Celebrities trying to make it seem cool.I know this is a favorite songs thread, but I have to rant a bit. My least favorite and most hated Christmas song is "Last Christmas". All 500+ versions: Wham!, Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Carly Rae Jepson, Justin Beaver, Bing Crosby, Elvis, Willie Nelson, Janis Joplin, Lawrence Welk, Glenn Miller, Deep Purple or Johann Pachelbel ("in D").
Try to do a little Christmas shopping without hearing this irritating song in a store or on the radio. Enough already.
Last Christmas was written in 1984. Seems odd that so many dead people recorded it.I know this is a favorite songs thread, but I have to rant a bit.

Didn't Lawrence Welk have an accordion version back in the '50's? Or Johann Pachelbel have a version ("in D") back in the 1690's?Last Christmas was written in 1984. Seems odd that so many dead people recorded it.
"White Christmas" is a classic.I'm thinking BlackHawk might have meant "White Christmas".
Was very surprised to find out he released this in 1970. I think I first heard it in the early 1980's on a local station we didn't play "in my neighborhood", lol, but it pushed all the presents-and-pumpkin-pie buttons for me right away. It's the only modern-era Christmas song I have in my upper pantheon.As I tend to say on here, in my neighborhood, This Christmas by Howard University's Donny Hathaway is always a hit!
That thumbnail caused an instant flashback to seeing "Beat Street" in the theater, back in the day when I would try to broaden my horizons (and usually fail epically).
