I'm always so disappointed when this comes on the radio and it's the Madonna version or worse, the modern version sung by a random girl who sounds like everyone else.
She died on Christmas Day, 2008. After not knowing her actually birthday for most of her life, a few years before she died a group of University students saught it out, January 17, 1927. A true original!
Mom's birthday is January17, 1924. She'll be happy to hear this. Years ago I purchased a small jukebox with this tune at a local hallmark stationery store and my young nieces loved playing it every Christmas.
True story: Eartha made a personal appearance at the Gay Men's Health Center NYC, shortly after Madonna had released her version of the song. When asked what she thought of it, she purred, "She did the best that she could." The room errupted in laughter and thunderous applause...I was there
There's no contest. Eartha's version is sly, sultry, seductive, subtle ... psychological! Madonna's version is just - "Santa baby, I'm a great big whore for you!"
Co-signing this! The best Catwoman period! I grew up with the Tim Burton Batman movies, so Michelle Pfeiffer was my first Catwoman, and who I dressed up as for Halloween when I was 8, but Eartha Kitt will always be Catwoman! 🐈⬛ 💕 🐈⬛
@@frankrodriguez6998 what are you talking about lol you did this for what😭 I don’t need to do anything I’ve been a fan of her movies shows and music for years she is inspirational for black people in general I listen to jazz since i was a toddler I said what I said I’m not going to change a thing love but try again if you want 😂💀
Orson Welles once called her the world's most exciting women in the world who knows they could have been bed partners between the sheets with a comment like that!
I am certain that I am not the only one who finds joy in listening to Christmas music throughout the year. It serves as both my lullaby and my source of cheer. May God bless us all.
Was very lucky to have seen her perform in "Follies" at the Shaftesbury Theatre in London (4 times) and then again in cabaret/concert at the Sydney Hilton Hotel ... what an amazing performer!
WOW ALL THESE MANY YEARS GOD JESUS BLESS ME TOO LIVE ON THIS EARTH I HEAR THAT SONG COME ON RADIO NEVER NEW THAT WAS EARTHA KITT NOT ONLY WAS SHE A GOOD ACTRESS PLAYING CAT WOMAN IN BATMAN SHE HAD THE MOST BEAUTIFUL VOICE IN THE WORLD KNOW ONE CAN NEVER SING THIS SONG LIKE SHE DO SO EXCELLENT & BEAUTIFUL
It’s so crazy she was so well known for a Christmas song and she died on Christmas Day in 2008. Ngl I was obsessed with her music and roles in fifth grade and I still love her music to this day. RIP Eartha Kitt.
"First, I'll have the most soothing, Christmas-y voice ever , then, I'll record what will, no doubt, be the best Christmas classic of all time, and so, I'll be immortalized as one of the best performers to ever walk the EARTH. Hahahaha! Oh, it's brilliant. Brilliant! BRILLIANT!"
Eartha Kitt's Santa Baby song is actually my favorite Christmas song. I hate it! when the radio station plays, Santa baby, sung by another artist! No one can beat this original!
i wish i had been fortunate enough to have seen eartha kitt perform this, but who knew there would one day be music videos back in 1953 or 54 when she did this song. absent the possibility of seeing a scratchy looking b/w video of her recording this song, this animated version is an acceptable substitute. the animated character does capture the essence of ms kitt. and, like others have commented, if eartha ain't singing it, i don't need to hear it. my thanks to whoever took the time to put this together, it is definitely well done.
Merry Christmas in Advance to anyone reading this. May you have a happy, healthy and prosperous new year. we lived through this year. at the very least we'll have great stories 10 years from now.
I love that I wait all year long to play this classic, and start off my wonderful December listening to 🎅 Baby, and love them colors here 🤩💞 Thank you Miss Kitt ♥️
It's only the Second day of Christmas, let's keep it going
CHRISTMAS 2024
It’s been a year
Nobody can sing this song as good as Eartha Kitt. Legendary.
I'm always so disappointed when this comes on the radio and it's the Madonna version or worse, the modern version sung by a random girl who sounds like everyone else.
I love her singing too
Well said
absolutely agree
Please try listening to Eartha's song @ the '2' speed--It's the BEST!
She died on Christmas Day, 2008. After not knowing her actually birthday for most of her life, a few years before she died a group of University students saught it out, January 17, 1927. A true original!
Really, that's crazy.
Wow
That's my birthday lmao
Mom's birthday is January17, 1924. She'll be happy to hear this. Years ago I purchased a small jukebox with this tune at a local hallmark stationery store and my young nieces loved playing it every Christmas.
That's today! Happy birthday Eartha!
She was an original. Ms. KITT was before her time in many respects.
Eartha’s looks and sultry vocals can literally melt ice.
The original gold digger mistress 😂
_Her singing voice, Amy Winehouse’s and Mutya Buena’s deep sultry voice though...._

