For some reason, everytime I see that image I get the song stuck in my head but with an indian voice singing it.

It's better that George Michael tbh

Anything sounds more entertaining with an Indian accent; there is automatic and ironic parody in the tone. George Michael doesn't stand a chance.
The thing is . . . this particular song has become more of a Christmas 'anthem' than Silenr Night.

Someone was talking about Dubai? I used to go shopping there (lived in Sharjah at the time.) Dubai makes Beverly Hills looks like the slums. You bet they will be playing more than Feliz Navidad; Jose will be competing with George.
And if Shem heard it in a little village in China, you can bet wherever tinsal balls are hung the coccus will be up and about looking for cochlea.
 
@kolio @catamount39 and I are the Whambusters. However, I think one of us (maybe both) are just trying to lull people into a false sense of security...

<- whilst this is not Wham, it is possibly panic attack inducing if heard. And it has played already... The end is near for me.

I definitely had an "oh crap" moment when I heard a cover last year, but then I laughed when I realized it was a cover.

I am not trying to send people into a false sense of security.

I am the Lifegaurd of Wham! Lagoon.
 
So I went to a major mall up in Greenville; already, they have Christmas decorations, music, even Santa already displayed.

Went inside JCPenny and guess what hit me?

Christmas music.

I DIDN'T GET WHAMMED. I bet you were anticipating my Whamassacre. Well, ha ha to you, salty person.
 
Deliberately Whamming self to get out of the stress of this whole debacle. I got through two (or was it three?) years in a row. Not going through that again.

@Daniel
 
It's only a matter of time for me. The bar I stumble in and out of on weekends is guaranteed to play it at some point.

Maybe not until December.
 
Watched a bit of normal TV before realising I am risking far too much as the film on was an xmas one... Returned to shell soon after.
 
Oh snap. That rock radio station change wasn't permanent.

Wham is now imminent.
 
Apologies for the lack of an update so far. I've got my last set of exams for this semester in the next few days. I'll make sure to update by Thursday afternoon (NZDT), unless a mod's happy to update.
 
WHAM!

I was in a meeting at work when I heard the production staff in the room over start up their Christmas song playlist. I thought that my meeting may end and I could get away before anything malicious happened. It was only very faint too, I couldn't hear it whilst the meeting was in full flow, but then there was a small lull and I heard the unmistakable twinkling of fate, and George freaking Michael. Followed by the hissing of my blood boiling over.

I have yet to be survive a Christmas so I'm used to this feeling. I lasted quite well last year though so there was a glimmer of hope that I could go even better in 2015. My goal has shifted somewhat though, and I would like to know the feeling of whamming someone else! :mischievous:

Atleast you didnt get Whammed at McDonald's like i did last year, after i got my braces off. :lol:
 
For the first time in my four year stay in GTPlanet, I am taking up the challenge! :D
 
Luckily where I shop, Last Christmas never plays :P.

Currently just waiting for Jordan's attempt of Whamming us.
My body is (not) ready for whatever plan Jordan has. Last year, I never heard Last Christmas in public either. I heard a cover once or twice elsewhere, but that's it.
 
I mean't to post last time I was here but forgot, I'm in again, been on alert since the thread popped up.
 
Whamnesia strikes when you are least aware.
It could be just garbage bags you want. Simple thing - pop in to the Dollarama next to the giant Chinese Food Mart, since I was already shopping for fish at the aforesaid China shop.
Maybe even check out if Dollarama has any new MBXs (they usually have the odd model no one else has.)

The Chinese supermarket had lulled me into whamnesia by playing some jolly, tinkly, soothing sort of music, the kind that's sort of there but no one remembers what it was except that it wasn't heavy metal. or jazz, or classical, or blues, or hip-hop . . . it was just chinese. Soothing. like, shop all you want, nothing to worry, the crane is in the bamboo, the fish are jumping happily in the sun, spend your money sort of music.

Then into the swirl of shoppers in Dollarama and as I went off to the toy aisle (garbage bags later) I hear Christmas music! For the first time this season - and it's still a day away to Rememberence day. Stations, as a tradition, don't play seasonal music till that's over.
The speaker is set into the ceiing right above the pegs holding the HWs and MBxs.
Whamalerts go off like electric shocks right through my whole body. Part of me wants to flee, the other part is grabbing a peg and won't let go.
It's someone singing Twelve Days of Christmas. In an odd fashion, then a voice over for some product. It's an ad! Damn the station - they don't play Christmas music but allow their use for ads anyway.
Then they start playing some afro-rock. Good. About two minutes to grab some cars and get out of there.
Which I did. Forget the garbage bags.
Looks like the Whamarama has begun. :irked:

From now on - I'm shopping Chinese.
