London

1st December so it’s officially Whamageddon time….

The 1st Rule

The objective is to go as long as possible without hearing WHAM's Christmas classic; "Last Christmas".

The 2nd Rule

The game starts on December 1st, and finishes at the end of December 24th.

The 3rd Rule

Only the original version applies.

The 4th Rule

You're out as soon as you recognise the song.

Who’s in - sign up below and the last person standing wins a luxury fictional Christmas hamper…

Last Christmas I gave you my heart

But the very next day you gave it away

This year, to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas I gave you my heart

But the very next day you gave it away

This year, to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special

Once bitten and twice shy

I keep my distance, but you still catch my eye

Tell me baby, do you recognize me?

Well, it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me

Happy Christmas, I wrapped it up and sent it

With a note saying "I love you", I meant it

Now I know what a fool I've been

But if you kissed me now, I know you'd fool me again

Last Christmas I gave you my heart

But the very next day you gave it away

This year, to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas I gave you my heart

But the very next day you gave it away

This year, to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special

Ooh

Oh, oh, baby

A crowded room, friends with tired eyes

I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice

My God, I thought you were someone to rely on

Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart

A man under cover, but you tore me apart

Oh, oh now I've found a real love

You'll never fool me again

Last Christmas I gave you my heart

But the very next day you gave it away

This year, to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special, special

Last Christmas I gave you my heart

But the very next day you gave it away

This year, to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special

Special

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart (I gave you mine)

A man under cover but you tore him apart

Maybe next year I'll give it to someone

I'll give it to someone special

Diagonally Parked in a Parallel Universe

As the 3rd rule is only the original version applies, what about the Mash-up version with Wham, Slayer and Rammstein?

It's the best version ever

Can't post the YouTube link, though, as it has a letter/number combination in the link that is apparently a banned word, so if you want to listen, search for Bill McClintock - Slam! - South of Christmas.

If you hear the original played and recognise it, you’re out. Doesn’t matter if it’s 5 seconds or the full song. And yes, adverts and overhearing anywhere when out and about count.

"Got done by my own wife wearing the T-shirt and singing the song !!!

That doesn't count, unless she was singing along to the radio playing the original.

Oh yes she put it on speaker as well just to make sure I was knocked out properly as love to play this game every year. Earlier I have been knocked out day one.

There is a version with an additional rule that says obvious sabotage attempts don't count, so you could technically still be in!

My WhatsApp friends group always send it via a phoney link / blank video - I’m not opening any attachments this year! "

Sorry Full English....in the comfort of my own home. Eye was literally off ball. Watching football, Fab scrolling and radio on in background. Before I knew it I was singing along to "that song"

Only the original version applies.

Still in, but I must admit, for the sake of this challenge, I haven’t left the house since Friday, and disconnected all media. Also wearing noise cancelling headphones, just in case of some nasty sabotage.

The prize is mine

Still in. Weekend Christmas markets were tricky. Stayed outside for school fair with Spotify and gave out cash to kid if he needed something. Later heard it was the main song as background music so.. bad parenting for the win!

Remaining quietly confident - usually only sports, news and history channel on tv, and 5Live on the radio. It's in the bag.

BTW - what's the prize?
