#Whamageddon rules question

This is a LIVE POST. Am sitting at the table with dd. That Song has just come on the radio. It's playing right now! I'm out.

But dd is cheerfully humming along to it without having realised that It's The Song!! We play Whamageddon every year so she knows the game - she just hasn't clicked. Is she still in?

Nope! She’s out too 😳

ReachedTheEndofCake · 08/12/2022 03:46

Definitely out, be funny to see if she realises!
My rule question… if I heard it in November, but haven’t since Dec 1st - in or out?

TinfoilTwat · 08/12/2022 03:49

She wants to know why I am looking at her funny.

She's out.

The game starts in December, if you heard it in November you are still in.

I got knocked out 10 minutes ago. Damn!

Is it still Whamaggeddon if it’s not Wham singing? I got caught out by a Backstreet Boys cover and don’t know if I’m still in?

No, only Wham counts.

exLtEveDallas · 08/12/2022 06:34

Woo hoo, still in!

Still in - Whamageddon starts on 1st of December.

What about if you only hear it in the background from the tv advertising 'Now that's what I call Christmas', just a 5 second splash?

I had never heard of whamageddon until last week when I saw a thread on it. Thought this sounds fun then got in the car and it came on straight away 🙄 then as soon as it finished I changed radio station and it came on the next channel so that was some short lived fun ! How do people manage to go so long without hearing it do you avoid the radio altogether? And just hope it doesn't come on while you are in any shops ?

GoingtotheWinchester · 08/12/2022 07:46

@BlackCatTabbyCat i spend a lot of time listening to Radio 4 😂

NooNakedJacuzziness · 08/12/2022 07:52

I'm still in too - I stick Magic Christmas on at least twice a day (just to keep things interesting) but I still haven't heard it!

ReachedTheEndofCake · 08/12/2022 14:00

@NooNakedJacuzziness oooh living on the edge!

AdventAdventure · 08/12/2022 14:52

@TinfoilTwat she's still in. Fourth rule, you are out as soon as you recognise the song. If she hasn't recognised it, she is in. www.whamageddon.com/

BettyBootsie · 08/12/2022 16:22

She is only out when she herself realises the song in playing!

Herbie0987 · 08/12/2022 16:30

Still in😃

AmazingBouncingFerret · 08/12/2022 16:32

like others have said, she’s not out unless she realises what she is humming along to.

Cookerhood · 08/12/2022 16:36

Definitely in until she recognises it!

Oysterbabe · 08/12/2022 16:44

I have obviously not spent enough time on the Internet, I haven't heard of Whamageddon. I prefer cat videos.

no it isn't.. it has to he the original. you sre still in.

Iwantamarshmallowman · 08/12/2022 16:45

I heard a clip of it on an instragram story today am I out?

TinfoilTwat · 08/12/2022 17:59

Interesting. My instinct was that she was still in because she didn't realise, but the first half of the thread all said she was out. Now the consensus is that she's still in!

@Iwantamarshmallowman I'd say you're out.
