Heard it earlier this evening. Right between LMFAO - Party Rock Anthem and Queens of the Stone Age - No one knows.
Radio station for mostly alternative music, but has teamed up for a week with other stations for charity and people can request songs when they donate money.
I was watching tv at the time (which I very rarely do) and could softly hear it coming from the kitchen. Just enough to recognise it, still counts as Whammed I guess :grumpy:
 
My mom listens to the radio at home. They played so many covers, my ears started to bleed. So I closed the door. Well, went out to the kitchen and came back without closing the door. Next thing I know I hear something familiar playing under the DJ.
 
Wow, we're starting to drop like flies. You can tell we're now within the 10-day window of Christmas.

I got had in Germany! It's almost all english language music.

There is no escape. Those who remain: I just came to wish you all good luck. We're counting on you.
 
I lost.

Was in my room browsing Forzaplanet when something caught my attention. The radio outside my room was playing and I could hear the higher pitched sound that plays during the song (sorry, don't have a way to explain it). I thought that it sounded familiar and then I figured it out.
I got whammed.

And my mother started vacuming a couple of seconds later.
Why could she not have started earlier? :mad:
 
Went to the mall and heard my first Christmas songs: some hymn.... and Last Christmas.


By Taylor Swift :sly:
 
I lost last week, I was sitting in at the bar in my uni having lunch with a friend when Last Christmas comes on. I was a bit annoyed, but hey, I had an epic burger (was amazingly good and affordable) sitting in front of me to counter the disappointment.
 
I lost. One week before Christmas, I got a ride home with a nice person from a weekend with the other exchange students, and what do you know but half way home, the song came on the radio. I hate life sometimes.
 
I was sabotaged!

Girlfriend knew about the challenge and lost two weeks ago when she visited her parents for a weekend. She picked me up from the train station last night with the song playing on the radio, and intentionally left it on when I got in. Crap.
 
December 18, 2011. 02:51 PM. I was on my way to Ayala Center Cebu, a mall I visit every Saturday. I was riding a taxi. What was playing on my Nokia was Rise by Samantha James. Something played on the taxi's radio, and I removed my earbuds to see what was playing... big mistake. It's over for me now.

107.5 Piece of **** radio.

People have been threatening to do this to me but I carry my Walkman with at all times now.

Why would you do that!?!

Well, curiosity kills the cat :lol: And it's the kind of radio that makes nonsensical and corny jokes every now and then. Just the usual piece of **** radio here in the Philippines.

Is it possible to separate the people how got whammed from the ones who have yet to be whammed?
 
Survived another trip to Tesco. Unfortunately they were playing Christmas music, but I survived. Was at the self scan and started to get worried as they were playing that christmas song by Slade and the song was coming to an end. Some instrumental followed though, so I was ok.
 
Whew, I almost did just an hour ago. I was in Bed Bath & Beyond to help my sis look for something when It came on :scared: Luckily, it was only the cover kind.
 
people were singing it in school the other day
does this mean I'm not safe?

Other people singing it does not count. Only the original song will get you Whammed! If the song itself was on at the same time I think it'll count as a Wham!

Thank god. Because there are some a capella gits singing it on BBC news at the moment...
 
You better just run. You better just hide. You better stay away from that Youtube site. Whammists they are coming - To town

The Whammists being Wham. Obviously.

(I couldn't resist)
 
PHEW! Close call at No Frills yesterday. At first I was like "NOOOOOOO I LOST" but then I was like "MUAHAHAHAHAHAH ITS A COVER SONG!"
 
My mom claimed that the song (that I heard, didn't hear any lyrics as it was just coming on) was the original, but as I closed my ears and ran out of Michael's I couldn't as said before hear any lyrics.

I wasn't there to hear it so was I Whammed! Or spared lucky?
 
Well the op clarified a little while ago that if you hear the music, you must wait and see if it is the original or not. You'll have to ask the op for a judgement on this because you did hear the intro and your mother claimed it was the original.

Sorry mate, you are whammed. Hear any part of the song and you are out.
 
I revised the rules a while ago, you've gotta wait and see if it's a cover or not. Storm, ask your mum if the singer was female or male. If it's a female, it's a cover. If it's a male, it's pretty likely that you've been Whammed!

She claimed it was the Wham! version. But I only recall the rule being,

If you hear the intro, then you're in a sticky situation. Continue to hear it and it might be a cover, or your worst nightmare (i.e. Wham!)

...as in you MAY continue to hear it. So if you say that I should be Whammed! I will submit and bury the sword.

EDIT: Didn't read the revised rules - I don't go on this thread much, tbh.

So I went back to the mall one last time, and had a scary moment. I heard the intro to the song, and I thought all had been for nought, but a woman started singing and I did a little fist pump.
