Guest Rocco Papa Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Now that it's Christmas time I thought it would be appropriate to dedicate a thread to this song. I just love her version of this song. It's definitely my favorite rendition of it. The production is very Christmassy and evokes the right mood. Plus, her vocal interpretation of it is fantastic. The Betty Boop thing is genius. It gives it a classic and timeless feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Isn't there a story behind this? Like she dreaded the thought of recording it or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmark Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I love having it in my collection to play around the holidays of course, but I really love when it comes on the radio! Just heard it last week out and about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsaacHarris Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I simultaneously love & hate her singing voice in this. It's very "Darla" from Cat's Don't Dance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.Dolla Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Basically everyone I know hates it because of her vocals, but I'm inclined to love because it's Madonna + Christmas and there's not another song! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rocco Papa Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 What makes it perfect is that it's the one Christmas song that truly suits her. I mean, I can't picture Madonna doing O Holy Night or Santa Claus Is Coming To Town! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James0479 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 It truly is the perfect Christmas song for Madonna and I love that radio still plays it during the holidays. I've always wanted to know exactly when she recorded this, what prompted it....just the story behind it. I've never once heard her speak on the song. It just appeared on the radio one Christmas season and stayed there. lol. At least, that's my memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proceeds from the album benefited the Special Olympics. Many other artists appeared on the compilation like Stevie Nicks, U2, Bruce Springsteen, and Whitney Houston. There have been a lot of volumes in this series released since. The artwork was done by Keith Haring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madgefan Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Not my favourite Christmas rendition if you ask me. I'm glad she never did others after this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmark Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Not my favourite Christmas rendition if you ask me. I'm glad she never did others after this one It's not like she'd sing every Christmas song like Nikki Finn, haha. I'd love to hear more from her, TBH. Not sure if she needs to do a Christmas album though. That seems pretty last resort or nothing-else-to-do kind of move for a lot of artists. Maybe someday though, something.

Guest Rocco Papa Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 A new version of Santa Baby sung by Out of the Blue, an all-male a cappella group at Oxford University. Not as good as Madonna's version though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
