Nuttin' for Christmas

Nuttin' for Christmas

"Nuttin’ For Christmas" is a novelty Christmas song written by Sid Tepper and Roy C. Bennett. It became a hit during the 1955 Christmas season when the song showed up on Billboard’s pop charts by a total of five different artists. The highest peaking of the five recordings was released by Art Mooney & His Orchestra, with seven-year-old Barry Gordon as lead vocalist. Another notable version was by Stan Freberg as the mean kid and Daws Butler as the burglar at the end of his version. Barry Gordon’s version peaked at position #6 and became a million seller. The song was revived on the Big Top label by Kenny and Corky and hit the Cashbox Top 100 in 1959.[1]

This song has also been covered by Relient K, The Vindictives, Smash Mouth and Sugarland more recently.
