Eartha Kitt... Damn, she knew how to sing that song!
She knew how to do everything. Best Catwoman, paws down.
100% Sorry Julie Newmar.
You know who got it in the long run? Eartha Kitt when I nailed her in the airplane bathroom.
What? It came up organically...
Same here, im fine with either of the Eartha Kitt versions, the Madonna version and the others are a lot more obnoxious
I forgot about the song for a sec and was sitting here wondering what the hell Santa ever did to you
Christmas music makes me a total grinch itβs terrible
Years of holiday retail soured me to it honestly, brings out the best in people...
Where did Santa touch you?
In the retail outlet.
I feel this so very much lol. Working in retail (or food) and your boss plays the radio? All year, always the same ~50 songs a day... except Nov 1 - Jan 1, when it becomes the same 20 Jesus themed songs on repeat 6x times a day, and not even different versions.
The only one that gets a pass is the Charlie Brown one, it helps that it's instrumental.
Yes, but where? Und slooowly
puts on little round glasses, does a bump of cocaine, and pulls out therapy notes. Says, in an Austrian accent:
Vell you see. OP vas not ze one touched by der Santa Clauz, no. In die zong, eine voman zings zeductively - offering herzelf to Herr Santa. OP's irrational anger upon merely hearing Santa Baby surely relates to zer own zexual unfufilment. OP is angry because he vas not touched by Herr Santa... or by anyvon.
Somewhere uncomfortable
My mom loves this song and tries to sing it all sexy and its so cringe that I feel my soul leave my body
Mine too I feel your pain
The Song? I love Santa Baby. Easy top 10 xmas track for me and likely top 5.
Sadly yes. There are people who love the saccharine sweetness of Christmas and what it represents. It is part of the reason why Christmas has taken over American Thanksgiving.
It was the happiest time of the year for a large number of adults when they were children and they keep wanting to go back to that happiness.
"Back in my day" it was a good time because the rest of the year things were tough for the average family, and things were expensive. Christmas somehow had parents scrape together enough for chocolate and toys. And lots of visitors.
Not enough innuendo, a lot of missed opportunities. I mean you have cookies and milk, totally unused. Like "fill my stocking with a duplex" could easily have been "fill my stocking with gifts from your sack". Is she even trying?
"Simmmmmply
Haaaaavving
A Wonderful Christmas Time!"
I'm with you, christmas songs are already on my shitlist from being force fed them on repeat while working (which I'm pretty sure is against the Geneva Convention), and that one has always been one of the worst.
I hate the cutesy little voice that sings it and it's a weird song, is she going to fuck the mythical creature, or is she going to fuck her parents (the real "Santa")? She clearly wants to fuck one of em I'm just not clear which.
And how damn old is she? You think Leo and his 25yos are bad, what about Nick over here being 1,730ish years older than her?!
is she going to fuck the mythical creature, or is she going to fuck her parents (the real "Santa")?
Neither. She's singing to her boyfriend (not husband - "forgot to mention one little thing a ring") and listing the presents she'd like, plus IMO heavily implying sex as a reward.

You know, I once had sex with Eartha Kitt in an airplane bathroom
It's the original sugar baby song
I love Santa Baby
It ain't my favorite either. But it's a popular song. I do doubt those exact sentenced were said, by virtue of being a little awkwardly phrased, but I have seen and heard people being happy to hear the song, or to use it as their first Christmas song as they verbiage celebrate the season.
It doesn't bother me any more than any other over-played song.
That song is super tacky, makes me cringe every time
Santa baby, stick a sick old man in a tree, for me. I've been an awful person. Santa baby, so hurry, drown, and kill a small child.
