MISC

• For many years George wore a ring with his nickname YOG engraved on it. This ring was a present by his parents for his 21st birthday.

• Wham! appeared on top Of The Pops when Wake Me Up had reached No. 1, wearing t-shirts that had Number One printed at the front. The next week they had to come back, as they were still at No. 1. The night before George's sister sewed lots of little shiny stones on George's shirt. This made the shirt so heavy that it swung from one side to the other while he danced.

• Dick James Music, who owned the rights to the song Can't Smile Without You by Barry Manilow, claimed that Last Christmas was a lot like Manilow's hit. They were going to sue, but withdrew their claim just before it was supposed to go to court.

• Although George performed at the Linda McCartney concert for animal rights, he is not a vegetarian. He doesn't eat red meat though.

• The sunglasses George wore at the NetAid concert were made by 'Cutler & Gross' in London at Knightsbridge Green and they cost approximately 130 pounds.

• ‘Baby’. Definitions from a standard dictionary will include examples such as
  “very young child”, “thing small of its kind”, and “sweetheart”.  Here’s a
  bit of totally useless trivia about our man, George Michael.
  
  Throughout ‘Faith’ (the album), I counted George using the word ‘baby’ 35
  times - 4 in Faith, 6 in Father Figure, 4 in I Want Your Sex (P.1), 6 in I
  Want Your Sex (P.2), 2 in Hard Day, 2 in Hand To Mouth, 3 in Look At Your
  Hands, and 8 in Monkey. This excludes the 3 others used in Shep Pettibone’s
  Hard Day.
  
  Throughout ‘Listen Without Prejudice’, George uses ‘baby’ 13 times – 3 in
  Waiting For That Day, 1 in Mothers Pride, and 9 in Soul Free.
  
  Throughout ‘Older’, I counted 30 ‘babies’. 13 in Fastlove (excluding Jo’s
  “Ooh, oooh, baby, baby – about 40), 3 in Older, 9 in Spinning The Wheel
  (excluding Jo’s “Baby loves”), 1 in Move On, and 4 in Star People.
