We found this song last year and it has come back to haunt me, I mean play over and over again. Really though it is a cute song just not everyday several times a day. Tell me what you think?

 

Have you heard this Christmas song yet? My daughter wants to make her own video.

  1. I had never heard this song until a couple years ago when the float was added to the Macy’s Day parade at Universal.

  2. I’ve never heard of this sounds before but when my kids go to bed I’m going to come back and check it out!

  3. Much as I love vintage music, I’m surprised I have never heard this song. I think it’s really cute. Thanks for sharing!

  4. Oh too funny I remember hearing that years ago and totally forgot about it until today. I thought it was so cute then – I can see why your daughter wants to make a video herself 🙂

  5. Oh what a cool song, I have to check this out for the boychild.

  6. Yes, I remember just loving that as a child. My kids used to get a huge kick out of it as well!

  7. We have a Christmas CD we used to play all the time and one of the songs on it was I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas… my son loved it!

  8. I have been singing it all month. They play it on the radio all the time.

  9. I first heard of this song a few years back. I thought it was cute (although not enough that I wanted to hear it repeatedly). I actually haven’t heard it yet this year. Had fun watching the video.

  10. We love that song! It’s absolutely ridiculous, but very fun. My kids know all of the words.

  11. I have heard this song a few times over the years. My kids found it funny but I am not a Christmas music fan myself.
