To think the singer in Santa baby has missed the point of what Santa is supposed to be?

[mayemerald]

I think she wants a rich husband not Santa!

She's certainly very grabby.

I hope he gives her coal and elf poop.

Or a well paid job maybe

Hope it's fake fur!

She's definitely after a sugar daddy. I'm never clear whether she's trying to seduce Santa. It's a good job Eartha Kitt had such a fabulous voice because those lyrics are all kinds of wrong

She covered it

Eartha Kitt!!

Eartha Kitt!!

I love Santa Baby. DH disapproves and thinks Eartha is a bad influence on me.

Or the Destiny's Child 8 days of Christmas.

Crass, materialistic nonsense.

I guess no one told Eartha that she needed to put a LIGHTHEARTED in the title of her song.

I can't stand that song.

I suppose it's the songwriter who's to blame for the lyrics. But why must people keep singing it.

Its a dreadful song and usually on when im food shopping!
Sugar daddy fits in better.

Always found that such a sleazy song. Particularly Kylie's over breathy sex kitten version. Stop trying to roger Santa you absolute creep.

My nine year old keeps singing this, she does it with all the breathy inflections which is both v funny and wildly inappropriate at once.

At least the singer is being honest about what she wants, rather than claiming that she doesn't give to recieve then ending up seething silently about the Bayliss and Harding gift set she got and starting a thread on here about her rubbish present.

I always thought it was a wife being sexy to her husband on Christmas Eve...as in the Dad playing "Santa"

It's definitely a song aimed at her sugar daddy.............

The worst line is the bit about wanting him to come help trim her Christmas tree. It always makes me think she wants a hand tidying up her pubes.

Marilyn Monroe also covered it. Seeing as it was written at a time when it was perfectly acceptable and even aspirational for a woman to call her spouse 'Daddy', particularly if he was older, I'm also going with the sugar daddy theory.

Cf. My heart belongs to Daddy.

Madonna also covered it.

IWouodLike yes, always makes me think of a spot of festive lady gardening. Do you think she goes for the full on vagazzle?

Rhoda absolutely! Glad it's not just me I reckon it is a dazzling affair probably involving tinsel.

This is absolutely possibly the best cover of this song.
