Ray Stevens - "Santa Claus Is Watching You" (Live at A Branson Country Christmas, 1993)

Here's Ray Stevens performing his classic, humorous holiday song "Santa Claus Is Watching You" live in Branson, MO for A Branson Country Christmas in 1993. This television special performance also features Janice Copeland and Yakov Smirnoff performing some of the iconic phrases from the song.
The original version was released in 1962 and made it all the way up to number 45 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Ray later re-recorded this song for his 1985 album "I Have Returned". That version of the song was also used for the popular music video.

I saved this in my watch later so I can watch it anytime I want. Plus my like list just in case. 😉

Good to see Yakoff Smirnov assist with the extra voices as well, only in Branson. Lol👍

[@ronniewatkins]

Hearing this tells me my Dad is looking down here, laughing, and wishing me a Merry Christmas from Heaven because we both loved this song so much!

[@norman.n.elizabethrideaux4783]

Idk how I came across this but I'm crying and laughing too. I miss my grandpa so much

[@beverlybondurant7444]

I’m with you on this and my Dad too❤🎉

[@Trysstar13]

False. The only One who is omnipotent etc is God. If your dad was born again in Jesus Christ then he is under the alter waiting to go to heaven...if not...well...sorry...

[@orangehornet57]

How nice! His "bandmates" must have rehearsed to get such good timing.

[@nbuehster]

The original was about kids.
This is about lovers.
I don't know how he'd change the lyrics, but I'm imagining a version about celebrities. After he says the names of the reindeer, and the other person asks where Rudolph is, Ray would say something about him being at a photo op.

Santa
