If you get whammed, post here and tag myself (@Daniel) so I get a notification and can promptly update it

Ah damn, there it is, heard the bells, the reaper is here. Peace out. At least I now don't have to sit in fear all of the Work Party tonight. :(

Just got Whammed
@Daniel

I know @TB has been doing much of the updating but I expect a Daniel tag would have at least helped either of them out a bit. 👍
 
Got hit again today in the same place, this time it was actually the whole song playing. And this time I had no choice but to be in the store.
 
I thought I was going to get whammed when I was in my friends dorm and she was playing some Christmas songs off a Spotify playlist. Luckily I was spared, but then I fell asleep, and woke up.

In fear that it may have played while I was asleep, I scrolled through the playlist, but fortunately it was not in it. Though can I say the real Hard Mode would be not hearing that damn Mariah Carey song even once during Christmas. It might as well be impossible unless you bar yourself up in your home for winter.

Rule clarification, can you be whammed if the song played in your presence, but you were asleep?
 
Thankfully, my dad hates Christmas music so he avoids it on the radio like a plague. Thankfully, this will have been the last time I had to go anywhere for the month since my other finals are online. Just hoping that the science channel or the Food network don't hit me with ad featuring the damn thing now that the song is actually present in Dallas/FT Worth.

Think it only counts if you actually hear it so it seems to apply if you were awake.
 
It's clear, trust me, you need to watch it
I can resist. My motivation for playing this game is a pure one, I just don't want to hear the song or anything reminiscent of it. The fact that I'm already Whammed doesn't diminish that.

While I'm here, I received my 3rd Whamming of the season (4th of the whole year) the other day. A poisoned radio made my ears sick.
 
Have you checked that for any Wham? As it's supposed to be a safe haven in this thread.
I'm not sure what the actual limitations are for Wham or not, but this is just the music with him singing over it, no George.

If it's the original music, as played by the band then I'm pretty sure that would count. The OP does suggest that if sufficient warning is given then you'd probably be ok to leave it there.
Do not post any links to the song in this thread without sufficient warning. This place is a safe haven.
 
The video is a cover. If we don't count the Taylor Swift cover, we don't count that.

Anyone who is doubting the video obviously hasn't seen anything Jon Sudano has ever made. Trust me, it's hilarious (and not a Wham!)
 
@Daniel or @TB

Got whammed in a WhatsApp groupchat, a friend sent a funny video until the I heard those dreaded tones and all "funny" disappeared.

In his defense he was unaware of this contest, because otherwise he and the others in the group would have probably tried to Wham me.

Either way might be a good time to find new friends.

I haven't watched it but if there's no Wham! then there's no Wham!

Well, that didn't happen. :lol:
Yesterday was the aftermath of too much whisky and being half dead at work so I didn't have the time either. :P I should have the time later today though. 👍
 
I was going to participate in this year's GTPlanet vs. Wham, but I feel like it's too late and I already got Whammed. 3 times. Oh well, I might try again next year.
 
Just remembered that this happened a few years ago :lol:

(apologies for the "news"paper website I got the article from)
 
Supermarkets and convenience stores are playing All I Want For Christmas is You here in Osaka...which scares me cause who knows when they'll start calling George's number....
 
@Daniel

Went to a party. Expected Wham! Received said Wham!

Lasted over a month longer than last year, I'll take it. :lol:
