Artist: Gayla Peevy
Album: I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas
A novelty song from 1953, "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" was written by John Rox and sung by Gayla Peevy, who was just ten years old at the time of the recording. The song peaked at number 24 on the Billboard charts in December of that year.
I was unfamiliar with this little gem until my friend Jeff introduced me. It's cute, obviously novelty, but fun. A good addition to your Holiday playlist.
Happy Holidays my friends at WeCastMusic.
We'll see ya next year.
Enjoy.
