Wham! It's Christmas
Does anyone know who sings “Last Christmas I Gave You my Heart”?
Yeah… I didn’t either. Wham. I know, who knew? Who knew there was even a group called Wham? When I looked it up I saw that someone actually thought it was Queen. It’s a sad, sad world. Consequently, they also sing one of my other favorite eighties songs (I think)- Wake me before ya go go, I’m not planning on goin’ solo. Yeah, all their songs have awesome lyrics.
When I was little I LOVED THIS SONG. This song officially meant it was Christmas. I would go in my grandad’s office (where he always had the radio playing) and wait for it to come on after Thanksgiving dinner. Oddly, without being a Christmas carol, they still play it just as much. And call me crazy, I still LOVE it.
What song means it is Christmas time to you- serious, silly, funny, classic? What do you crave to hear? Any more fans of “Last Christmas” lurking out there??!

Oh, man. Do I feel old. I mean Wham was out when I was in elementary school but still.
My favorite silly Xmas reference is Joyful Joyful We Adore Thee… because it was used in Die Hard.
That’s two smileys in one post… its too early for commenting.
Lol. You can never have too many smileys!
I do happen to love “Last Christmas” by Wham and also the cover of it by Leigh Nash. She’s a Christian artist.
To me, my “it’s officially Christmas” song is the John Denver and the Muppets version of “The Twelve Days of Christmas” and “The Christmas Song”. You know, “Chest nuts roasting on an open fire…”. I guess I can throw in “Carol of the Bells”. But the one song I listen for on the radio every year is “Wonderful Christmastime” by Paul McCartney and the Eagles. “Simply having a wonderful Christmastime. Simply having a wonderful Christmastime”. I love that song!
I don’t think Paul McCartney ever sang with the Eagles.. I think it’s Wings…
Eagles lead singer was Don Henley… Mostly.. though they had several accomplished singers…
My Christmas song is… The Chipmunks. “I still want a hooooola hooooop”
OH and.. Baby It’s Cold outside.. the old one.. not any of the new, fast paced ones..
You’re right, it’s the Wings. Too many bird names.
I agree with you both on the songs. Aaah, I miss Peach 94.9. They were the best on Christmas variety!
He may have died before I was born…not sure, but Elvis Presley’s Here Comes Santa Claus. If my wife wasn’t asleep behind me, I’d be singin it via seesmic. Lucky you!!
