i have hated this song since the first time i heard it on Top of the Pops and Saturday Superstore in 1983. ask any British person what their most traumatic memory of the 80s is and they will say without hesitation "christmas after christmas after christmas after christmas hearing that song played from september onwards in every Miss Selfridge, Asda and Woolworths"....
finally around 1992 these songs just osmosed into our DNA and we failed to even feel discomfort anymore upon hearing them. now, as i listen to "Last Christmas" with my brand new American ears for the first time.... i actually... gasp.... i actually kind of like it! i have to say... that check for $675 has been money well spent so far:)
i have spent the entire day looking for the beater for my kitchenaid mixer thing. and it would appear we have a LOT of junk in our junk drawers. but no beater blade.... yawn
oh my gosh. youtube is currently performing site maintenance. they say "Be cool - we'll be back 100% in a bit" urgh, be cool???! do they know i neeeeed to watch the Faith video NOW??! it's an emergency like it is every night! be cool... whatever. i need my hubbie to put on his cop glasses stat;)

Do you ever take a bad photograph...or are they on the cutting room floor ;-) Just superb.
ReplyDeleteI quite liked "Last Christmas" but they did flog it to death didn't they. Still love hearing Slade and Wizard at Christmas, I suppose because it brings back memories of childhood.
Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire by Nat King Cole..just prefect.
Oh how cute does Danny look in that hat.It's so cool.
ReplyDeleteYou know i havnt hardly heard Last christmas this year, however christmas songs have been playing sooo early in the year as usual - ugh!
Oh and Carol Woolworths is closing down :0( they have gone into administration and are selling everything off to shut all stores. *sigh*
