TWTD Whamageddon - who's still in? on 22:43 - Dec 22 by azuremerlangus
Just thinking exactly the same.
Maybe the lyrics are a bit too edgy for these modern times?
For modern times?
You're joking surely.
The past few years you've not been able to move without bumping into that song and all the others on whatever Now that's what I call Xmas music or whatever it's called.
I actually think maybe people are finally bored of that particular same set of songs we were subjected to for what felt like decades.

Do you mean this one?
(Doesn’t contain ‘THAT’ song, in case anyone is worried!)
I fell on the 22nd,Wife opened a video of childs performance at school and they were using a medley which included it....although was sung by some woman.....is that a mulligan ?

I believe they have already tweaked the song because of the word ‘faggot’. Doesn’t bother me but people a more sensitive these days…

You’re still in…
“The rules of the game is simply to go as long as possible into December without hearing the classic song. - The 'game' lasts from December 1 to midnight on Christmas Eve. - Cover versions or remixes don't count, only the brilliant original.“

I was out on day one, never stood a chance with my wife, despite my protestations, Heart Xmas gets put on on the 1st of December.
Awful feeling really, a bit like when you have that first pint and it randomly goes straight to your head and makes you feel light headed, you know you're in for a torrid time.

Just the 5,918 hearings of it down here in Swansea. Although to be fair, we've probably only just found about the original release. I'm not saying that we're behind the times, but people still have mullets down here.

I'm still in then. I thought I was out as they played some other version of it at Wycombe not long before kick-off.

Eliminated today, I knew Radio 1 was a mistake, it was all Christmas songs
The song before seemed to have suspicious bells added, maybe it was a sign?
My first Whamaggedon since 2020
I was unaware of this until today. I can't recall being out so far but, since I haven't been actively alert to it, I wonder if I may be out without realising it. I am going to claim to be still in.
Discovered this thread yesterday and just turned onto BBC where a film called Last Christmas is starting, with the theme tune by you know who.
I did note a story a little while ago about a couple who are supposedly trying to raise the money to purchase the rights to the song with a view to stop it ever being played again ever.

Well that didn't last long.

I thought I was done for when I walked into Morrisons at Boss Hall yesterday morning and the Christmas songs were playing over the PA but big respect to them for switching it off, that may have been because they had a wee (but excellent) brass band playing just inside the entrance but I like to think that Morrisons could see a Whamageddon survivor arriving and were sensitive to my dilemma...
Only planning on visiting off licences today, I should be OK, shouldn't I ?
Still in. The joy of only listening to podcasts in the car, refusing to let people play Christmas music at work and not spending too much time in supermarkets.
