“Last Christmas” by A. Hürth (Wise Guys) turns the classic Wham! chorus into a playful German mini-movie. Our unlucky hero recalls last year’s snowy streets, tinsel in his hair, a belly full of Christmas goose, and one gigantic disappointment: he gave his sweetheart a gingerbread heart that read “Du süße Maus,” only to watch her toss it straight into the trash the very next day. With mock-dramatic flair he lists every sting—the wasted money, the tears in his pillow, even the thought of decorating himself with a bauble—until the whole scene feels like a festive sitcom gone wrong.
But this time he has a plan. Instead of splurging on Chanel perfume or risking another broken heart, he vows to save his tears and gift his love to “someone special.” Behind the jokes and catchy refrain lies a feel-good lesson: learn from last year’s pain, keep your sense of humor, and remember that the best present is giving your heart to someone who truly values it.
