I love Santa Baby

[-] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 10 points 18 hours ago

My mom loves this song and tries to sing it all sexy and its so cringe that I feel my soul leave my body

Mine too I feel your pain

Eartha Kitt original? Love it!

literally any cover is a big step down, though

[-] BearOfaTime@lemm.ee 10 points 1 day ago

Eartha Kitt... Damn, she knew how to sing that song!

[-] rocci@lemmy.ml 5 points 22 hours ago

You know who got it in the long run? Eartha Kitt when I nailed her in the airplane bathroom.

What? It came up organically...

[-] Nemo@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 day ago

She knew how to do everything. Best Catwoman, paws down.

100% Sorry Julie Newmar.

[-] cfi@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Same here, im fine with either of the Eartha Kitt versions, the Madonna version and the others are a lot more obnoxious

Sadly yes. There are people who love the saccharine sweetness of Christmas and what it represents. It is part of the reason why Christmas has taken over American Thanksgiving.

It was the happiest time of the year for a large number of adults when they were children and they keep wanting to go back to that happiness.

"Back in my day" it was a good time because the rest of the year things were tough for the average family, and things were expensive. Christmas somehow had parents scrape together enough for chocolate and toys. And lots of visitors.

Christmas music makes me a total grinch it’s terrible

[-] morbidcactus@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago

Years of holiday retail soured me to it honestly, brings out the best in people...

[-] rational_lib@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Not enough innuendo, a lot of missed opportunities. I mean you have cookies and milk, totally unused. Like "fill my stocking with a duplex" could easily have been "fill my stocking with gifts from your sack". Is she even trying?

I forgot about the song for a sec and was sitting here wondering what the hell Santa ever did to you

[-] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

Where did Santa touch you?

I feel this so very much lol. Working in retail (or food) and your boss plays the radio? All year, always the same ~50 songs a day... except Nov 1 - Jan 1, when it becomes the same 20 Jesus themed songs on repeat 6x times a day, and not even different versions.

The only one that gets a pass is the Charlie Brown one, it helps that it's instrumental.

Yes, but where? Und slooowly

[-] JohnnyCanuck@lemmy.ca 3 points 21 hours ago

Somewhere uncomfortable

puts on little round glasses, does a bump of cocaine, and pulls out therapy notes. Says, in an Austrian accent:

Vell you see. OP vas not ze one touched by der Santa Clauz, no. In die zong, eine voman zings zeductively - offering herzelf to Herr Santa. OP's irrational anger upon merely hearing Santa Baby surely relates to zer own zexual unfufilment. OP is angry because he vas not touched by Herr Santa... or by anyvon.

The Song? I love Santa Baby. Easy top 10 xmas track for me and likely top 5.

[-] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 3 points 22 hours ago

That song is super tacky, makes me cringe every time

[-] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 day ago

I'm with you, christmas songs are already on my shitlist from being force fed them on repeat while working (which I'm pretty sure is against the Geneva Convention), and that one has always been one of the worst.

I hate the cutesy little voice that sings it and it's a weird song, is she going to fuck the mythical creature, or is she going to fuck her parents (the real "Santa")? She clearly wants to fuck one of em I'm just not clear which.

And how damn old is she? You think Leo and his 25yos are bad, what about Nick over here being 1,730ish years older than her?!

[-] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

is she going to fuck the mythical creature, or is she going to fuck her parents (the real "Santa")?

Neither. She's singing to her boyfriend (not husband - "forgot to mention one little thing a ring") and listing the presents she'd like, plus IMO heavily implying sex as a reward.

If Kylie Minogue is singing it, that's a win!

It's the original sugar baby song

[-] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

It ain't my favorite either. But it's a popular song. I do doubt those exact sentenced were said, by virtue of being a little awkwardly phrased, but I have seen and heard people being happy to hear the song, or to use it as their first Christmas song as they verbiage celebrate the season.

[-] Fuzzy_Dunlop@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

It doesn't bother me any more than any other over-played song.

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml -4 points 1 day ago

Santa baby, stick a sick old man in a tree, for me. I've been an awful person. Santa baby, so hurry, drown, and kill a small child.
