Philly-Based Website Offers The World 16 Hours, 25 Minutes And 14 Seconds Of Wham’s “Last Christmas”
We shit you not: last-christmas.com has so far compiled a whopping 234 covers of the Wham… well, what is it? A classic? No, that doesn’t quite get it right. Undeniable force of nature? Um, you’re getting warmer? Beacon of hope? Well, that’s a bit much. Let’s just let the lyrics do the talking:
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man undercover but you tore me apart
Next year
I’ll give it to someone, I’ll give it to someone special
We don’t know what that means, but it’s cool: We have 230 more versions to get through, and by the end of that, a certain kind of enlightenment seems inevitable.
