Holly Cole did a great version of the song. I would be glad if someone could integrate the link in a correct way into the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.182.237.175 ( talk) 21:57, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
Didn't Marilyn Monroe did a cover of this song too? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Senaiboy ( talk • contribs) 19:29, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
The version oft referenced as Marilyn Monroe is actually actress and recording artist, Cynthia Basinet. Recorded in '97 for Jack Nicholson as a personal gift. Also in the movie, "Party Monster". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dreamsville2 ( talk • contribs) 20:38, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
The only non notable person here is DELICIOUS CARUBNCLE — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.175.21.168 ( talk) 19:23, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
This was added (presumably by a new editor) to the article, but seems to sit better here, so rather than losing the contribution, here it is...

Jane Krakowski sang "Run Rudolph Run," not "Santa Baby." On the Ally Christmas album, it is by Flockhart. http://www.amazon.com/McBeal-Christmas-featuring-Vonda-Shepard/dp/B00138F3N2/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=dmusic&qid=1244486794&sr=8-2 12.162.122.6 ( talk) 18:47, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
My request to merge Santa Baby (Sugababes cover version) here was removed stating that no rationale was given. I thought it would be pretty obvious but here it is. It's a non-notable version of this song and all versions of the same song are always (well, 99.99% of the time) covered in the one article. AnemoneProjectors ( talk) 14:44, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
I cannot find any authoritative source to back up the assertion that Fred Ebb co-wrote "Santa Baby." While Ebb did write a number of songs with Philip Springer, he isn't listed on the copyright for this song ( http://cocatalog.loc.gov/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?v1=140&ti=101,140&SEQ=20101228220349&Search%5FArg=springer%20philip&Search%5FCode=NALL&CNT=50&PID=fplx4qUEZ3IoV2XbVTlpNIBfskwd&SID=1). Furthermore, when Springer has been interviewed about the writing of the song, he doesn't mention Ebb as having participated ( http://blog.musicnotes.com/2008/11/26/interview-with-santa-baby-songwriter-philip-springer/). The Songwriter's Hall of Fame bio cited in the article is unconvincing, since it also attributes the co-authorship of "How Little We Know" to Ebb; the lyric for that one was actually written by Carolyn Leigh. As a result of all this, I'm removing Ebb's name from the article as a co-writer. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.64.101.195 ( talk) 03:08, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
I have a clear memory of there being a seal on the TV at Christmas Time and it was singing this song in a deep gruff and yet loving voice. Can anyone confirm if this actually happened, and if so, why does it not mention it in the article. I do have a history of very alarming vivid dreams featuring sea mammals so that is always a risk. Cloddy Hans ( talk) 12:52, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
Is the cover by Catherine Wayne (Boxxy) notable enough to be mentioned in this article? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHweocGg5N8 Fladoodle ( talk) 23:32, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
Since multiple articles exist with a similar name i've tried to clean it up to:
The only missing article is this one, which should ideally me moved to Santa Baby (song) per naming conventions. Any objections? Thanks Jenova 20 09:18, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
Taylor Swift did a cover of this song for her 2007 EP Sounds of the Season: The Taylor Swift Holiday Collection.can we add it PLEASE.-- BellaFan262 ( talk) 21:06, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
This section looks like ever-growing listcruft. Proposal: Only mention covers that have charted or that have specifically received media coverage. -- NeilN talk to me 23:54, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

CynthiaB2014, probably a new account of Cynthia Basinet has been adding this to the article. Issues:

Why did the Ariana Grande section of the article got removed? After all, her cover version was released as a single, so the section should be listed there. Paul Badillo ( talk) 21:42, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
So far, I've heard the Eartha Kitt version. But, what about Madonna's version of the song?
From the video description:
Madonna's cutesy pie version was recorded in the late 80s for a celebrity charity Christmas album. It was going to be released with Supernatural but this was dropped.
The glaring difference in-between the two songs is that how Kitt wants "a '54 convertible" while Madonna wants "an auto-space convertible [1]", both of them light-blue. 205.214.249.75 ( talk) 20:37, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
I propose to the users who watch this page that a separate article/list be created – perhaps titled Santa Baby cover versions or List of cover versions of Santa Baby – which will serve to list notable covers of "Santa Baby" by artists like Ariana Grande, Cynthia Basinet, Gwen Stefani, Kylie Minogue, Madonna, and many more, who released their versions as singles or promotional singles. With the creation of this, we can fill the voids that are currently existing in several of these singers' discographies. Thoughts? Carbrera ( talk) 04:53, 10 October 2018 (UTC).
Duh. Like too often, all the article tells me is by whom the song was written, and a rather intense web-search also produced no clear answer.
So, who wrote the lyrics? Only Joan Javits? Only Philip Springer? Only Tony Springer? Two of them, and if so, which? Or all three together?
Same for the tune: who composed it? Only Joan Javits? Only Philip Springer? Only Tony Springer? Two of them, and if so, which? Or all three together?
Or is there no evidence, and all we can say is the three of them somehow worked together?
Thanks in advance. -- 80.109.76.103 ( talk) 15:41, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
The article references controversy but does not really give any details. Which lyrics were controversial? Why? Who objected? 90.249.136.231 ( talk) 09:19, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
Why were we listing the overall credits for Kylie's 2010 EP A Kylie Christmas? There's no way most of these apply to "Santa Baby". For example, a choir was credited—there's absolutely no choir on her cover of the song. I'm removing this until we can find credits for Kylie's "Santa Baby" specifically—there's no "2010 version" anyway, it's the same recording from 2000. (Unfortunately the Tidal source is dead, and it doesn't look like A Kylie Christmas is on the site any longer, so there's no way to see the credits that apply specifically to "Santa Baby" there.) Ss 112 10:36, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
I believe the Version performed by Miley Cyrus in 2018 in the Tonight Show (Jimmy Fallon) is worth mentioning. Despite and because of the updated text. There doesn't seem to be a conventional audio release, though (only TV, youtube, tiktok, etc.. ) 88.71.227.80 ( talk) 20:44, 26 December 2022 (UTC)
