Talk:Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town

message: Can we please have a separate article for Mariah's version? It was released as a single and is an important part of the singles chronology template in which there are links to the previous and the following singles. Alensha 17:12, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think that Carey's version is notable enough for its own article. It was not given any promotion (as far as I know), and did not chart anywhere. Did it even receive a full single release? If we created an article for her version, then to avoid systematic bias we would have to write articles on every other version released as a single, but it's much more helpful for casual readers to have all of the useful information in one place. Anyway, I've added a "See also" link to Mariah Carey singles discography so that users going through the chronology don't come to a dead end. Extraordinary Machine 17:24, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: okay... but I'm a little sad about it :( Alensha 18:36, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've removed the infobox for Carey's version again, as a) hers is nowhere near the most notable recording and b) the discography link stops readers from reaching a complete dead end. Extraordinary Machine 19:18, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

message: There is no actual evidence that Goodman ever recorded this song.  The reason I wrote this in the article is that Wikipedia's misinformation on this fact has been WIDELY cited all over the web, so it's important that the correction stand.  There is no version of Goodman from 1935 listed in his discography, his official website, or anywhere else (except the sources that had obviously copied this bad entry here).

message: I missed the lyrics when searching for this song - can they be published on Wiki (copyrights)? I added an external link, please replace if anyone can find a better one. --Janke | Talk 10:12, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Can anyone tell me who sang this song? Some of the lyrics are 'Santa is depressed and his sleigh has been repposesed'. I think it might have been on a radio station but I can't be sure!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.1.226.172 (talk) 16:23, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

message: Anyone else notice the similarity between the bridge in this song and the bridge used in the song The Last Time I Saw Paris, which was written 6 years later by Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.199.255.59 (talk) 04:25, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Title of this song according to copyright 

message: The list is a bit of a mess because of all the note accompanying the names, eg:
"Connie Talbot (2008 and 2009)"
"Fred Astaire (Sung in 1970 Christmas special, Santa Claus is Comin' to Town)"
"Tony Bennett from A Swingin' Christmas (2008)"
"Donna Loren (performed in 1964 on television series Shindig)"
If we include WHERE the song was sung for some, then why not all? 
"Mariah Carey (This version starts after Brahms's Lullaby)" ----> so?
"The Kidsongs Kids (on their We Wish You a Merry Christmas video and DVD) " ----> Available at all good stores this Christmas
and worst of all:
"Charlie Simpson from Busted in this version he really made it his own" ----> I will remove this one. It has  no validity — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paulmarkj (talk • contribs) 19:18, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

Kris Kringle is coming,
Kris Kringle is coming to town!
He wears a big pack 
On the top of his back,
And looks like a funny old clown.
