Last Christmas |
Last Christmas requires no introduction.This very popular number was sung by the British pop duo by the name Wham! which featured the all too famous George Michael and partner Andrew Ridgeley both of whom starred in the video. The song was released on Epic Records in 1984 along with the popular hit, Everything She Wants.
The song was written by George Michael and it sold over a million copies becoming the biggest selling single in UK chart history not to reach #1.
Its stupendous popularity lead to its re-issue in the next Christmas but its second re-issue during the next fall failed to create waves, as the duo split in 1986 and the song zooped down the charts. Though the song was a big hit, it incurred the displeasure of many as its Christmas theme was merely a market gimmick to attract crowds during the festive season.The theme of the song was very basic and it dealt with a broken relationship.Though there was not enough creativity to look out for in this video, with the picturisation being very basic and devoid of any special effects, the song became a household favourite. The song also featured the duo's erstwhile backing singers Pepsi and Shirlie and not to forget Martin Kemp (the future husband of Shirlie Holliman). A host of popular singers have tried doing cover versions of the said song like Whigfield, Darren Hayes of Savage Garden fame, The Backstreet Boys and 'N Sync just to name a few.But its only been the Wham! Original which has maintained status as an airplay and still continues to be a party stable in all Christmas parties.
