A Quote by Charlie Parker

Some guys said 'Here's bop!' Wham! They said, 'Here's something we can make money on!' Wham! 'Here's a comedian!' Wham! Here's a guy who talks funny talk!'

I guess because we're essentially a two-man band, we're attracting Wham's crowd. But Wham! are more of a businessman's band.

Curt Smith

It was a very lucky set of incidents that led to Wham! getting a record contract - although we weren't Wham! when we got the record contract. We were nothing; we were just two friends who had written a few songs.

George Michael

It's quite simple: I managed it by doing away with Wham!'s duo image. Obviously, the way I looked changed and that helped a little, but I still have a very pop image. It's a very video-friendly image. I find it a lot more real. It's a lot closer to who I am than the whole Wham! thing.

George Michael

The Wham! thing was, as I said, very confusing, and much of our image was totally fake.

George Michael

I'm kind of a low-key guy. The spotlight doesn't suit me. I'm more of a side dish--cole slaw or French fries or a Wham! backup singer.

Haruki Murakami

Wit: a whim followed by a wham.

Mason Cooley

Wham, bam, thank you Ma'am.

David Bowie

In the very early days of Wham! the attention felt great, but I do wonder how much freedom I gave away by trying to become something I wasn't.

George Michael

I had surprisingly little money when Wham! ended. You'd be very surprised how little, really, because you don't realize how much money it takes to maintain a band.

George Michael

My wife Shirlie was in Wham! when we met, so we were moving in the same circles.

Martin Kemp

My depression at the end of Wham! was because I was beginning to realise I was gay, not bi.

George Michael

I could write songs as bad as Wham's if I really felt the urge to, but what's the point?

Robert Smith

I look at you and wham, I'm head over heals. I guess that love is like a banana peel.

Elvis Presley

It's nice to think people might be talking about it after they've seen it. With some comedies it's a bit 'wham bam thank you ma'am', and then you just go for a pizza.
