Today, we are very excited to bring you the premiere of Bad Mary’s video for their cover of Wham!’s “Last Christmas”! The song was originally released in 1984. The video was directed by guitarist David Henderson. Speaking about the cover, lead vocalist Amanda Mac said, "Up until now, we’ve gone with really traditional – almost hymnal – kind of Christmas songs.
