Late Careless Whisper and Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go singer, George Michael, before going solo created one of the most fabulous festive pop-songs with his then band Wham!. Last Christmas is a bitter-sweet Christmas song that speaks of lost loves and failed romances during the holiday season. The song reached gold and platinum around the world and as of December this year, has over 280 million views on Youtube.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Santa Baby &#8211; Eartha Kitt<\/h3>\n<div class=\"video-wrapper\"><iframe title=\"Eartha Kitt - Santa Baby (Official Audio)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Mk_GmhD053E?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Santa Baby is a flirty festive Christmas song, which lists the requests of extravagant gifts by a young woman to Santa.

It\u2019s one of our personal favourite Christmas pop-rock songs and is perfect for those who aren\u2019t the most festive of people during the holiday season. The song is a man\u2019s request to a psychotic Santa Claus, pleading to the big red and white man not to kill him this Christmas for his past misdeeds. The Killers\u2019 distinct and unique punk sound resonates even through the usual cheerful season, and we\u2019re definitely going to be putting this one on repeat.<\/p>\n<h3>9.
