Mele Kalikimaka is the thing to say
On a bright Hawaiian Christmas day
That's the island greeting that we send to you
From the land where palm trees sway
Here we know that Christmas will be green and bright
The sun to shine by day and all the stars at night
Mele Kalikimaka is Hawaii's way

These cartoons kinda have immortalized these legendary singers in a way.
@vxy357

@aemiliacarolphonetube9749
And Mariah Carey is now immortalized to with Ari and Jhud
@TheAlexanderGallo
I don't think so. I think it's catering to the younger generations and furthering its life
@hugh-jasole
Um....the immortal music they made already did that, kiddo.
@MiriamMonroe
