who sings this song? i love this song, it's sooo awesome! i got a brobee and foofa backpack and a foofa pillow for christmas and the foofa pillow from yo gabba gabba, justin bieber got it for me!
Everybody needs to lighten up. The song was done for the local zoo who was trying to get a hippo. Apparently this was this girls idea to try and help them acquire one. I just wish people would figure out the facts before turning everything around
I WANT A NEW PRESIDENT FOR CHRISTMAS ONLY PLEASE NOT A OBAMA NOR A CLINTON I WANT A NEW PRESIDENT FOR CHRISTMAS I DONT THINK ALOT OF PEOPLE ( 50 MILLION) WILL MIND!
@neilminestrong really, lets see you run for president..... o wait , your too busy trying to ruin great chrismas songs , i hope you have a merry christmas
@iSam4Ever23 It's OK. You can still want a hippo Christmas and have a favorite Christmas song. I'm not Jewish and have a favorite Jewish song. I just can't spell the words in the title of the song. lol. May the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob bless you richly!
Wow... I always assumed this was an adult trying, badly, to sound like a child. But I was looking it up and it says that Gayla Peevey was only 10 when she performed this??? It sounds like a 40-year-old trying to sound nasally and cute!
I heard this song at my grandparents house as a kid, and I've been trying to remember/find the one about Mrs. Elephant's stocking... do you know what/where it is???
are you depressed and just looking for music with hope in it? Check out my channel, the message I rap could point your life in the right direction. I speak truth in all my flows. click the arcadepeople link below and check it out. ya dig?
@mediamaterialguru No but the Oklahoma City Zoo did. So in 1953 they got this girl, Gayla Peevey, to sing this song. People made donations, and by Christmas time, we got our first hippo named Matilda.
I have this record, but it's not sung by Gayla. The singer does capture the bounciness tho ! I also shake my head at the very absurdity of this most inappropiate choice for a pet !
