@red_w1n brought up an interesting point. Some of the lyrics in Laufey's recent release, "Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town" aren't the usual ones you hear nowadays. Specifically...
With little tin horns, little toy drums Rooty toot toots and rummy tum tums Santa Claus is coming to town And curly head dolls that toddle and coo Elephants, boats, and kiddie cars too Santa Claus is comin’ to town
Then kids in Girls and Boy land will have a jubilee They’re gonna build a Toyland town all around the Christmas tree
Ig those were the lyrics of the original song written by John Frederick Coots and Haven Gillespie in 1934. (I looked it up). The first recorded version of "Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town" was by banjoist Harry Reser and His Orchestra on October 24, 1934. The song was later popularized when it was performed by Eddie Cantor on his radio show in November 1934. Over the decades, it's been sang by a ton of singers and they opted to shorten the lyrics for some reason. Our beloved Laufey gave us the original uncut version. No surprise there. Queen 👑 don't miss in her originals and covers so she'd never give us a half-hearted attempt at anything :)
