I first heard it as a teenager and it blew me away. Wow, what a smokin' Christmas song. Power from beginning to end. There's just trademark Elvis swagger and Memphis blues all over it. (Love that hah hah hah before Dudley comes in with the piano solo!) Why didn't RCA release this as a single in the US when it came out? Dudley Brooks' piano...wow oh wow...and that ending just gives me chills. Wow!!
To have the word 'cadillac' in a Christmas song says it all. A great blues song and I wish Elvis had done more of this style in his career. He sang this with style and swagger
@@j.campbell8491 You stole food and air. Get bent. The only people that say that are jealous and they never did anything, so they sit around and bitch.
He did not steal he helped it grow! Even BB King said he helped them become bigger. I personally love Gospel and Blues. Blues especially I've felt it like no one else.
Probably the best Christmas song ever recorded. Yet you never hear it on the radio or in the supermarket. Sad depriving people of the the greatest rendition of Santa Claus is back in town ever.
Elvis Presley - vocals Scotty Moore - guitar Bill Black - bass D. J. Fontana - drums Dudley Brooks - piano The Jordanaires (Gordon Stoker, Neal Matthews, Jr., Hoyt Hawkins, and Hugh Jarrett) -- backing vocals
Oh yes he did. All the great musicians practiced and rehearsed a LOT. Often treating it like a job, about 5-10 hours a day! He practiced so much he made it seem easy, and relaxed.
Truth! And don't forget: Brenda Lee "Rockin Around The Christmas Tree", Chuck Berry "Run Rudolph, Run", Drifters "White Christmas", and the original version of "Jingle Bell Rock"!
Elvis' rendition of "Santa Claus Is Back In Town" is definitely the best rendition of it. Elvis surely had a unique singing voice and Elvis was surely also unique. There definitely won't ever be a greater singer or performer than Elvis. Elvis will truly always remain The King of music and entertainment.
Have you heard the version of this song by Kurt Russell in the movie "The Christmas Chronicles" ? I think it's pretty awesome too, that became one of my fav version of it 😊
My favorite Xmas songs:Blue Christmas and Santa Claus is Back in Town by Elvis, Pretty Paper by Willie. Hippopotamus for Christmas by Gayla Peavey. Nuttin' For Christmas by Stan Freberg. Please Come Home For Christmas by The Eagles. Everybody'Waiting on The Man With The Bag and Marshmallow World by Seth MacFarlane. Santa Baby by Eartha Kitt.
this and if everyday was like christmas are his best xmas songs!! all his christmas songs are stunning, unique and beautiful..no one does it like elvis!! 2023 and we miss you more than ever elvis 🕊️ bless his sweet soul 🤍
They were short one song for the Christmas album,Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller went into an empty studio and wrote this song in less than an hour and Elvis perfected the recording in 7 takes...that Ladies and Gentlemen is talent!!
@Marty's 4x4 Hi Marty It's definitely 7 takes as I have seen the session logs for that particular day...the rest as you say varies widely. I don't think it would have taken them a whole day so 1 hour,couple of hours or an afternoon would be the most credible. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel I hope you continue to enjoy it and Happy New Year to you. Steve
Well, it's Christmas time, pretty baby And the snow is falling on the ground (Christmas, Christmas) Well, it's Christmas time, pretty baby And the snow is falling down (Christmas, Christmas) Well, you be a real good, little girl Santa Claus is back in town (Christmas, Christmas) Got no sleigh with reindeer No sack on my back You're gonna see me comin' In a big black Cadillac Oh-oh, it's Christmas time, pretty baby (Christmas, Christmas) And the snow is falling on the ground (Christmas, Christmas) Well, you be a real good, little baby Santa Claus is back in town (Christmas, Christmas) Hang up your pretty stockings And turn off the light Santa Claus is comin' Down your chimney tonight Oh-oh, it's Christmas time, pretty baby (Christmas, Christmas) And the snow is falling on the ground (Christmas, Christmas) Well, you be a real good, little baby Santa Claus is back in town
I have been getting into classics like dean Martin and frank sienatra so its fitting that one of my favorites is Elvis, and since we are in December now, it's fitting
This is the No1, the Holy Grail of Christmas songs, nothing even comes close
I first heard it as a teenager and it blew me away. Wow, what a smokin' Christmas song. Power from beginning to end. There's just trademark Elvis swagger and Memphis blues all over it.

Coming down your chimney tonight 🥰
Clinical studies show that listening to Elvis sing the blues lifts mood by 100%.
No doubt about it!
Merry Christmas 🎅
I don't care for Christmas music but Elvis's version of this song is the best by far
One of the best Christmas classics in my opinion
its really underrated tho
@@laurareinoso8442 Oh yeah. Very much so.
To have the word 'cadillac' in a Christmas song says it all. A great blues song and I wish Elvis had done more of this style in his career. He sang this with style and swagger
Elvis stole black music
@@j.campbell8491 You stole food and air. Get bent. The only people that say that are jealous and they never did anything, so they sit around and bitch.
He did not steal he helped it grow! Even BB King said he helped them become bigger.
I personally love Gospel and Blues. Blues especially I've felt it like no one else.
