jonski43 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Just realised no one's posted anything about Santa Baby this year so what the hell. I wonder how this would have performed if it had been released with Supernatural on the B-side. It would have been very welcome in the barren period of 1988. Love it or loathe it, here we go folks.

HolidayGuy Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I have a post in the Charts section. Would have been cool if, sometime through the years, M would have shot a video for it. Not like it would require a huge budget or anything. Madge's version is cute and fun- nothing more, nothing less. other covers adhere to the Earth version, but I like that Madge made it more playful and breezy.

Guest vermicious knid Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 AWFUL That cutesy little girl voice is the opposite of sexy. Well, its sexy if you're a pedophile weirdo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolidayGuy Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Who said it was sexy? It's Betty Boopish- and she wasn't exactly "sexy," was she? (Well, maybe to some...) I could see how some may find it annoying, though. Madge's version was No. 52 on Billboard's Hot 100 Holiday Songs (for the three-month period of 10/5/09-1/3/10) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HolidayGuy Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Must be some people who are not familiar with Betty Boop. Madge used a similar approach in "Cry Baby" (which I found annoying for a long while, but have warmed to some). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HolidayGuy Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Ms. Kitt's, naturally, is the sexiest, hands down. Most of the covers that follow her lead don't come close. And, indeed, she also resurrected Ms. Boop somewhat for MG at BAT. She also used a "cutesy" voice for MG on the WTG Tour, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loomer Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 OR THE WAY SHE SANG MATERIAL GIRL LIVE. POOR Material Girl. You have to wonder why she bothers doing it if she isn't gonna take it remotely seriously and just destroys the song cause she hates it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Not only cause this and "Supernatural" are better left as rarities, but part of the reason LAP was so genius was the big break she had (in reality it was September 1987-March 1989). She needed that year off to make the impact of her comeback even greater - and this was pre-internet with little news so it felt even longer.

loomer Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 And we have the ROCK version on RIT I actually rather liked that. Not cause it was great or anything cause it wasn't, just that it was such a huge and pleasant surprise that she did this at all after years of badmouthing it. The real bit of genius on that tour though was "Burning Up" that is one of the only songs that lends itself, nay demands, a rock version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
