As we lurch towards the end of 2024, two of the songs frequently being recognised in ‘best of the year’ lists are Billie Eilish’s Birds Of A Feather and Chappell Roan’s Good Luck, Babe!, and it seems that we’re not the only ones to have spotted the similarities between both of these and another record that you’ll be hearing a lot at this time of year: Wham!’s Last Christmas.
In the case of Birds Of A Feather, the comparison is clear. Like Last Christmas, it’s in D major and uses the trusty I-vi-ii-V progression, so - as various people have demonstrated - creating a mash-up of the two songs is pretty straightforward.
