Annie Zaleski

She might have even been 12.

I'd have to look up when her birthday was.

She was so young, and you wouldn't know it.

I mean, I think that's what's so incredible about that song is that she always sounded so much more sophisticated and adult than she actually was.

A hundred percent, you know, and she said that it was a turning point, you know, and that it's really, she called an interview, it breathed new life into the tune.

And, you know, it hit number one last year.

I mean, I think that's what's striking, you know, decades after it came out.

She, you know, it basically, you know, Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas is You parentally hits number one around the holiday season and Brenda Lee did last year.

Just unbelievable.

And it's funny when you think about it, you know, that was 40 years ago now, you know, and the Eagles was almost 45 years ago.

And so, you know, when we were growing up, those songs from the 40s and 50s, those were the classics.

So yeah, they are now the classics.

Wham's Last Christmas is so...

you know unbelievable because i think george michael especially has been getting a lot more credit for his songwriting his production you know in recent years and that song he basically wrote himself he was at his parents house and he was hanging out you know um andrew ridgely his wham bandmate was also there and he basically got inspiration and he went upstairs and he happened to have a keyboard in his childhood bedroom and started writing the song

And then he actually ended up recording it in the studio by himself.

There was just an engineer.

And he played the instruments on it, too, with some synthesizers and a drum machine.

And, you know, that was basically a George Michael production.

And that song is so funny because the interpretations of it vary so wildly.

You know, I mean, I've always said that...
