wham!

The first time I saw this video I was with my Dad, we were Christmas shopping at the Super Mall of the Great Northwest.

It's really just an outlet mall. And really not that super.

While we were in Oshman's looking at overpriced running shoes they had random tv's placed about the store playing holiday music videos.

The one that caught my Dads' ear was WHAM!, singing Last Christmas.

We stood there while the hustle and bustle of the other shoppers went by us. Nobody paid any attention to us shaking our hips to George Michael pretending he was a straight guy.

And now that another holiday is upon us, my Dad has decided that he needs to keep with a tradition he started a few years ago when he was in the hospital about 13 times in that year.

He always seemed to be admitted around the major holidays. We just figured it was his way of getting out of spending quality family time with us.

And now since Christmas is just around the corner, his ravaged body decided that it needed to go back into the hospital for another round of scaring the crap of his family.

Fine, Dad.

We'll get you those blue snakeskin shoes you've always wanted.

That way you'll look real sweet shaking your hips to WHAM!