@@j.campbell8491cry me a river. 🎻
He did too
And this is how you sing a rock n roll Christmas song
It's great for a strip tease, too 😋
I still play Elvis Christmas songs. Keeping the family tradition alive, miss you Dad💜
Does he read youtube comments from beyond the grave or something
@@rancidcrawfishthat’s so fucked up
What is wrong with you@@rancidcrawfish
So uncalled for @rancidcrawfish
Nobody sings like Elvis! Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas!
Probably the best Christmas song ever recorded. Yet you never hear it on the radio or in the supermarket. Sad depriving people of the the greatest rendition of Santa Claus is back in town ever.
You can hear in Starbucks. I did yesterday in a Starbucks in Thailand.
It used to play on the radio in my area. Have not heard it on FM radio since 2021.
Agreed. Happy Xmas 2024! RCA should re-release this for Xmas 2025. It would get to No1. New generation hasn't heard of it. No-brainer.🌲
Elvis has the best holiday music
Elvis sings it so the double entendres still feel naughty. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL❤
If love the sexual innuendos is wrong ,then I don't want to be right.
Elvis got down and dirty on this classic
Needs to get more air time. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!! 🎅 🧑🎄
One and only: Elvis Presley!!!
Best rock in roll christmas song
"You're gonna see me comin' in a big black Cadillac....." love that line
Elvis ,the gift that keeps on giving pleasure to my ears for the last 60 years...
WOW!! he sure could sing , love this one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who else could have done the blues with such rockin' enthusiasm! Nobody but Elvis!!
This song brings a smile on my face!!!!
The King ! Merry Christmas! ❤
Rip to Elvis Presley the king of Rock n Roll we still miss you
i love this christmas album elvis is timeless
Elvis is our gift for Christmas 💖
YEAH!!!!
Not mine...
@@rozilla_the_savage4445 WTF did you ever do? Who do you like? Oh yeah you are more famous than Elvis. How many records did you sell?
This has to be one of the greatest Christmas songs of all time. Definitely in my top 3 now. Thanks Bad Santa 2!
Good ol’ Elvis!!
This is the Blues
Elvis Presley - vocals
Scotty Moore - guitar
Bill Black - bass
D. J. Fontana - drums
Dudley Brooks - piano
The Jordanaires (Gordon Stoker, Neal Matthews, Jr., Hoyt Hawkins, and Hugh Jarrett) -- backing vocals
Col. Parker--Robbing Elvis and the Presley family BLIND!!!!
Masterpiece
Absolutely! Compare this to "Here Comes Santa Claus" on the album which is just silly nonsense.
YEEEESSSS!!!!...ELVIS SANG THIS SONG WITH HEART, & SOUL!!!..🎅🎄♥️👑⚡👑
Elvis really put it in this song!! No one could do this song ...like Elvis!!!❤❤❤
Raw talent, didn't have to work at being great as long as he was himself. Sensational recording. Gets the holiday blood flowing.
Oh yes he did. All the great musicians practiced and rehearsed a LOT. Often treating it like a job, about 5-10 hours a day! He practiced so much he made it seem easy, and relaxed.
No auto tune needed.
We all have to work at being great.
That is exactly right! There is no such thing as genius or talent without serious commitment, and discipline.
Always brings a smile….no one can touch this version
badass tune
CLASSIC
Elvis rules Christmas music. Try his Blue Christmas or I'll Be Home for Christmas. So so good. ❤️🎄
This is absolutely my kind of Christmas song, none of that cheesy all I want for Christmas etc.
Eh its cheesy but the good type of cheesy
Have you heard of JD McPherson and his Christmas album called, Socks?
Truth! And don't forget: Brenda Lee "Rockin Around The Christmas Tree", Chuck Berry "Run Rudolph, Run", Drifters "White Christmas", and the original version of "Jingle Bell Rock"!
@@freedomslight9580Nice tip! Merry Christmas! 😊
I like that cheesy kind of Christmas music, so there.
Elvis' rendition of "Santa Claus Is Back In Town" is definitely the best rendition of it.

This was my very first exposure to the BLUES, when I was like 8 years old...almost 50 years later, still love the blues...
My sons 12 and likes the blues because of Elvis.
I hope he gets to listen to some great musicians at Christmas
Bella bella bella!!!solo Elvis può cantare così!
Christmas Rock & Roll ✨🌨❄🎹⛄
A lot of winter memories with this song
Elvis is the Christmas present. ❤
My dad loved Elvis and loved this song. His favorite part was 0:43-0:53
Well, it's Christmas time, pretty baby
And the snow is falling on the ground
(Christmas, Christmas)
Well, it's Christmas time, pretty baby
And the snow is falling down
(Christmas, Christmas)
Well, you be a real good, little girl
Santa Claus is back in town (Christmas, Christmas)
Got no sleigh with reindeer
No sack on my back
You're gonna see me comin'
In a big black Cadillac
Oh-oh, it's Christmas time, pretty baby (Christmas, Christmas)
And the snow is falling on the ground (Christmas, Christmas)
Well, you be a real good, little baby
Santa Claus is back in town (Christmas, Christmas)
Hang up your pretty stockings
And turn off the light
Santa Claus is comin'
Down your chimney tonight
Oh-oh, it's Christmas time, pretty baby (Christmas, Christmas)
And the snow is falling on the ground (Christmas, Christmas)
Well, you be a real good, little baby
Santa Claus is back in town
You going to see me coming in a big black cadillac!!💖💖
