Artist: Eartha Kitt
Author: Joan Javits/Phil Springer/Tony Springer
Label: RCA Victor
Year: 1953
Covers:
Eartha Kitt [as This Year's Santa Baby; follow-up, complaining last year's gifts (the Cadillac, the yacht and the fur coat) are all in rags, so this year she's in for a private jet and cruise ship Queen Elisabeth, no less]
Vonda Shepard [on Ally McBeal X-mas record]
Miss Piggy [in Muppets film It's A Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie; voice: Eric Jacobson]
Pussycat Dolls [let's hear it for some other material girls]
Taylor Swift [the list goes on]
Cher [last but not least]
Earthy Eartha, freshly discovered in Broadway revue New Faces Of 1952, shows her ambition in this Christmas list: Sable coat, light blue convertible, yacht, duplex, checks, Tiffany jewelry and the deed... to a platinum mine. No wonder material girls like Madonna, Piggy, Kylie, Taylor and Cher went for no less.
