Eartha Kitt - "Santa Baby"

[blupheonix44]

THE best version of this song EVER!!!

[dal4018]

@blupheonix44 There are 3 morons that dislike this classic

[Dancingoddess88]

Despite this one being the 1st version of the song, I like Jane Krakowski's better, but the quality of sound wasn't the same back then. Still, Jane has the only remake that is really jazzy and sexy and well sung.

[baahhhFATALITY11]

Eartha Kitt's version is lovely. Taylor Swift's version is just...............not that amazing.

[ragethesystem91]

P2 brought me here. Its horror flick btw.

[msminajcookies]

@ragethesystem91 I know I just saw it yesterday! It was an awsome movie!! 

[dal4018]

With all due respect to JANET JACKSON who will play in a movie about this entertainment icon which I hope will be in movie theatres.The actress I feel should have been asked to play this role is VICTORIA ROWELL she has more in common with Eartha Kitt.Both were created through interracial relationships.

[lindydance1]

She sounds like she's PURRING!

[starlight76able]

There is only ONE version of this song and this it the original by the Great Earth Kitt.

[dal4018]

@starlight76able AMEN TO THAT I ONCE HAD A ARGUMENT WITH ONE OF MY OLDER SISTERS.SHE SAID THIS SONG WAS SUNG BY LENA HORNE I TOLD HER SHE WAS WRONG THIS SONG WAS SUNG BY THE IMMORTAL EARTHA KITT

[MrDabblehand]

It's all about the original

[FiLaM1989]

Without Eartha's version, the world of Christmas music is tarnished, and not only for Christmas, the music as a whole. God rest her soul and Merry Christmas. We'll never forget Eartha as well as her sexy Christmas song. RIP Eartha Mae Kitt 1927-2008

[dal4018]

@FiLaM1989 Can't believe she's been gone for three yrs

[SuperAlejandra1208]

Hella kinky ;) lol

[alliesinsin]

best version of this song ever... everyone TRIES to copy... but without her cadence and voice, it loses its sexiness factor COMPLETELY...

[74Auburn]

One of my favorites and it can only be sung by Ertha Kitt!

[GaladedridDamodred]

I thought she wanted a cerise Cadillac, now she wants a light blue '54 convertible... make up your mind, miss!

[intelegentable]

No matter who remakes this song,Nobody can match Eartha, for sheer SEXY, NAUGHTY, FUN on this song. She gives it just what it needs not to sound predatory and cold just ambitious, enterprising but still charismatic.The rest sound like naive little girls. Eartha sounds womanly and warm and willing to earn her gifts.

[360thebigboss]

kool chick , kool song ... kiss from France.

[pomoeeyore]

This is very good - but the version she did on Revisited (1960) is, I reckon, even better. She takes it a little faster, but the vocal is that little bit less innocent and breathy.

[elizalove47]

Eartha Kitt's version, is the best version in the whole World!!

her voice is more sensual! beautiful...!

Greetings from San José Costa Rica!! : o ) .*.°.*.°.*.°!



[ednalo123]

luv this song

[farscapebabe]

This is my ALL TIME FAVORITE Christmas song.

[pierantonio65]

Muy Sensual !!!!!!!

[clyhiz]

Eartha Kitt's version - 95,000 views

Shakira's version - 291,000 views

Pussycat Dolls version - 1,062,000 views

Taylor Swift's version - 2,643,000 views

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why I have no respect for humanity.

[gabiftbl]

@clyhiz i don't want to live on this planet anymore

[DeeLois623]

@clyhiz I heard that!!! Just absolute FOOLISHNESS!

[TheKothac]

@clyhiz This is why we can't have nice things. I'm scared to listen to the others... I don't want to ruin my knowledge of this one with the garbage covers

[Cramererica]

@clyhiz LOL Seriously! The further down the list I got, the angrier I became. This woman's voice is pure gold! And her version is a CLASSIC!

[grommint]

@clyhiz You said it brudder.

[FiLaM1989]

@clyhiz Amen. I just don't get those people. Once the original is done, it's done. Nobody ever compares or mess to the original. This Christmas song is always our kinky Christmas song, that is all, period.

[dal4018]

@clyhiz I totally agree and its been three yrs since this great woman 12-25-08 and there are 3 IDIOTS that like those remakes above the original.

