Jimmy Eat World did a cover a whole 22 years ago. I'm not sure there's anything else to say here.

Oooooohh. Just heard this one for the first time and it's immediately one of the best in a bad bunch. Decent acapella and a good bunch of liberties taken with the original tune and arrangement. Voxcom Acapella released this last year.

There are a surprising number of "lullaby" versions. 별하나 동요 translates as "One star nursery rhyme", and they released this cover 6 years ago.

I'm overdue with today's #Whamacea post - The Anti #Whamaggedon #Whamvent Dec 6th, Track #1
And we're overdue a gospel version, I think. This one from 2014 is by N.S.G. Big Band.

Do you like the "Hardstyle" genre of music? It's kinda like Happy Hardcore without the "Happy". This track - by POSEIDON, ZYZZMODE and Tazzy - is for you then.

You know Alanis Morissette, yeah? Did you know she did a Last Christmas cover?

Myleene Klass is, like, popular "classical music" quality, right? So, her version will be top banana, yeah? Well, it's damn short so there's that...

A follower created entry. The Winterval Conspiracy version, @simon, was released yesterday and is described by the artist as "Terrible, of course — which is kind of the point!"

A "comedy" version (in the loosest terms)... DimSuk Wang.

The first version to stake serious liberties with the melody and, as such, my favourite so far. "As Sirens Fall" are an "alternative rock/aggressive pop outfit based out of West Yorkshire", and they released this in 2022.

Slightly later than I intended, but here's the first #Whamacea - The #AntiWhamaggedon #Whamvent for 2nd Dec.
The full playlist includes six remixes of KC & The Sunshine Band's version of Last Christmas, but this is the original.

Fancy a rock version? Skiff N' Garo, a Belgian rock cover band, only have one commercial release, and it's their Last Christmas cover. But it has a full music video on YouTube.

#Whamacea - The #AntiWhamaggedon #Whamvent

Playing #Whamaggedon but want to hear versions of Last Christmas that won't knock you out?
I have a playlist of 240+ versions of Last Christmas. I'll post highlights and lowlights from this list over 25 days. A Whamvent calendar, if you will.
Let's start with a new, half-decent cover version from Smash Mouth and Sophie Grey.
