Song of the Day: Last Christmas by Taylor Swift


Sorry, Wham fans.  This will always be a Taylor Swift song to me.

Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone special

Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone special

Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance
But you still catch my eye
Tell me, baby
Do you recognize me?
Well, it’s been a year
It doesn’t surprise me

Merry Christmas

I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying “I love you”
I meant it
Now I know what a fool I’ve been
But if you kissed me now
I know you’d fool me again

Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone special

Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone special

Oh, oh, baby

A crowded room
Friends with tired eyes
I’m hiding from you
And your soul of ice
My god, I thought you were someone to rely on
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover, but you tore me apart
Now I’ve found a real love. You’ll never fool me again

Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone special

Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone special

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
I gave you my heart
A man under cover, but you tore him apart
Maybe next year I’ll give it to someone—
I’ll give it to someone special

Special
Someone
Someone
I’ll give it to someone—
I’ll give it to someone special

Who give me something in return
I’ll give it to someone—
Hold my heart and watch it burn
I’ll give it to someone—

I’ll give it to someone—
I’ll give it to someone special

I thought you were here to stay
How could you love me for a day
I thought you were someone special

Gave you my heart

I’ll give it to someone—
I’ll give it to someone—

Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
You gave it away

I’ll give it to someone—
I’ll give it to someone—

Music Video of the Day: Last Christmas by Backstreet Boys (2022, dir by Bill Fishman)


Every year, in December, I am stunned to be reminded that Taylor Swift was not the first to sing this song.  Instead, Last Christmas started as a Wham song and apparently, every group has to cover it in December.  This year, the Backstreet Boys took a swing at it.  So, let’s get in the holiday spirit, shall we?

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Last Christmas by Crazy Frog (2010, dir by ????)


Personally, I absolutely adore the Taylor Swift version of this song but sadly, Taylor’s never done an official music video for it.

As for this version, it features everyone’s favorite Swedish CGI creation saving Santa Claus from …. something.  I guess Santa somehow managed to lock himself up in his workshop or something.  I don’t know.  I’m also not sure what exactly the Crazy Frog is supposed to be.  Apparently, he was originally known as “The Annoying Thing” and his creator is adamant that he is neither a frog nor is he crazy.

But, at least he was able to save Santa.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Last Christmas by Alcazar (2009, dir by ????)


In all honesty, I prefer Taylor Swift’s version of Last Christmas.  However, as I shared last weekend, Taylor Swift has never released an official video for Last Christmas.

However, Alcazar did!  So, here you go.

Of course, Last Christmas was originally performed by Wham!  Val shared their version last Christmas.

Enjoy!
