If I'm being brutally honest, I never would have predicted at the time of its release that "Last Christmas" by Wham! was destined to become a holiday classic. While I liked the British pop duo (and my friends loved them) we went to school with a lot of "tough" kids that were into heavy metal hair bands and sneaking cigarettes wherever they could.
Anyone that was into the sunny pop of George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley was easy fodder for these class bullies, who were immune to Wham! mania. The songs were viewed as cheesy and "gay" and "Last Christmas" was no exception. I mean just that line alone, "This year, to save me from tears, I'll give it to someone special" implied the singer was a wuss.
