"Hooray for Santa Claus" Turns 50

[chazraps]

Everyone's favorite song from a movie that features martians conquered by Santa just hit the half-century mark!

I did a piece on the song's history for OC Weekly this week and actually got MST3K's Joel Hodgson to give us a quote about his thoughts on the song - blogs.ocweekly.com/heardmentality/2014/12/hooray_for_santa_claus_turns_50.php

All things considered, it's a pretty great tune, right?

I like the song and love the movie as well-seriously.

There's a cover of the song in a T-Mobile commercial right now.

"Droppo, you're the laziest man on Mars! How did you not remember this anniversary?"

JOEL: Cause I'm the laziest man on Mars?


/Let's have a Patrick Swayze Christmas.

But what were Pia Zadora's thoughts about the anniversary? Inquiring minds want to know.

I just watched this movie yesterday with my brother-in-law, sister, & mom. MST3K version of course
