      Of course most overplayed. I mean at least here in Germany, that’s a huge meme that as soon as Christmas time begins, Last Christmas is unavoidable and no matter where you go, you’ll hear it everywhere (also on every radio station).
      So Wham is often mentioned in a negative light due to this (e.g. “A radio station without Wham - that would be a [great] present” in a comedian’s song).

        Same here in Denmark lol, howdy neighbor 😁

        It’s even turned into a social media challenge where whomever avoids it the longest wins. I lasted to the 15th last year by avoiding shopping centers whenever possible and not listening to the radio 😄

          The version I’ve seen in the US uses Little Drummer Boy, but Last Christmas would work well, too.

      Is their WORST and most overplayed song.

      OK then. Next year, to save you from tears, we’ll play it for someone special.

        That’s part of the problem: they save nobody from tears by playing it for everyone!

        They really should change it to opt-in.
