Fundraiser against Last Christmas

Protagonists of the (curious and absurd) initiative of the writer Thomas Mazetti55, and his painter wife Hanna, 33 years. So far, they’ve managed to raise $62,100 for the “cause”: banning the song by the English pop duo, which includes the singer GeorgeMichael and the guitarist Andrew Ridgeley. So far, 327 have said they are willing to support the company. But the undertaking is really difficult and very unlikely. The rights to the song actually belong to Warner Chappell Music UK. Rights valued at between $15 million and $25 million.

Destroy the master

The ‘evil’ couple claim that if they reach their destination, the song’s master – the original 1984 recording – will be ‘dumped at a Finnish nuclear waste site’. Hannah, who lives in Gothenburg, said her hatred of the tune began 13 years ago when she was working in an Oxford cafe and was forced to listen to the song at Christmas time. “One day my colleagues and I had to listen to it 111 times in a single day,” he says.

To plan

His hatred slept for years until last year, while discussing the song with some friends, he realized that if they could, they would pay never to hear the song again. “Then someone told us that it was theoretically possible to buy the rights to the song and then get it from all streaming platforms,” ​​he added. The hope – very illusory – is that the millions of dollars needed to begin negotiations with Warner Chappell Music over the purchase will be raised. Happy Harvest.
