Christmas Countdown - Day 11 - "I Want You for Christmas" (1937)


Day 11 of our Christmas Countdown takes us into 1937, where we meet Betty Boop!

More to the point, it's Mae Questel, Betty's cartoon mouthpiece, who returns with her Decca recording of "I Want You for Christmas":


I just love those records by the Betty Boop Girl!

Another version of the song was recorded by Russ Morgan and his "Music in the Morgan Manner" on Brunswick Records:



I'm a sucker for little novelty touches like the band vocal into at the beginning!
