Singer Carly Rae Jepsen, known best for "Call Me Maybe" and her collaboration with Owl City on "Good Time," has just released her own version of "Last Christmas."

It's definitely more upbeat than Wham!'s original version. Jepsen's cover is flashy, and the sax and synth give "Last Christmas" a sense of sugary sweetness that fits well with Jepsen's vocals. If this isn't played in every high-end department store during the holiday season, I'd be very surprised. "Last Christmas" would make a remarkably good addition to almost any Christmas playlist, whether oriented around mall shopping or relaxing by the fire.
