Grab Bag #1

Last night, believe it or not, was the first time in 4 years I’ve listened to the original version of “Last Christmas” by Wham! Incredible I know, but can you blame me? We are averaging over 100 versions a year! I will say though it gave me a renewed perspective on all the varied versions and I do think I like it more now than I did before.

All that being said, today we’re going to try something a little different, and hopefully exciting for you! A “Last Christmas” grab bag o’ tunes. Download, enjoy, and tell us what YOU think about them in the comments. Our readers have been strangely quiet this year, so here’s your chance to sound off and get a little raucous. That last mash-up is a doozy!

A Justice Wham! – As Above Last Christmas
B.B. – Christmas Special (Last Christmas)
DJ Gervi – Last Christmas
Emanuel – Last Christmas
Gospellers – Last Christmas
Strange Manor – Last Christmas
Duplicat – Last Christmas
Pinky & Perky – Last Christmas
T.C.G.S. – Last Christmas (Club Mix)
Wham! vs. Martha & The Vandellas vs. Queen vs. ABBA – Last Christmas The Winter Took The Street

I despise the Wham version, and I have a great time finding new ones here; it’s like driving past a holiday train wreck! Palast Orchester is still the best cover, but Dalida is brilliant also. Listening to the final mashup from today, and it’s brilliant.
Thank you!

Whoa .. the Martha/Vandellas/Queen/ABBA version wins the Iron Chef Randomness Mashup Award. Can’t say I’d consume it again. But gotta give it props for the Griswold samples. Thanks!

The Queen/ABBA version is AMAZING. It syncs so perfectly and it just highlights Last Christmas and the respective songs so well. Winner Takes it All is an amazing mash-up choice.

I agree that anything with a Christmas Vacation sample earns automatic A+

Hey guys!!! I’ve been coming to the site since I first found it three years ago and I’m snatching a bunch of these new versions. You can never have too many different versions of Last Christmas, imho.
