It’s probably been mentioned… but…
New to me. And quite catchy.
Puts me in the mood every time. This little girl has it all figured out.
That’s not what you want.
Where I work they play the worst Christmas music ever. It is all secular which by itself is fine, I’m an atheist, however who prefers Christmas carols. I think it’s nostalgia mixed with good music.
Too much of what plays at work would convince you that few secular songs escaped the forties. Too much do wahhh and wham bam.
I would love to hear Lucy and Linus, Snoopy’s Christmas, Run Run Rudolph, and yes Grandma Got Runover by a Reindeer.
Marshmallow world, The Man with the Bag, no just no. The list of nos from our company Christmas play list is almost endless. Sigh.
TSO would be awesome.
I’ll bet he didn’t even know how to suck eggs 
Most people I know think the voice is a fake done by an adult. 
They’re confusing her with 28 year-old George Rock who sang “All I Want for Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth”.
Same. Weirdly, I seem to prefer the religious ones to the secular ones. Probably brings me back to my days as a Christian.
The B-side of the 45 features Rock as Rudolph.
The hippo song was cute. Once. Ever. Once you’ve heard it, you never need to hear it again.
There’s been centuries of religious Christmas music. The ones that have lasted are the really good ones. Most secular Christmas music, meanwhile, comes from the 50s, and is only sticking around because the Boomers are. So, on average, the religious Christmas music you hear is going to be better than the secular Christmas music you hear, for reasons that have nothing to do with religion itself.
Mother says the hippo will eat me up. But then Teacher says a hippo is a vegetarian.
She has done her research and quotes a reliable source. This kid has it figured out.
Vegetarian my keester. Hippos are notorious for scavenging any carcasses that come their way, and on occasion will extend their natural belligerence and territoriality into active predation.
So will most “herbivores”. Nature rarely follows the nice, neat lines we try to fit it into.
I have a friend who insisted on hearing Pretty Little Dolly at our group Christmas parties.
Seriously twisted.
Heeeeere’s Mona!
IMO that applies to 100% of all xmas music ever.
If I heard it as a kid, then it, and all possible future remakes of it, are useless overage.
Hippos are responsible for about 500 deaths per year. Lions, by comparison, only kill 22.
Killing isn’t the same as preying, though. Most hippo kills are just because they’re in a bad mood (they’re always in a bad mood). They don’t usually eat the people they kill.
Hippos: Nature’s coal rollers.
OTOH, the rest of that article points out that hippos are #10 on the top 10 list. So really pretty trivial as killers go. Lions rank much lower, but even hippos at #10 of 10 are already killing a mere rounding error versus the kill counts of the serious top 3 killers. Who collectively get through 1.5M humans a year; not the triviality of hippo kills which is a piddling 500 humans a year.
IOW …
Hippos kill one of 3,000 humans killed by macro-scale wildlife. Who cares? They’re a rounding error.
