It’s impossible to make it through the holidays without hearing Wham!’s “Last Christmas” at least a half dozen times. It’s a nostalgic Christmas song that has somewhat miraculously extended well beyond its years. It’s lyrically sad and musically upbeat. I like Jimmy Eat World’s cover. They sing it a little differently. They play it with a little more dynamism. And they find a less expected holiday sound with Jimmy-style guitar and synth.

“Last Christmas I gave you my heart. But the very next day you gave it away.”
