Last Christmas - So simple, yet so clever
How a drum machine and one synth elevated Wham and "Last Christmas" into a legendary Christmas evergreen. A Linndrum drum machine and a Roland Juno-60 in addition to George Michael's fantastic vocals. A song with only 4 chords and no chorus shouldn't work, but it does because it's so clever.
Hated by many, loved by many more. Whamageddon. This is my ultimate Christmas favourite song.
In this video I show you how cool the drum track is built up and how clever the synth arrangement is. All done by George Michael himself at the time. He proved that technical skills in terms of playing is nothing. Ideas and creativity is everything.
