I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas

Maintaining the animal-themed Christmas tune, here's the one my wife always waits for. Gayla Peevey's 1953 hit (and Dr. Demento favorite), I Want A Hippopotomus For Christmas. For more details on this song (and other holiday novelty tunes, be sure to go here. Included in this share is Peevey's second Christmas tune, 77 Santas.

Love your blog. I named mine after Gayla's 77 Santas!

Was it really sung by a little girl? It kinda sounds like an adult doing a cartoon kid voice.

It's always a little hard to tell, i guess ;)
