I Want an Elephant for Christmas - Peter Pan Records 1970's

This is from an old 45 Peter Pan Record that I have had since the early 70's. I don't recall where my Mom bought these but I do remember listening to these over and over again as a young child growing up.

Peter Pan Records is a record label specializing in children's music. It was created in the late 1940s. The label was owned by the Synthetic Plastics Company of Newark, New Jersey until the 1970s.

The label became one of the largest and most successful children's specialty record labels in America, manufacturing unique, quality releases that often contrasted those of their competitors (Wonderland Records, Kid Stuff Records, Mr. Pickwick). Peter Pan enjoyed their greatest success during the 1970s.

can you tell me who sang this song? my mum loves elephants

@shellyjpink I don't have a name of a person who sang this song but it is The Caroleers from what I can find online. The records I have don't say anything on them about who sings what but that is what I found out when I searched online for names.

This reminds me of that "I want a hippopotamus for christmas" song thats on the radio all the time. I can't stand that song. hahahahaa

@Cheerio753 Yeah, I know what you mean but I like this one a little better than that one.. these singers are better and not as annoying in my opinion.

[Cheerio753]

@HolidayFavorites I agree. The voice on the hippo one is so annoying! THis is much better
