I'm always so disappointed when this comes on the radio and it's the Madonna version or worse, the modern version sung by a random girl who sounds like everyone else.
She died on Christmas Day, 2008. After not knowing her actually birthday for most of her life, a few years before she died a group of University students saught it out, January 17, 1927. A true original!
Mom's birthday is January17, 1924. She'll be happy to hear this. Years ago I purchased a small jukebox with this tune at a local hallmark stationery store and my young nieces loved playing it every Christmas.
True story: Eartha made a personal appearance at the Gay Men's Health Center NYC, shortly after Madonna had released her version of the song. When asked what she thought of it, she purred, "She did the best that she could." The room errupted in laughter and thunderous applause...I was there
There's no contest. Eartha's version is sly, sultry, seductive, subtle ... psychological! Madonna's version is just - "Santa baby, I'm a great big whore for you!"
Co-signing this! The best Catwoman period! I grew up with the Tim Burton Batman movies, so Michelle Pfeiffer was my first Catwoman, and who I dressed up as for Halloween when I was 8, but Eartha Kitt will always be Catwoman! 🐈⬛ 💕 🐈⬛
@@frankrodriguez6998 what are you talking about lol you did this for what😭 I don’t need to do anything I’ve been a fan of her movies shows and music for years she is inspirational for black people in general I listen to jazz since i was a toddler I said what I said I’m not going to change a thing love but try again if you want 😂💀
Orson Welles once called her the world's most exciting women in the world who knows they could have been bed partners between the sheets with a comment like that!

WOW ALL THESE MANY YEARS GOD JESUS BLESS ME TOO LIVE ON THIS EARTH I HEAR THAT SONG COME ON RADIO NEVER NEW THAT WAS EARTHA KITT NOT ONLY WAS SHE A GOOD ACTRESS PLAYING CAT WOMAN IN BATMAN SHE HAD THE MOST BEAUTIFUL VOICE IN THE WORLD KNOW ONE CAN NEVER SING THIS SONG LIKE SHE DO SO EXCELLENT & BEAUTIFUL
I am certain that I am not the only one who finds joy in listening to Christmas music throughout the year. It serves as both my lullaby and my source of cheer. May God bless us all.
Eartha Kitt's Santa Baby song is actually my favorite Christmas song. I hate it! when the radio station plays, Santa baby, sung by another artist! No one can beat this original!
"First, I'll have the most soothing, Christmas-y voice ever , then, I'll record what will, no doubt, be the best Christmas classic of all time, and so, I'll be immortalized as one of the best performers to ever walk the EARTH. Hahahaha! Oh, it's brilliant. Brilliant! BRILLIANT!"
Was very lucky to have seen her perform in "Follies" at the Shaftesbury Theatre in London (4 times) and then again in cabaret/concert at the Sydney Hilton Hotel ... what an amazing performer!
It’s so crazy she was so well known for a Christmas song and she died on Christmas Day in 2008. Ngl I was obsessed with her music and roles in fifth grade and I still love her music to this day. RIP Eartha Kitt.
i wish i had been fortunate enough to have seen eartha kitt perform this, but who knew there would one day be music videos back in 1953 or 54 when she did this song. absent the possibility of seeing a scratchy looking b/w video of her recording this song, this animated version is an acceptable substitute. the animated character does capture the essence of ms kitt. and, like others have commented, if eartha ain't singing it, i don't need to hear it. my thanks to whoever took the time to put this together, it is definitely well done.
WOW!!! She is a goddess.Ijust saw a picture of her when she was in her 20's maybe early 30's I'm in love.BACK IN THE DAY INTER RASIAL RELATION WERE PROHIBITED.I would let them burn me at the stake just too have a angle such as her by my side.AGAIN I SAY WOW!!!
Her version will always remain the best. She effortlessly expresses that he's her sugar daddy and she's been missing out on fun and all the other men she really wants so she deserves all the loot. All the other versions sound like the woman is excited by and coming on to Santa which couldn't be further from the point.
Merry Christmas in Advance to anyone reading this. May you have a happy, healthy and prosperous new year. we lived through this year. at the very least we'll have great stories 10 years from now.
Eartha Kitty. A class act and legend. She didn't get the respect she deserved. A shame they blackballed her. But then again, who can handle a strongminded Black woman with her own opinions? RIP Angel. Hope you finally got your gifts. ❤
How is this Yzma!?!?!!? Holy cow I've always known this song I love her voice and she was iconic for thid and for being yzma I'm sad i didn't realize this sooner! She was soo amazing and i hope she is in paradise! 💜💞😭😥
Oh yeah! I have heard other singers sing this song, but nobody gives it the zing like Eartha Kitt! She died 12 years ago this day. Thank you for this song Miss Kitt. Nobody does it like you!!!
Think about how trailblazing Kitt was. An attractive black woman who took the music world by storm. A spot that (at the time) was often reserved for very specific types of Aesthetic expected from PoC. She gets a hit like Santa Baby, sings anogjdf song song where she literally sings about wanting to be evil. She then becomes a reccuring character on Batman. And decades and decades later voiced Yzma in a renaissance style Disney movie. But all these years later she isn't seen in the regard as other trailblazer artists over the years were. And I thunk that is such a damn shame. But even if posthumously she doesn't get the recognition I think she deserved, I'm so grateful for her art that can live on and inspire today.
B, Let’s Find-Out How Santa Has Access To All These Wonderful Things To Give Away To GOOD PEOPLE, & Then Show Everyone How To Get It For Themselves That Is SO MUCH MORE FUN 🎅 🤩 💃🏽 🎄
Yet another but of proof Eartha Kitt is one of the best singers and actresses this song, her time as Catwoman and Snuff out the light she was amazing Rest In Piece miss Kitt
I’m 60 every time I hear this I think of my aunt.She acted out & lip syncing this song every Christmas night for our family . Feather boa& all god rest her soul & all my other aunts & uncles. They are enjoying themselves up in heaven having a great time.
Nobody can sing this song as good as Eartha Kitt. Legendary.
I'm always so disappointed when this comes on the radio and it's the Madonna version or worse, the modern version sung by a random girl who sounds like everyone else.
I love her singing too
Well said
absolutely agree
Please try listening to Eartha's song @ the '2' speed--It's the BEST!
She died on Christmas Day, 2008. After not knowing her actually birthday for most of her life, a few years before she died a group of University students saught it out, January 17, 1927. A true original!
Really, that's crazy.
Wow
That's my birthday lmao

