[bjr43]

There's another version of the song, but I don't recognize the singer.

[jonax64]

@bjr43 the one i'm thinking of is voiced by one of spike jones' guys who also did "my two front Teeth"

[kindmomof2]

@bjr43 Spike Jones originally did the song and I love his version...this one's alright just because the song's funny :)

Somebody poted a message in one of my yahoo groups to check out Gayla Peevery and I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas.I checked it out,and then all her other songs.I am a fan for life now.I think this one is my favorite.I wish her stuff would come out on CD.I would love to have some of her records,but they are going for a chunck of change on youtube.Thanks for posting all these songs.Bringing new fans.Wish we could get her music.

[mezskr4]

@hayleyscocoabear1 I'm glad that you droped by and enjoyed her songs.I still have a few that I have not put up yet.Eventhough I have most of her records,I would still love to have a cd.Since they put out several of Jimmy Boyd,who knows they just might.Yes her records are getting to expensive.I thought of uploading a new video of this one as I have a much better recording now.Glad that you are a fan of Gayla's,songs,& don't forget to check out her songs as Jamie Horton.Come by anytime... :)

I wish I had the money to get my hands on one of her records..... They go for quite a bit on ebay, that is if you can find one!!! She is great!! That phone commercial on TV really got ppl listening to her again.

[mezskr4]

Yes her records are selling for too much sometimes.Which commercial are you refering to.I don't remember hearing it.You wouldn't by chance happen to have it?Thanks for stopping by.

[ashley7327]

It was the new Telus commercial with a hippo in it. It's on youtube, I just checked!

[mezskr4]

I just did,and it's so cool.Thanks for letting me know,I enjoyed it.Roy

[Slingblade11]

thank you so much for this blast from the past. we have it on a 78rpm and would sing it all the time

[mezskr4]

My pleasure.Isn't this a wonderful song.This is from my 78 record.

[Sue145]

I had this record too... that was the year I got my first record player for Christmas. I love this and "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas"

[terramc]

My sister and I used to sing this as children. We have been looking for this song for the past 20 years. I teach kindergarten and I want my kids to sing it for the Christmas Show. Thank you!!!

[mezskr4]

I used to volunteer in my childs school, and I was always amazed at the little children and what they came up with.I hope you enjoyed the song.

[everokie]

Gayla was from SW Oklahoma City where I am from. She put out several records as Gayla and later had a couple hits as Jamie Horton -"My Little Marine" and "Robot Man" which were popular enough to get her on American Bandstand. She became a teacher for awhile. Her daughter had posted an update on her on the internet one time. My favorite of her songs as Gayla Peevey was "I'm Too Young to Have a Broken Heart" which she recorded about age 13.

[mezskr4]

Thank you for that information.I didn't know that she was on American Bandstand.I posted My Little Marine and Robot Man.I have that song you like, and if I remember right it came out on a CD, but I'm not sure.I didn't know that she recorded at 13.I still have a few more of hers songs to post later.I hope you enjoyed this song.

[everokie]

Hi! Just wanted to thank you for all the Gayla Peevey and Jamie Horton songs you have put on here. I have really been enjoying them. I remember she did appeared once on the Ed Sullivan show after "hippo" was a big hit.

[antmusic]

WOW, thanks for posting this, I can't find any of her stuff on MP3 or CD (except for Hippo). I loved her "Are My Ears on Straight" song.

[mezskr4]

Your welcome.Your right about her songs not being on CD,and I think that there are too others besides "Hipp", but I don't have thoes CD's.Since they put out a Jimmy Boyd CD, who knows about her songs.There's always hope.Columbia could do it if they wanted to.So I post what I have for otheres to enjoy.Later

[luckyjopot]

little voice ... i like the mellow sound..

[mezskr4]

Glad that you both liked it.This makes me think of Dennis and Mr. Wilson.I will upload the other side later.Yes I also like Patience and Prudence.They had such a smooth sound on "Witchcraft"I have a video of them performing.

[thunderbird1958]

Great addition. I have never heard anything besides Hippo for Christmas by her. Wonder whatever became of her.

[wuzzlesAgogo]

I adore this! I'm going to have to go through a Gayla Peevey Craze for a momement. I have known about "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas", but never thought anymore about this vocalist. She would be great in a collection along side Patience and Prudence.
