Not familiar with Whamageddon? In a nutshell, it is a game that is played from 1-24 December (the end of the day on the 24th). Kind of like a live-action advent calendar, if you will, but with no chocolates or tiny bottles of liquor. For more information and the rules, you can visit Whamageddon here. It's very competitive among those that play - and those that don't. For instance, my office mate (back in the before times, when we were all going to the office every day) didn't play but knew what it was, so when we were all gathered in our lobby for a holiday lunch and playing holiday music on someone's phone, she suddenly shouted at me, "Nancy, RUN!" So I did. No questions asked, I just ran. Turned out that the original "Last Christmas" had come on someone's phone.
So I'm going to give you some Christmas music this month that won't make you run, hopefully. Well, this first one might, but only if you're a soft chuff who forgot the chip pan on the hob. This song was in the running for Christmas Number One in the UK a few years back and is a good warning for what not to do after those late-night holiday do stumbles home.
Chip Pan
by Everly Pregnant Brothers
It were half past eleven,
I got in from t’pub,
I were feelin’ hungry,
Feelin’ hungry.
In went into t’kitchen,
To cook up some grub.
I went and forgot it,
Like a soft chuff.
Ohhhh! Me chip pan’s on fire.
Should’ve had a pizza,
Or had a kebab.
I couldn’t be bothered.
I thought I were clever.
Now me ‘ouse is on fire,
And I’m out in t’street,
I’m in me pyjamas.
In pyjamas.
Ohhhh! Me chip pan’s on fire.
Noooo! Me chip pan’s on fire.
So if it’s half past eleven,
And you get in from t’pub.
You’re feelin’ ‘ungry,
A little peckish.
And you get into t’kitchen,
To cook up some grub.
Don’t go and forget it,
Like I did.
Noooo! Me chip pan’s on fire.
Noooo! Me chip pan’s on fire.
Noooo! Me chip pan’s on fire.
Noooo! Me chip pan’s on fire.
Dial 999.
