Holiday gatherings are coming and things have been pretty busy at work. So, for the moment - On a Wednesday afternoon, I am still safe.
All of the cover and instrumental variants can be enjoyed. But Rule #3 says it’s only the original version that is dangerous. I ran across a cover last week, right before the week started. It was quite the emotion going from invulnerability to WHAMMED in the space of moments.īut WAIT! Even though I was putting up my Christmas tree, it was not yet December! I was safe by several days, as WHAMAGEDDON begins Dec. Then it hit me: I was out! I was done! The contest, for me, was over before it had even begun. My kryptonite … you get the picture.įor the first time in my life, I was WHAMMORTAL.
Finally, I had to admit that I knew the song, and that my Achilles’ ear had been exposed. Here was my ending before it even started, my secret weapon was nullified by a music video. I stood, transfixed in horror, as the song played. Right before I hung the stocking with care, there is was, nestled in the lower left corner: I was putting the Christmas tree up this year and turned on one of the seasonal music channels for background noise. I chuckled at the posts that complained about getting WHAMMED on the second or third day in December and may have laughed out loud when I saw someone went to WHAMHALLA on Christmas Eve.īut even the mighty fall … and even a five-time, unWHAMMED specimen of internetish intelligence is subject to reality. I was secure in my invincibility even as other WHAMWarriors fought to the bitter end. Since I didn’t recognize the song, there was no way I could lose. Through skill, grace and a little bit of luck, I managed to avoid getting WHAMMED for the last five years, and I’m ready to share my secret: I never heard the song until after I learned about the game. I am the only five-time undefeated WHAMAGEDDON champion in the world … until this year, of course. If you hear “Last Christmas,” you will be WHAMMED!, and your spirit moves onto WHAMHALLA, where it will remain with Last Christmas until next Dec. Somehow, thanks to cool people on the internet, the song has developed into a game with a simple objective: Avoid hearing the original version of “Last Christmas” at all costs. One of those songs was “Last Christmas,” which has become a holiday standard since its release in 1984. They sold about 30 million records before breaking up in 1986. Wham! was an 80s pop group made up of George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley. One of these cool things I’ve learned is the holiday song deathmatch that is WHAMAGEDDON.