That's today! Happy birthday Eartha!

😂😂😂😂 Oh my, poor Madonna
There’s a video somewhere on TH-cam where Eartha says: “I used to have a lot of fun with this song…then Madonna sang it.”
Well dang😂
she was iconic
There's no contest. Eartha's version is sly, sultry, seductive, subtle ... psychological! Madonna's version is just - "Santa baby, I'm a great big whore for you!"
If Eartha Kitt ain't singing this I don't wanna hear it

Yes and this video really captures her essence ❤

Thank You.. Merry Christmas 🎄 🎁

Thank you 🌟
This is very beautifully put together. There will never be a version of this song better than Eartha Kitt’s
Shes the og
I agree
Nope the nightcore version is better lol and this is so old 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@pusheen7742 old is gold. And what are you doing listening to a Christmas song in July?🤨
@@pusheen7742 Nightcore is just pitch heightened and sped up edits of the original songs.
A real classic I love it I miss Eartha Kitt seeing her animated again in different stages is dope my favorite cat woman of all time

So true. She's fly. We should make song together. I have connection s amiga

Mine too. 😻
It's only the Second day of Christmas, let's keep it going
She was an original. Ms. KITT was before her time in many respects.
So many references to this amazing woman's career
Especially Catwoman.
And yzma from new Groove

Right ❤❤❤

14 years
Love this. Her singing is effortless and smooth.
Don’t let it distract you, if you haven’t paid attention, She asked a lot of expensive things, trust me she’s a gold digger.
@@evanholloway1692 its Santa. Of course she asks for expensive stuff.
Is she an alto?
@@evanholloway1692that’s the whole point of the songb
@@evanholloway1692 She's a gorgeous woman that values herself because everyone knows she's worth everything she desires. Melania Trump's of the world.
If it’s not Eartha singing /her/ signature song, count me out.
She owns the song: every key change and the melody
She passed away exactly 12 years ago on Christmas Day 😥 Rest in peace Eartha Kitt!!!
Right ❤❤
No it’s 15 years ago

