What is the best song that is associated with a holiday (it does not have to be a Christmas song--it can be linked to any holiday)? Now, you have to explain your answer and break the song down. For example, Last Christmas by Wham is a really deep song on many levels. The speaker is caught up in the feelings of the season--he gives his heart away too easily. The classic Latin allusion, One bitten, Twice shy, is used to show how the speaker is now very hesitant to enter into a new relationship. It is Christmas time again, and he is still suffering the pain from...Last Christmas. Also, to add to the beauty of this song, the video is AMAZING. The existential crisis that the speaker is suffering is accentuated by the fact that the woman who stomped on his heart is at the same house WITH A DIFFERENT MAN! She too must be suffering from the incident because she is wearing the pin that the speaker gave to her LAST CHRISTMAS. Overall, this a beautiful ballad, demonstrating the sonorous tones of George Michael's golden pipes, and his hair is totally on point (and feathered) in the video. Taking in the content of the song and the video, Last Christmas is the best holiday song.
