Postmodern Jukebox and Lauren Tyler Scott perform a wonderful cover of “I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas” in this entertaining music video. “I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas” is a popular Christmas song from 1953 that was written by John Rox and sung by 10-year-old Gayla Peevey. If this song brings back fond memories of the holidays in the 1950s be sure to watch The Best Of Times.