Ba-boom
Santa baby, just slip a Sable under the tree for me
Been an awful good girl
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa baby, a '54 convertible too, light blue
I'll wait up for you, dear
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
Think of all the fun I've missed
Think of all the fellas that I haven't kissed
Next year, I could be just as good
If you check off my Christmas list
Santa baby, I want a yacht, and really, that's not a lot
Been an angel all year
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa honey, one little thing I really need
The deed to a platinum mine
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa cutie, and fill my stocking with a duplex and checks
Sign your "X" on the line
Santa cutie, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Come and trim my Christmas tree
With some decorations bought at Tiffany's
I really do believe in you
Let's see if you believe in me
Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing
A ring, I don't mean on the phone
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry, tonight
George and Eartha - both produce hit Christmas songs and both died on christmas day. Madness
"One little thing I really need. The deed. To a platinum mine."

This is a wonderful animated version of Miss Kitt and one of her most famous songs. Kudos to all of the artists involved.
I am certain that I am not the only one who finds joy in listening to Christmas music throughout the year. It serves as both my lullaby and my source of cheer. May God bless us all.
Eartha Kitt's Santa Baby song is actually my favorite Christmas song. I hate it! when the radio station plays, Santa baby, sung by another artist! No one can beat this original!
The remakes are terrible. If it’s NOT Eartha Kitt’s version, it’s NOT Christmas.
Right ❤
My dad, mom loved her! All 6 of us kids did too! I hope there listening to her in Heaven! What a gift from GOD she was to us all!
I wish I could tell her how much I love her and that she’s my favorite person ever
I got that chance Monjaras!
I wish I could teach her a lesson to ask Santa for one single and simple Christmas gift every year!!!!
One of the best Christmas Songs of all time hands down! God Bless the beautiful and talented Eartha Kitt.
2024. Santa Baby, all i want for Christmas is peace....
HER VOICE STILL SERVES EVERY YEAR
Can't believe that animated version uploaded just now since I've been jamming to Eartha's Santa Baby :) Such a joy, pleasure.
2023 December 3rd still a CLASSIC 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

It's one of those songs where the perfect voice made it timeless. Always imitated never duplicated 💅🏾💜
THE DOPEST THING EVER. Wow, thank you to her team for bringing this jewel to her fans to enjoy! Love it!
Was very lucky to have seen her perform in "Follies" at the Shaftesbury Theatre in London (4 times) and then again in cabaret/concert at the Sydney Hilton Hotel ... what an amazing performer!
This song will forever have the magic of Eartha Kitt and it will never be duplicated! Just so magical and otherworldly!

Loved it, a very special and strong minded woman that didn't bend with the wind, I truly admire her for whom she was as a person.
She had baaaars lol some nice puns and wordplay for an oldie
The rhyme schemes aswell. She was dropping triplet rhyme schemes.....sounds so ahead of its time
No one can sing it better..love the animations.
I believe in you now show me that you believe in me. lol

The very best version of this song, by far... And this animation is everything too!

Thank you Jennie for introducing me to another beautiful song🥰❤
One of my favorite holiday songs and the best version of all! The others are mere imitations. No one can replace the great Miss Eartha Kitt.
Love all the nods to her roles throughout her career! Such a charming, talented, beautiful, intelligent woman! A true legend! 🙌🏻💞🙌🏻
She has the most remarkable voice, so clear and beautiful, no one can out sing Eartha Kitt, though many have tried.
She even did a few episodes of Batman as Catwoman! She was great! RIP !
Old is gold!! Love, love the classics… bonds the heart with the past.
My sweet Eartha. I've been in love with her since I watched Batman as a little kid.
The animation of this video is so well done!!
I especially love her career references and the dress change. This was done with such love
Merry Christmas 2024
💯
The best, for sure.
We lost her too soon! 😭😭😭
Very true Christie.. You cannot get tired of hearing her.. 🥰❤️🤗
Love Earth’s version of this song!!! She adds character to it.
No one but no one can replace Eartha Kitt in singing this song, even Time's Person of the year!
