Jokes on you, I don't know what whamageddon is

Don't you have to hear the song

It's not The Game, which you just lost

My working theory is that Last Christmas is a song about the emotional peril of white elephant gift exchanges.

it charted at number one again in the uk because this place has terrible taste in music.

Remember when Bob the Builder beat Eminem to Christmas Number One

Why would you remind people of that bob the builder song?

I'm not sure if I've heard Last Christmas this year.

Other than listening to it right now.

And so can you:

If Last Christmas is a Christmas song then Zombie is a Halloween song.

The crackers on my works night out had a quiz question that nearly led to violence

It was:

In the song "Last Christmas", who did the singer give their heart to?

And the answer given was:

Someone special

Which is some controversially ambiguous wording, I tell you what

Pretty clearly, "Last Christmas" is not a Christmas song, it's a last Christmas song. Like, the previous Christmas. It never applies to the current Christmas. It's like the White Queen's offer of jam every other day - it's jam tomorrow, and jam yesterday, but not jam today, so you never get jam. Same thing here, it's never the previous Christmas, it's always the current Christmas.

I will allow for the linguistic mischief of interpreting "Last Christmas" as "The Final Christmas", in which case this year it does technically count as a Christmas song, since there will be no Christmases from next year on.

At least it's not "don't they know it's christmas" which I posit is a warcrime

That's fine. I play by Queensbury rules, where you only lose if you remember The Game of your own volition. Being deliberately reminded by someone else gives bonus points instead!

Last Christmas,
I gave you my fart
But the very next day
You blew it away

This year
To save me from tears
I will-a void
