What are people saying about Last Christmas?
Whether you like it or not, this song will stay for generations to come.

Own a shirt like the one George Michael is wearing in Wham!s Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go music video.
The song has been playing on the airwaves every single holiday season ever since it was released in 1984 and I doubt if it will ever go away with all these remakes cropping up.
So why is the song being covered so much? Founders of Last-Christmas.com think it might be because of its unobtrusiveness: It is obviously related to Christmastime, but only superficially; it is both hopeful and spiteful; it's musically interesting but not difficult to perform." (source)

Last Christmas
Chorus:
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
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
[Chorus]
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
Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again
[Chorus 2x]
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover buy you tore him apart
Maybe next year I'll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone special.

- No! No... don't make me! Please..... argh! My kid is always playing some Ashley Tisdale version. This is extreme torture. It's enough to make someone go into hibernation over the holidays.
Fun lens though!
