Ah, yes. Kitt's rendition is undoubtedly the definitive version
against which all others are judged (and found wanting). There are a
few others in that category, songs I'd just as soon never hear
anybody else attempt. White Christmas by Bing Crosby, Rudolph the Red
Nosed Reindeer by Gene Autry, and The Christmas Song by Johnny Mathis
come to mind immediately. I'm sure there are others.

I like this version of White Christmas better than Bing's:

I can't do the Flash stuff here in the clutches of the company IT
dept., but I'll give it a listen when I get home. Love the Drifters,
so you have my hopes up. :-)

Thought I heard a Madonna rendition of "Santa Baby" the other day.
The song fits her, but I think Eartha Kitt nailed it.

By far my favorite Christmas song and Kitt does a nice job, however I enjoy
watching and listening to Jessica Simpson's version.

Happy Holidays!

I'd proffer:

Santa Clause is Coming to Town -- Springsteen
The Little Drummer Boy -- Bing and Bowie

Funny you should mention that. I only came across that recently, and I
found that despite how much I despise that song, the interplay of the
generations & styles between Bing & Bowie managed to make it at least
listenable. One of my favorites? No; but yeah, my favorite version of
my least favorite song.

Catch SNL last week? Pretty entertaining version of the above to start the
show.

And FWIW, that's "The Christmas Song." Chestnuts roasting, etc. is just
the first line, not the title.
