RaceDepartment vs Wham! The 2019 Edition.

[Durge Driven]

Just looking at him makes me want to punch him in the face

Is this some kind of sadist post? I read it 10 minutes ago and that song now plays on loop in my head.

Count me in, will try not to listen in irl.

 

[Constantin Grimminger]

Absolutely in!

Maybe this is a British challenge? I'm saying this because I live in Montreal and I can't even remember the last time I heard this song. However, we hear plenty of Céline Dion Christmas songs, so it's not as if our fate was better than yours...

 

[Pywackett-Barchetta]

Count me intrigued. My only question is, I had at one point recently heard, on a YouTube playlist, the Wham version, but with every other beat missing, so it was all chopped up. This was, however, still the original version of the song before the edit: would that, thus, count as it? If not, sign me up, and if so, mistakes were made but still well worth seeing how long people can go.

 

[Jonathan Young]

Too late to sign up I suppose. Shame, as I detest that song and it would give me great pleasure to go out of my way to avoid it.

 

[Knoxstar]

Must have been a tariff on this song in Canada as I'd never heard the song....ever....or it just went in one ear and out the other.
The Canadian equivalent might be Celine Dion doing So This Is Christmas?

 

[Matthew327]

Definitely signing up - I've been lucky so far!

 

[Matthew Allington]

Okay so this got a spike of interest and a sneaky extension to the sign-up deadline (now tomorrow, the 18th!) since it got posted to the front page! @Jonathan Young, you're in!

Sign-up and Whammed! lists have been updated

@Pywackett-Barchetta you have described a monstrousity! Only the original version counts for Whamming! No remixes, covers or diabolical changes to the song's composition.

And thanks for your gift @Bram Hengeveld

On another note, I'm going to try again since I got Whammed! a disgustingly long time before the deadline

 

[Ensi Ferrum]

Count me in

 

[mantasisg]

Still alive.

 

[bgil66]

I love this song and the video! hahaha

 

[JJx]

I'm in, but know that I work from home and don't get out much. That's a big advantage.

 

[BP]

Sign me up

 

[Enoneado]

Last Chriiistmas with the old UIIII, i gave you my patience (studio397)
But the very next year, i'll gooo awayyyy

 

[juiceheadjohn]

im ready

 

[Jonathan Young]

Great that I'm in.. I think I'm also at an advantage as I live in Austin, Texas where Wham aren't exactly big news

 

[Ensi Ferrum]

Going to the cinema tomorrow (Star warS), hope I do not forget to fetch some ear plugs at work ....

 

[AyrtJ97]

Still time to get in, right? Won't be difficult to avoid it where I live, as shops usually use traditional Spanish Christmas songs... But well, who knows, right?

 

[Novotny]

I'm in please
