\"Cover<\/p>\n

For four years, Last-Christmas.com<\/a> has collected cover versions of Wham<\/strong>‘s \u2026 wait for it \u2026 Last Christmas<\/em>. The site’s as brilliant and wrong as the original song. So to get in the mood for over 418+ takes on\u00a0George Michael<\/strong>‘s festive opus, here are my picks for the Top 4, naturally:<\/p>\n

THE N\u00cbCESSARY PICKS<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Sugary, sunny Indie pop straight outta Detroit:
\n PAS\/CAL \u201cLast Christmas\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

8-bit \u2018n bloopy:
\n Magnus Djurberg \u201cLast Christmas\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t have a gramophone to play this through, imagine one:
\n Das Palast Orchester & Max Raabe \u201cLast Christmas\u201d<\/a> (English)<\/p>\n

The best, saddest-in-a-good-way version yet.
\nFrom the Kings of Convenience<\/strong> \/ Whitest Boy Alive<\/strong>:
\n Erlend \u00d8ye \u201cLast Christmas\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

THE BEST, WORST LAST CHRISTMAS<\/strong>:
\nBetween his accent and those (almost) high notes, this one\u2019s pure magic:<\/p>\n

El Pulpo \u201cLast Christmas\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

There’s so much more. Go explore the wonders at Last-Christmas.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

BONUS<\/strong>: Last Christmas Literal Version Video

This show makes my ears bleed. But in the spirit of giving, here’s the cast of\u00a0Glee<\/a> singing Last Christmas<\/em>.<\/p>\n
