"Here Comes Santa Claus" is a popular Christmas song that has become a holiday classic. The song was written by Gene Autry and Oakley Haldeman. Gene Autry, also known as "The Singing Cowboy," was a famous American singer, actor, and songwriter who became one of the most prominent figures in country music and Western entertainment.
The story behind the creation of "Here Comes Santa Claus" is quite charming. Gene Autry was inspired to write the song after participating in the Hollywood Christmas Parade in 1946. During the parade, he noticed the joy and excitement of the children as Santa Claus made his way through the crowd. Autry wanted to capture that sense of magic and anticipation in a song.
Together with Oakley Haldeman, who wrote the music, Gene Autry penned the lyrics for "Here Comes Santa Claus." The song was first recorded by Autry and released as a single in 1947. It quickly became a hit, and its cheerful melody and upbeat lyrics contributed to its enduring popularity. The lyrics convey the anticipation and happiness associated with the arrival of Santa Claus on Christmas Eve, spreading joy and gifts to children around the world.
Over the years, "Here Comes Santa Claus" has been covered by numerous artists, and it has been featured in various holiday films and TV specials. The song has become a festive staple during the Christmas season and is often played on the radio, in shopping malls, and at holiday gatherings. Buddy Bear just happened to stop by our studio one day not long ago and wanted to tip his hat to Gene (so to speak) by putting his own spin on this evergreen Christmas classic. #Buddybear.tv @buddybear.tv #BuddyBearChristmas #BuddyBear
