I can't remember hearing the Wham song, which means I may be out or not -- Schrodinger time, indeed. But I'm still playing for LDB, despite being in several venues where Xmas songs are run incessantly.
Come on out, River. The nice man wants to kidnap you.

Last year I got LDB'd as I passed a cigar bar that had music piped outside. Recently, a columnist posted a list of the worst 10 of 100 seasonal songs ... LDB was #100 (lower/worse than Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer).

I really dislike LDB, but it's not worse than Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer. That columnist is sadly mistaken.

Yeah, I have heard some really nice versions of LDB, never of Grandma Got Run Over.

To be fair, I do think the Bing Crosby-David Bowie version is kind of lovely.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I'm out of Whamageddon, too. With Xmas music playing in the lab every day, it's not a surprise. I'm not sure if I've heard the original, but I've definitely heard a cover.

Thrive to spite them
I haven't been listening to much Christmas music. They don't play it at work I haven't gone many places besides work and I avoid the 2 radio stations that have gone 24/7 Christmas. One before Thanksgiving

I honestly thought "When did Bing and Bowie do 'Grandma Got Run Over'?"

No surprise, the tree did not get decorated while I was out of town. In fact it was like I was never gone, including the dishes I left in the sink still there.
So I picked up my son and a pizza and he is doing the tree while I supervise. Bad Santa via Netflix in the background.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
covers don't count in Whamadeddon
Good to know! I'm astonished to still be in either game between two Christmas shows at work, Christkindlemarket one block over and shopping district all around.
