Day 33: And to all, a good night!
Bad News.
Today will likely be the final post before Christmas due to family obligations and limited internet connections after tonight.
Good News.
This means that you, dear readers, will be receiving the bulk of what’s left in the LC vault this year.
Bad News.
Since we’re posting pretty much all we have left, and if the bandwidth usage continues on its present course, bandwidth may be limited as time goes on, so get ‘em while the gettin’s good.
Good News.
Our main benefactor this year has also provided us with a special treat to pass on to you…
19 versions of “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” for your holiday enjoyment! GET THEM HERE!!!
More Good News.
Raely Qiu – Last Christmas
Raely Qiu, a North Carolina musician and recent “Last Christmas” alum (see above), has agreed to help us with the limited amount of reviewing that accompanies today’s post! His own version straddles the line between outsider folk and maybe lo-fi tenacity, but even that doesn’t quite describe it. Descriptions aside, it definitely is a must for any hardcore “Last Christmas” collector. Without further ado, take it away Raely…
Willow Tree – Last Christmas
A ‘different’ version of “Last Christmas.” Kind of a hip-hop country-ish version! Very cool, but not something that floats my boat.
Physical Motion – Last Christmas
This version of “Last Christmas” is the kind that makes you want to dance (hence the clue, Dance Version), which is not so commonly mixed with Christmas. This unique version has a duet, a man and a woman, though the main voice is the woman’s. It’s an ‘intersting’ [sic] version that also reminds me of a lower pictched [sic] Alicia Keys and Ashley Tisdale mix.
Peter Wheeler – Last Christmas
The first instrumental version I have heard yet, but I bet there are more. [You bet your wind-chapped butt we’ve posted more instrumental’s Raely!...We don’t know if his butt’s really wind-chapped though…]
Idaira, Edurne y Sandra – Last Christmas
An Indian sounding version of “Last Christmas” has the best instrument part that I have heard yet. Overall it was preatty [sic] good but not evrybody [sic] may like her indian accent.
Frank Tellina – Last Christmas
The funnyest [sic] version of this song that I have heard, no offence [sic] to the artist. This is a great song if you need to smile. In a way, its kind of a spoof. LOL....
BaSix – Last Christmas
My favorite version of this song, besides Ashley Tisdale’s and Taylor Swifts! This is a song with a beat! A MUST DOWNLOAD! ROTFLOL. Well, if its not, it sounds very proffecional [sic]!
Ok it’s us here at Last Christmas HQ again, thanks Raely! Let’s not waste time, moving on…
UK band Kanute just sent us their amazing version that I’m certain will find its way onto many of your last minute holiday mixes. It’s a very sullen, ethereal take with lots of piano and sighs that will break your heart in a good way.
These next two were last minute send-ins from George Ridgeley (hmmm…) They are crazy and weird and awesome. I’m convinced the Rodd Dodd version is a tinkered-with version of the smurfs cover we posted last year.

DJ Samy S. meets Mary – Last Christmas 07
GebRieL Brothers feat. Andex – Last Christmas
Ree Lax Featuring Keno – Last Christmas
This one’s pretty smooth; we’ve had a lack of good R&B versions this year.
Switch – Last Christmas
Tony Evans & His Orchestra – Last Christmas
You can find more from Tony & crew on amazon.com.
This one is my new favorite “guilty pleasure” version.
Kimberly Locke – Last Christmas
Nadine Schimidt – Last Christmas
More reggae!
Gheorghe Zamfir – Last Christmas / It’s Gonna Be a Cold X-Mas
Fricckin’ ZAMFIR! Zamfir, the king of the ’80s infomercial, unleashes his magical pan flute on the Wham! hit for us. If you don’t recall Zamfir from the ’80s, more recently his song “The Lonely Shepherd” was featured on the Kill Bill soundtrack.
Isabella Ortega – Last Christmas
Marcella Ashley Ashley” – Last Christmas
Santa Claus & His Rockin’ Snowmen – Last Christmas
Who knew Santa could rock?! Wait…This does not rock in the least…In fact, it’s really the antithesis of rock…WTF SANTA?!
If you understand German, you can check out the glowing 1-star reviews for the 2-disc set this comes from. The Harley Santa from the cover art is appealing though.
Smash!! – Last Christmas
I almost went to classify this as dance, but this is so much more than that: It’s disco! We may be quick to put it in that category since Russian duo Smash!! is known as a pop band, but we don’t have much disco in the collection yet, so why not pad that stat if possible? You can also check out the sweet video we posted last year from Smash!!
Cuuuuuute