[farscapebabe]

Beautiful sexy voice. I wish I could sing 1/100 as well as Eartha. :-)

[farscapebabe]

This is my all time favorite Christmas song This woman had the sexiest voice.

[lovergirl20029]

WOW this is an old song

[KTAZYAKALMM]

pure sex for santa

[3FromTheOutside]

MAGIC!!!

[Gboox8488]

@pwnpig13 yeah she did, marilyn monroe copied her i think

[farscapebabe]

@Gboox8488 everyone has copied this song. There is only one Eartha Kitt and no one else can sing it as well. Just a sexy beautiful voice.

[pwnpig13]

did she origanly sing this?

[Jmjager1]

Does she have a song with Dean Martin, cause that would be awesome.

[pianistica]

what a music :)

[soyneto]

Her version is oozing with charm and sexyness . Other have tried to immitate , they fail miserably ! Eartha's version is THE version. Need I say more ?

[scottg4520]

Women haven't changed a bit

[fullfist]

Is she seducing santa?

[KillerKlown580]

Timeless song- but all the remakes are absolute drek!!

[fromthesidelines]

Recorded on October 5, 1953, and originally released that November, this became Eartha's most successful recording, and a Christmas "evergreen".

ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES!

[Ryansgirl29]

This is my favorite Christmas song...and my favorite version of it!!!:D

[honoratosamurai]

swt~

[Peacefulminds911]

thanks

[DoLLFace0716]

who in their right mind could dislike this song?! O_O This is one of my favorites :D Eartha was amazing.

[JesusColoredCrayons]

Her voice sounds so kinky lol

;D

[hollyesque]

how can people (not only blacks but ALL people) be proud of the gangsters and rappers who are supposed to be representing their country and culture today when there are women like this to look up to? Eartha is legend.

[hollyesque]

i can't stop listening to this song...and its halloween!

[96madelaine]

@hollyesque Hahahahaha meee too! One eyar Later... :)

[MrDeCorey]

Fantastic song I love it.

[JustifiableExposure]

Thank You Eartha for true talent, poise and your endless grace! You were truly one of the Greats!

[ashellygirl]

She was a great singer and a great lady Rip

[LegrandePomplomous]

I discovered Eartha Kitt this holiday season when my mom played the song a couple weeks before christmas,

We had played the song in years past, but this was the first year I just suddenly stopped while I was listening and went: "This is an amazing song!!!" and I asked my mom who had done it.

But then, sure enough weeks after discovering her, I find out she's passed

on Christmas nonetheless........

[eyekiss]

RIP

[eleusiswalks]

gone home on christmas, rip, a great lady

[daymude63]

she was the best!

[mtnyc89]

Saw her at the Carlyle a couple years ago - what a presence - and a fabulous performer - a true entertainer.

[DuttyGyal718]

Damn on X-mas. We lose her. This song just got depressing. You will be missed Ms. Kitt.

You were no less than "purrrrrfect."

:D

[Tunnel51]

We lost Dean Martin on Christmas day in 1995. I still love his "Christmas with Dino" CD. I grew up listening to Santa Baby by Eartha Kitt and love it. It will continue to be played every Christmas in my house. RIP Eartha, and thank you.

[jacquis17]

She will be truly missed.

RIP Eartha...thank you for all the memories I have of you, from trying to copy your voice when I pretended I was Catwomen (as a child), I was never as perrrrrrrrrfect as you were.

And the wonderful music that will be in our hearts forever.

[DaveTinleyPark]

Sad we lost her, especially on Christmas day. She was a very talented woman.

[capitaldyme]

Rest In Peace Eartha. We are blessed to have had the pleasure of seeing you act and having your beautiful music.

[sfkar2004]

RIP Eartha....this song is really appropriate and its saddens us all that you passed away on your day...

[lasojuju]

Eartha is one of my favorite singers. Expressive, out-spoken, confident and simply fabulous. Just favorited "Santa Baby" 20 hours ago and listened to it happily. Shock is the only word I can use to describe the situation that she passed away on Christmas day.

~Love you Eartha ~

[evan22303]

I love this song around Christmas time.

So sad she died on Christmas Day.

[VinylNostalgia]

We love you Eartha! R.I.P.
