This original version of the song was recorded in 1953 and sung by ten year old Gayla Peevey. The now sixty-eight year old Ms. Peevey is alive and well.
OMG!!! I HATE it when peple comment "thumbs up if you'r listening to this in 2011" Seriously!!!! No!! I'm listening to it in 3070!!! LIKE REALY PEOPLE!!!!
@xxcutiexx936 sweety, you should learn not to put all your information on youtube or anywhere. anyone can see it..creepy old men...ANYONE! do you want to get rapped or harassed online? please be careful! im only saying this to tell you that I want you to be careful! :)
I really love this song, my ASL teacher plays music while we work sometimes, and this came on. I started singing it and everyone freaked out that a goth girl likes this song :)
@ZeekWolfe1 Only if you don't have a child's heart who doesn't enjoy fun music. I'd rather listen to these classics than Mariah Carey destroy the lyrical beauty of "O Holy Night".
My dad used to say he wanted a hippo for Christmas so every year we wud wrap up our toy n give it to him:) it's a tradition. We haven't the last 2 years cuz he passed away:( so this song makes me think of him:(( I miss you dad!!-3
@iluvphillies96 im so sorry, my dad is like that to, every time i asked him what he wanted he said, "my two front teeth" so i on year i got him fake teeth, he thought it was pretty funny.
@jamesbizs Nothing just about the age of the singer you said that I was lying because I said that she was 10 when she sang this but...? Aww wells never mind!
@Peasful8 oh my... I still love this verison dont get your panties in a twist... I happen to really like Unicorns... I have a hippo and it sings this song... sooo I still want a unicorn...
Is the a kid or a auto tuned 70 year old man?!
