Song of the Day-Santa Claus is Coming to Town

John Frederick Coots and Haven Gillespie wrote this evergreen back in the early 30s and it has been recorded countless times. In 1970 it became a memorable Rankin-Bass special with Fred Astaire providing the voice of Santa Claus. The version posted here is by a Danish cover band called the Rubber band.  A few years back they recorded a disc of Christmas classics under the name The Beatmas. Basically, Christmas songs done Beatles style. Every Christmas song sounds like a specific Beatles song. It is one of the more entertaining Christmas discs I own. The disc is hard to find now though if you go to google you might be able to track one down. You could also try:
ISBA Music Entertainment
2860 Boule de la Concorde Est
Suite 201
Laval
Quebec, Canada
H7E 2B4
Without further ado, Ed Sullivan Style Hear Are.....The Beatmas!
