I'm not sure the planet (or at least the people on it) will survive to November 2025.

Last Christmas...

General Rules and Guidelines:

• Survive the remainder of 2024 (i.e. 23:59.59 in your time zone) without listening to All I Want For Christmas Is You by Mariah Carey
• Only the original song performed by Mariah Carey counts. Remixes, covers and the duet version with Justin Bieber don't count.
• Hearing any part of the song counts as getting Carey'd. If you're unsure whether it's a remix or the duet version, keep listening to find out, or use apps such as Shazam or Google Assistant. If you're still not sure, it may be in good faith to consider yourself out.
• GIFs, still images or muted video do not count.
• When you hear the music, consider yourself Carey'd, out of the competition..
• Do not post any links to the song in this thread without sufficient warning. This place is a safe haven.
• While the rest of the site is free rein, keep in mind the site's rules regarding misleading (next bullet point)
• You will not knowingly post any material that is false, misleading, or inaccurate.
• If you play the link in the OP with any intention outside of refreshing your memory (i.e. playing it over Discord or a PlayStation party), you will be Carey'd if you hear it.

Some tips to avoid the song:

• Do not trust anyone.
• Avoid shopping at department stores, clothing stores, supermarkets - anything that may have a radio playing.
• If you must step outside, consider bringing noise-isolating earphones and play loud music on them to avoid any other songs.
• Do not trust anyone.
• Have your computer defaulted to 'mute' and make sure that your volume is off while opening any links.
• Do not talk to any other GTPers using Discord, Facebook, gaming voice chat, social media, or open any musical Christmas cards physically sent to them. We are all evil and cannot be trusted.

If you haven't yet heard the song, just click on the video below to watch it before avoiding it until next year.

Count me in. Haven't heard it yet.

You heard it here first folks, Famine is hinting at signalling the end times before we get GTA VI.

GTA 6 will probably cause the end-times all by itself, simply by the massive demands on electricity from everyone on the planet playing it simultaneously.

Fallout New Vegas is GTA6.

[stpatty]

I made it all the way to the 2nd this year. I don't think I lasted 36 hours total. Very disappointing.

 

[Chris30]

I'm not entirely sure you get this game.

It's just the one specific song - the original All I Want for Christmas is You, by Mariah Carey - and when you're out you're out. There's no "for now" about it.

I do understand it, it's just too bad I didn't just stayed home, now I'm out for good. All because I went to a drugstore.

That sounds like a challenge. Count me in.

 

[CTznOfTime]

what if i heard it, but i wasn't even consciously aware that i heard it, it happens that you could be totally immune to the song, and even when you hear it, you dont realize that it was the song that you are supposed to avoid...

it shouldn't count, right ?

especially if you dont remember or forget about it, right ? you would still be in the game...



.... but if much later, much later, you realizes about it, and you remember you heard it... then you could still be in the game right....

I promise I started to as this same question lol. I can see myself out drinking and someone mentioned got played after the fact. I thought about it. The definition of "hearing" is the faculty of perceiving sounds. Therefore, if you did not preceive it, you didn't hear it.

 

[OJBrit]

If a man speaks and there is nobody around to hear are they still wrong?

 

[UKMikey]

What is the sound of one sleighbell ringing?

 

[TB]

If a Carey Bear poops in the woods...

 

[PuffelPizza]

Sign me up if possible.

 

[MrHorsepower]

Please sign me up for the challenge, if possible. Thank you!

 

[UKMikey]

I'm beginning to think signing up on November 2nd was a mistake. Maybe I better delay next year, if possible to December 21st 31st 11:59:59 if possible. "Count me i- Happy New Year!! lol". Guaranteed win unless the neighbours play the record at their party and have outdoor speakers.

Sign-up always ends when December starts, so you're in.

Also that plan would still give you 10 days to survive

So the two guys above me missed the boat?

It was a mistype, I meant to type 31st as evidenced by all the New Year references in my post above.

TBH I wasn't really serious about gaming the poll. Being in the competition is too much fun and I've been knocked out so many times now it barely even hurts any more. winces in agony

 

[W3H5]

I’m out. The tree went up, and the missus, with no regard for human life, played a Christmas playlist. It was the first track. Followed by Wham!.

Fun while it lasted.

 

[Jimlaad43]

I'm out, another year another failure

On a day shopping with a friend, we walked past an Auto shop a few times, which I commented about not needing to go in. We head off later and within 5 minutes he gets a warning light on the dash and we need to head back to the Auto shop to get a refill of Coolant.

Guess what played loudly on the radio in said Auto shop as we were heading in with a purpose...

Carey wins again...

 

[DK]

Does it count as getting Carey'd if an ad just uses its backing track? I got in my car this afternoon, and before my phone had a chance to connect to it I heard those infamous bars, only to breathe a sigh of relief as I heard one of Today FM's DJs plug a podcast celebrating its 30th birthday. I had no idea it released in 1994. I thought it was released around 1990ish.

 

[AudiMan2011]

Dodged a bullet today when Mariah's other Christmas song came on the radio and not the one.

Still in it but the net is tightening.

 

[SnakeOfBacon]

I'm out.
I was Carey'd just minutes ago at the checkout of one of those Christmas junk shops, buying gift bags for my Nan. Had to hear the whole thing while trying to maintain a merry and unirked countenance.

I think it depends if the lyrics sang by Mariah Carey herself and not in a remix are apart of the backing track

 

[DK]

There weren't any lyrics, hopefully that means I'm safe.

The funny thing is I survived the office Xmas party, but at the price of getting Whammed! 3 times.

I think by the rules you are out. If you got to the part where she should be screeching and she wasn't then you're safe.

[DK]

I should be fine, the radio host was talking when Mariah should have been singing. I couldn't hear her at all.

 

[OJBrit]

I'm not sure that would save you under the rules. If you hear even a second of the original song then you're out.

 

[kjb]

So far so good made through the 1st week of December. I have made multiple trips to Walmart and Target but I have not heard the that song so far. I don't much live TV and all of my streaming services have been running the same drug commercials they normally show. So only 3 weeks to go.