Hey guys did a remake see if you like it
that voice could melt diamonds
If Eartha Kitt ain't singing this I don't wanna hear it
Period

😂😂😂😂 Oh my, poor Madonna
There’s a video somewhere on UA-cam where Eartha says: “I used to have a lot of fun with this song…then Madonna sang it.”
Well dang😂
she was iconic
There's no contest. Eartha's version is sly, sultry, seductive, subtle ... psychological! Madonna's version is just - "Santa baby, I'm a great big whore for you!"
NOBODY can sing this like Eartha Kitt! It's a masterpiece!
laufey did it better
@@hasdyiI love laufeys version too!
Yes and this video really captures her essence ❤
@@hasdyi luv her down, but no she did not❤️💋
@@viciouscouturexzz yes she did lol
Love this. Her singing is effortless and smooth.
Don’t let it distract you, if you haven’t paid attention, She asked a lot of expensive things, trust me she’s a gold digger.
@@evanholloway1692 its Santa. Of course she asks for expensive stuff.
Is she an alto?
@@evanholloway1692that’s the whole point of the songb
@@evanholloway1692 She's a gorgeous woman that values herself because everyone knows she's worth everything she desires. Melania Trump's of the world.
This is very beautifully put together. There will never be a version of this song better than Eartha Kitt’s
Shes the og
I agree
Nope the nightcore version is better lol and this is so old 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@pusheen7742 old is gold. And what are you doing listening to a Christmas song in July?🤨
@@pusheen7742 Nightcore is just pitch heightened and sped up edits of the original songs.
A real classic I love it I miss Eartha Kitt seeing her animated again in different stages is dope my favorite cat woman of all time

Mine too. 😻
So many references to this amazing woman's career
Especially Catwoman.

HER VOICE STILL SERVES EVERY YEAR
One of the best Christmas Songs of all time hands down! God Bless the beautiful and talented Eartha Kitt.
It’s been 12 years since she passed away and for years I’ve adored her attitude her craft and how professional she is at her job.
Right ❤❤❤
😢❤
14 years
One of my favorite Christmas songs ever!
2023 December 3rd still a CLASSIC 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
George and Eartha - both produce hit Christmas songs and both died on christmas day. Madness
My dad, mom loved her! All 6 of us kids did too! I hope there listening to her in Heaven! What a gift from GOD she was to us all!
I am certain that I am not the only one who finds joy in listening to Christmas music throughout the year. It serves as both my lullaby and my source of cheer. May God bless us all.
"One little thing I really need. The deed. To a platinum mine."
She owns the song: every key change and the melody
This is a wonderful animated version of Miss Kitt and one of her most famous songs. Kudos to all of the artists involved.
Was very lucky to have seen her perform in "Follies" at the Shaftesbury Theatre in London (4 times) and then again in cabaret/concert at the Sydney Hilton Hotel ... what an amazing performer!
Such a sultry version, sung by the unique and inimitable Eartha Kitt! Love it.
Old is gold!! Love, love the classics… bonds the heart with the past.
Loved it, a very special and strong minded woman that didn't bend with the wind, I truly admire her for whom she was as a person.
It's one of those songs where the perfect voice made it timeless. Always imitated never duplicated 💅🏾💜
Glory to God for blessing His children with gifts to entertain the world, don't forget your creator guys!
Her voice is silk ❤❤❤ ♥️
Cooking dinner blasting all my favs .Merry Christmas to everyone listening 🎉🌲 🎁
Merry Christmas Tiffany! 🎅🏾🎄🎁
Merry Christmas!
I came here after seeing the Kim Kardashian version
An beautifully classic song perfect for the holidays!
Nobody will even sing Santa Baby as good as she did, and people will be listening to Earth Kitt's Santa Baby and hundred years from now
LAUFEY??

