I can't get this song out of my brain!


I was listening to Christmas music on the radio last night and this song came on "I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas" and now I cannot get that crappy song out of my head!!!!!!

Have you heard it? By Gayla Peevey........holy crap......I cannot stand it....it freaks me out!! It has the creepiest sounding voice on the song......reminds me of a Munchkin singing it....it is just creepy.

AND once you have heard it.......it is near impossible to remove it from the soundtracks in your brain.....

I have been listening to "I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas" marathon since I heard it last night.

It is very much like Chinese water torture.....slow.......relentless........persistent......inescapable.

AND NOW ......to SHARE the insanity........go ahead......I triple dog dare you to give it a listen!

Song Lyrics: I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas(1953)
Words and music by John Rox
performed by Gayla Peevey

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
Don't want a doll, no dinky Tinkertoy
I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
I don't think Santa Claus will mind, do you?
He won't have to use our dirty chimney flue
Just bring him through the front door,
that's the easy thing to do

I can see me now on Christmas morning,
creeping down the stairs
Oh what joy and what surprise
when I open up my eyes
to see a hippo hero standing there

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles, no rhinoceroses
I only like hippopotamuses
And hippopotamuses like me too

Mom says the hippo would eat me up, but then
Teacher says a hippo is a vegetarian

There's lots of room for him in our two-car garage
I'd feed him there and wash him there and give him his massage

I can see me now on Christmas morning,
creeping down the stairs
Oh what joy and what surprise
when I open up my eyes
to see a hippo hero standing there

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles or rhinoceroseses
I only like hippopotamuseses
And hippopotamuses like me too!
