I can't be whammed due to not knowing what the song sounds like

[–] Catfish@aussie.zone 3 points 7 months ago

Does it count if it's only in your head?

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 points 7 months ago

Well done anyway 🏅 wear that proudly.

does it count if it's a cover and not the original?

[–] PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I heard a pretty lacklustre cover yesterday that I'd have been happy to be ignorant of for the rest of my life.

Edit: on googling I've discovered that there are altogether far too many covers of this song!

[–] imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 2 points 7 months ago

Well I heard the original then a Mariah song then a cover so I got got twice!

I think it's kind of easier these days if one avoids retail spaces. Good work nonetheless.

I don't think I've ever heard it. I don't know what it sounds like so wouldn't recognise it

I have however listened to wake me up a few times this month

Well since I can probably say I've not been whammed yet, I certainly ain't gonna let you be the one to whammy me

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

[–] Baku@aussie.zone 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)
