If I mention the iconic 1980s band Wham!, what's the first thing that pops into your head? Odds are good it's their beloved hit, "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go," which will legit make any '80s kid jump out of their chair and start dancing and singing along.
The late George Michael's voice on that tune just had a way of turning any frown upside-down, making the song a cult classic that's been played on repeat for decades.
Just yesterday, the official TikTok account for Wham! shared a post celebrating a milestone anniversary for the hit song.
The overlay on the clip reads, "41 years ago, the ultimate feel-good pop song, 'Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go, was released."
Get ready to take a trip down memory lane.

Everyone was so saddened when George Michael suddenly passed away on Christmas in 2016. I'll never forget getting in the car and being so delighted to hear "Freedom" on the radio, only to realize the station was playing it because he had died.
Wham! member Andrew Ridgeley is now 62, and he was the one who inducted Michael into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2023.
The two of them will go down in history as one of the most celebrated acts of our time, and they'll likely be "waking up" generations of listeners for years to come.
