Listen "LAST CHRISTMAS - WHAM"
Episode Synopsis
"Last Christmas" by Wham! is the perfect blend of heartbreak and holiday cheer, a timeless anthem that turns festive heartache into a glittering, synth-driven masterpiece. From George Michael's silky vocals to the iconic snowy music video featuring oversized jumpers and smouldering glances, every detail is drenched in '80s charm. The track’s bittersweet lyrics, from the unforgettable chorus to the quietly devastating "once bitten and twice shy," resonate as deeply today as they did in 1984. With all proceeds originally donated to charity and its status as the best-selling UK single never to hit number one, this classic cements Wham!’s legacy as pop legends who knew how to turn heartbreak into a hit.
