On Tuesday I posted a piece revealing my affections for "Hooray for Santa Claus" a song written by Milton DeLugg for the 1964 kiddie flick Santa Claus Conquers the Martians.
Don't ask.
And no, I'm not reproducing the lyrics here. They're easy to search online, of course. Also, I'd like to keep this piece as a simple "hum".
"Milton DeLugg and The Little Eskimos" performs the catchy little ditty.
By the way, Joseph E. Levine produced Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. He had a storied career as a film producer and executive producer. When I was a preteen and big teen, hearing "Joseph E. Levine Presents" and/or "A Joseph E. Levine Production" told me and other members of the moviegoing public: "This must be an important movie."
("A Bridge Too Far!")
Watch Santa Claus Conquers the Martians if you have time to spare.
Enjoy!
Postscript: I've long found it odd that a major motion picture's title would give away the plot's punchline. There's always a chance that The Martians would conquer, or at least succeed in repelling, Santa Claus... right?
Post Postscript: Okay, I have a few things to do today. Thoughts of Sugar Plum Fairies and a man "fat and round", jumpin' jiminy!, will have to be put on hold....
