Last Christmas I gave you my heart 
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears 
I'll give it to someone special 
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance, but you still catch my eye
Tell me baby, do you recognize me?
Well, it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me 
Happy Christmas, I wrapped it up and sent it 
With a note saying "I love you", I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been 
But if you kissed me now, I know you'd fool me again
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Ooh
Oh, oh, baby
A crowded room, friends with tired eyes 
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
My God, I thought you were someone to rely on
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on 
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover, but you tore me apart
Oh, oh now I've found a real love 
You'll never fool me again
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special, special
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Special
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart (I gave you mine)
A man under cover but you tore him apart
Maybe next year I'll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone special

As the 3rd rule is only the original version applies, what about the Mash-up version with Wham, Slayer and Rammstein?
It's the best version ever 
Can't post the YouTube link, though, as it has a letter/number combination in the link that is apparently a banned word, so if you want to listen, search for Bill McClintock - Slam! - South of Christmas. |

If you hear the original played and recognise it, you’re out. Doesn’t matter if it’s 5 seconds or the full song. And yes, adverts and overhearing anywhere when out and about count. |

Im still surviving..... God knows how ha ha |

Still in, but I must admit, for the sake of this challenge, I haven’t left the house since Friday, and disconnected all media. Also wearing noise cancelling headphones, just in case of some nasty sabotage.
The prize is mine

Still in. Weekend Christmas markets were tricky. Stayed outside for school fair with Spotify and gave out cash to kid if he needed something. Later heard it was the main song as background music so.. bad parenting for the win! |

I got knocked out on Saturday. Watched The Holiday, and it was playing in the background! |

Remaining quietly confident - usually only sports, news and history channel on tv, and 5Live on the radio. It's in the bag.
BTW - what's the prize? |

I'm going for my first outing in a week to my local shops.
I have a bad feeling about this. |

Made it back safely from the shops. No one seems to be in the Christmas spirit yet.

They played a version of it in Spanish, so I survived the Christmas party. |
