@Jimlaad43 nah its heart fm or absolute radio one or the other, they don't have it on loud so when it gets busy in there you can barely hear it...

 

[Jimlaad43]

I got Whammed again today. Walking into the area where they sell food at my university, they usually play songs. They switched to Christmas songs today. "...Last Christmas, I gave you my heart" was heard, George Michael's voice too.

 

[GT5Power]

@Jimlaad43, at least you don't need to worry about George Michael now that you're a Whambie

I know, it's bliss being able to walk anywhere without the fear.

[Deko Wolf-GTPT]

Careful there. You are playing with dangerous forces...

[Slash]

Fortunately, I don't listen to alternative stations, only ones that play metal so I'm usually good.


Unless it's a commercial.


Fortunately I still haven't been whammed!

 

[Adamgp]

Still wham free here, despite some more close calls.

Being an anti-social recluse is paying off.

 

[terminator363]

So I'm walking with my friend, he pulls out his phone and Wham!s me right then and there. .

Yep there you have it I lost.

 

[DK]

Well, Daniel did warn us...

Besides cutting off your ears, here are some tactics to avoid the song this holiday season:

• Don't trust anyone.
• Don't listen to any radio stations that may play Christmas songs. If there's a chance they'll play Christmas music, they'll play Wham!
• If you must go out into public for shopping, dining or any other reasons - bring your iThing for protection.
• Don't trust anyone.
  Turn off the volume before clicking on any links.
• Don't accept calls and links (Skype, PSN, Facebook) from other GTPers. We're all evil and cannot be trusted.
• DON'T TRUST ANYONE.

Well, yesterday I went through a mall with Christmas music playing. Sat in a bank for almost an hour (can't remember if there was music playing or not), and then had to be on hold with 80's music when was on the phone. Fortunately the 80's pop songs weren't anything I'd heard, nor were they Christmas songs.

@Korza - has your brain turned to jelly yet? Better check your palms, too; any fur on there? Twelve times is way too much whamming - there has to be some side-effects.

After the slaughter last year, my brain has become immune to the potentially fatal side effects of excessive Whamming!. Although there's a very real chance that this year gonna be even worse.

 

[GT5Power]

I've been struck. Whammed on December 4th, 2013 at 17:12 GMT+2. Next year, I'll tear the radio apart to avoid evil stations.

I jinxed myself, it seems.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

@Daniel you need to update the second post mate, I was out yesterday..

 

[ECGadget]

Not been whammed yet.... but I've narrowly missed it... switched on the radio and the presenter said "And that was a classic, George Michael with Last Christmas"... and then Mariah Carey came on, so it was all good! =D

 

[MSTER232]

^ Has anyone had a closer call to listening to the actual song then this?

I...I've been...WHAMMED!

By my own girlfriend at that. Cleaning the house today and had the Christmas CD's playing, so I thought I was safe. Came down stairs and walked into the kitchen to ask my girlfriend a question and thought "man, I hate this song" then the cold realization of being Whammed ran over my body and I just stood there in disgust while each word stabbed into my ears like a poisoned dagger.


She had turned on the radio to hear the weather while I was upstairs. Normally I like it when my girlfriend whams me, but this just sucks.

Probably a sign that you should ditch her for someone else .

Phew, dodged a bullet this morning shopping for groceries.

While unloading my groceries on the checkout I heard it, Last Christmas. The look of dejection of my face was so strong that my wife asked what was wrong. Once explaining the process and rules she said "Ah you've nothing to worry about, that's Last Christmas but not Wham. You'll know the Wham version when you hear it".

The twinkle in her eye and the ongoing questioning leaves me fearing that home is not my last bastion of safety anymore.

I've almost been Whammed! too. My school is now playing Christmas songs in assemblies and I am praying that they don't choose Wham!

P.S: Don't trust your wife with anything until 1st January 2014

 

[Callum B]

It's a good thing I refuse to go Christmas shopping for myself or with anyone else now, might actually win this year... although one of my new friends at college who I hang with a lot loves Christmas songs, it doesn't count if she sings it, right? xD

 

[DK]

Nah, it's only the official Wham release you need to watch out for.

 

[Northstar]

I have been whammed, to make matters worse, it was in a public bathroom.

 

[Jimlaad43]

I have been whammed, to make matters worse, it was in a public bathroom.

Have you been Whammed! by George Michael, or whammed by him.
(True story, I had to cycle past a layby George Michael had been caught, erm, having fun in on my way to school)

 

[The Bman]

Muted my laptop, took my earphones out of my ears, clicked on some signature links in the last 6 pages to see how many where Wham!. I counted 8.

 

[ibnumgt1]

Went to a shopping mall yesterday, they are playing Christmas songs. Lucky that I didn't heard any Wham! songs.

 

[adamp93]

Been Whammed a further 3 times in 48 hours now. My student union building, where I play pool and a pub. The worst was the SU, you can download an app to control the music. Someone out there is pure evil!

 

[Azure Flare]

Let the slaughter commence...

 

[AudiMan2011]

Still surviving, but the real test comes tomorrow when I get sent to Aberdeen for the weekend. I might not survive much longer while I'm there

 

[ilikewaffles11]

Thought I had gotten Whammed at my orthodontists. I was hoping, PRAYING, it wouldn't come on the radio. Then I heard the awful chorus, however it was luckily a cover of the song.

 

[Anathema]

Muted my laptop, took my earphones out of my ears, clicked on some signature links in the last 6 pages to see how many where Wham!. I counted 8.

There might be more, I wanted to verify this and found 8 from only 4 pages (not counting posts by users with the links in their signatures more than once.)

 

[Jimlaad43]

Smegging Whammed! again. This time by a Spotify advert for Sony's Christmas album, which started with Last Christmas and no warning. If you use Spotify and get adverts WATCH OUT.
