Christmas Ukulele: Winger/Eartha Kitt - Santa Baby
December 5, 2007 · Print This Article
You might know this song in its versions by Eartha Kitt, Kylie, Madonna or Marilyn Monroe (who never sang it), but my favourite is by Winger (no, not the hair metal band Winger). Not only is it played on ukulele, it has uke-adapted lyrics - so this is the version I’ve written up.
The version thought to be Marilyn is by the actress and jazz crooner, Cynthia Basinet in ‘97. Check her site (www.cynthiabasinet.com) or iTunes.
Thanks for your praise Woodshed - I’m not an amazing uker by any means but it is fun all the same! Hope everyone enjoys playing this, I think it’s quite nice on a uke. xxx
My vote is with Winger. That accent does it for me.
