"(All I Want For Christmas is) My Two Front Teeth"
"(The Old Prospector) Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport"
Little Jimmy Dickens – "Take an Old Cold Tater and Wait"
"Sh-Boom"
Everly Brothers - "Wake Up, Little Susie"
"Maybellene" by Chuck Berry

Does anyone remember Eartha Kitt's version of "All I want for Christmas"? I remember two lines and the chorus:
"John offered me a ruby clip
Just for a little kiss,
A diamond ring and a Paris trip
Just for a little kiss....
CHORUS:
I'm gettin' nothin' for Christmas,
Poor little Eartha is sad,
I'm gettin' nothin' for Christmas
'Cause I didn't want to be bad."

Great thread.
