Aside from discussing the reasons AGAINST owning a hippo and parking it in the yard -which would make me odious and earn me a lot of insults- I WILL say that the song is a typical absurd novelty song.
I once asked for a Nintendo and the Sonic game, but I got other things instread. Some years later, I finally got to play the Sonic Game on the laptop - and could not get very far into level 2. Too difficult to hold onto game lives, etc. I'm glad I didn't waste my Dad's cash on that "game"
I'd rather have a bunch of rabid Hyena, they're about as safe as a hippo. Buggers are very vicious and kill anything that isn't a hippo or that is one that's in its yard. And for protection against them if you haven't got artillery support I'd go for anything belt fed with rounds equal to or larger than 7.62mm.
I've known this Christmas song for some years now, as my housemate who is a pianist/organist has the music and plays it here at home during the holidays. Well, this year he is getting a hippo along with his other gifts. What fun!
a hippotamous will fukin kill u kid, and don't u know there's no Santa! I told your mom once when we were arguing before about her sister and I'll tell u again, I don't want a fukin hippo in my HOUSE!!
Awesome song. I still remember hearing it for the first time exactly 5 years ago today. By the way can u tell me what those animes used were or were they just art work.

I played this for someone, and he said, "Is that 'I want a hippopotamus for Christmas; only a lobotomist will do'?" a bad joke, of course; I didn't mean any offense.
Little known musico-historical fact: this was the original version to Beethoven's "Moonlight" sonata. Beethoven, going deaf at the time, couldn't tell the difference between the first 30-second slow piano part from the remaining 3-minute hippopotamus part, until a young protege of Beethoven pointed out that the two parts don't really fit together. In a rage, Beethoven tore off the Hippopotamus part and scribbled "To the memory of a great ungulate" on the top of the score.
This came on the holly channel on XM yesterday and my mom told me she first heard this in the 1st grade. Coming from a 52 year old woman, that's special.
@MrSpidervaughn HELL NO YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT THAT INTRO SIGNIFIES THAT ARCHANGERAPHEAL717 IS A SPONTANEOUS AND UNIQUE INDIVIGUAL AND SHE/HE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DEAL WITH CRAP FROM YOU AND ALL THE OTHER HATERS TO STOOP SO LOW AS TO LEAVE STUPID USLESS COMMENT PS.USEING THAT WORD IS VERY AFFESIVE THATS ITS NOT EVEN FUNNY SO PPS IAM TRYING TO LOOK AT THINGS FROM YOUR POINT OF VIEW(NOT KNOWING GOOD ART OR SONGS) BUT I CANT GET MY HEAD THAT FAR UP MY ***
Jesus: Santa. Santa: Yes? Jesus: I'm sad. Santa: Why are you sad? It's Christmas right? It's your birthday! Jesus: Yeah. That's the point ... ... ... ... ... ... ... Santa: Why? Jesus: because whenever its Christmas the kids only wait for you and not me! They only celebrate Christmas because of you! Why Santa, why not Jesus? Dec 25 is for Jesus not for Santa.

@EmmetEarwax Too bad Sonic wasn't on Nintendo until the Gamecube era in the early 2000's.
And either way, you must suck if you can't get past the first few levels in Sonic.