No one can sing it better..love the animations.
I believe in you now show me that you believe in me. lol
Hello
I wish I could tell her how much I love her and that she’s my favorite person ever
I got that chance Monjaras!
I wish I could teach her a lesson to ask Santa for one single and simple Christmas gift every year!!!!
It’s so crazy she was so well known for a Christmas song and she died on Christmas Day in 2008. Ngl I was obsessed with her music and roles in fifth grade and I still love her music to this day. RIP Eartha Kitt.

The very best version of this song, by far... And this animation is everything too!
One of my favorite holiday songs and the best version of all! The others are mere imitations. No one can replace the great Miss Eartha Kitt.
Can't believe that animated version uploaded just now since I've been jamming to Eartha's Santa Baby :) Such a joy, pleasure.
Wonderful Christmas classic.
Her singing is peerrrfect. Who would not write her checks.
THE DOPEST THING EVER. Wow, thank you to her team for bringing this jewel to her fans to enjoy! Love it!
No need to be a belter to be an awesome and amazing singer. Hats off to this lady.
She had baaaars lol some nice puns and wordplay for an oldie
The rhyme schemes aswell. She was dropping triplet rhyme schemes.....sounds so ahead of its time
Merry Christmas 2024
💯
The best, for sure.
Very true Christie.. You cannot get tired of hearing her.. 🥰❤️🤗
Love all the nods to her roles throughout her career! Such a charming, talented, beautiful, intelligent woman! A true legend! 🙌🏻💞🙌🏻
Eartha Kitt's Santa Baby song is actually my favorite Christmas song. I hate it! when the radio station plays, Santa baby, sung by another artist! No one can beat this original!
The remakes are terrible. If it’s NOT Eartha Kitt’s version, it’s NOT Christmas.
Right ❤
Thank you for this wonderful timeless classic
It's from the 50's still a classic!
She passed away exactly 12 years ago on Christmas Day 😥 Rest in peace Eartha Kitt!!!
Right ❤❤
No it’s 15 years ago

Wishing everyone a wonderful Merry Christmas!!!🎅🎄
This song will forever have the magic of Eartha Kitt and it will never be duplicated! Just so magical and otherworldly!
My mom loved it when we were kids. ❤ So much memories.
She sang it the best !!!
2024. Santa Baby, all i want for Christmas is peace....
Is that all there is Peggy Lee
Love Earth’s version of this song!!! She adds character to it.
Her's will always be the best version.
One of the best music videos I’ve seen 😍 nobody can come close to how amazing she did with this song
We miss her🥲She would love this video stay strong like Eartha Kitt
What a wonderful tribute to this incomparable icon and force of nature. You are missed and will never be forgotten!
The animation of this video is so well done!!
I especially love her career references and the dress change. This was done with such love
What a lady she was! ❤❤❤
A spoiled greedy lady!
I’m really liking these animated music vids for the old school crooners, first frank, dean, now kitt love it
J'ai découvert ce petit vidéo glam à souhait il y a 4 noël de cela. Je l'adore toujours. Très mignon avec le tit minou.

Beautiful
I shed tears when Brian hit that note- I’m so happy for him ❤️ such a beautiful performance
I'm not a glamorous Lady, but I love the way she thinks
Literally one of my favorites ❤
