon as you recognise the song.

    I'm still in! Survived a trip to the supermarket which was a risky business!

    @Liam - I think last year we allowed unconscious trips to Whamhalla - if you didn't know you were playing a game, think that is fair enough to give you a free pass :3

    I got through a visit to Co op with out hearing it, realised I forgot the very thing I went there for in the first place, went back and there it was playing :(

    I also got Whammed last night :scream: was flicking through the channels and they played it on Christmas First Dates. I considered ignoring it because it was just the instrumental, however checked the rules and it doesn't matter. At least I get to listen to it now and not live in fear of hearing it!

    Also, @Eleanor - that was the whamageddon equivalent of this.

    I am really proud of everyone's determination on here with Whamageddon. Currently still surviving which is surprising when I have been listening to Christmas music at school and at gymnastics.

    Does it count if it’s a cover
  • DancerDancer Community Champion Posts: 8,104 Legendary Poster
    Only the original version counts. Remixes and covers are allowed.
