Born and raised in Melbourne, Minogue first achieved recognition starring in the Australian soap opera Neighbours, playing tomboy mechanic Charlene Robinson. She gained prominence as a recording artist in the late 1980s and released four bubblegum and dance-pop-influenced studio albums produced by Stock Aitken Waterman. By the early 1990s, she had amassed several top ten singles in the UK and Australia, including "I Should Be So Lucky", "The Loco-Motion", "Hand on Your Heart", and "Better the Devil You Know". Taking more creative control over her music, Minogue signed with Deconstruction Records in 1993 and released Kylie Minogue (1994) and Impossible Princess (1997), both of which received positive reviews. She returned to mainstream dance-oriented music with 2000's Light Years, including the number-one hits "Spinning Around" and "On a Night Like This". The follow-up, Fever (2001), was an international breakthrough for Minogue, becoming her best-selling album to date. Two of its singles, "Love at First Sight" and "In Your Eyes", became hits, but its lead single, "Can't Get You Out of My Head" became one of the most successful singles of the 2000s, selling over five million units.
Minogue continued reinventing her image and experimenting with a range of genres on her subsequent albums, which spawned successful singles such as "Slow", "2 Hearts", "All the Lovers", "Santa Baby", "Timebomb" and "Dancing". With her 2020 album DISCO, she became the first female artist to have a chart-topping album in the UK for five consecutive decades. Minogue made her film debut in The Delinquents (1989) and portrayed Cammy in Street Fighter (1994). She has also appeared in the films Moulin Rouge! (2001), Jack & Diane, Holy Motors (2012) and San Andreas (2015). In 2014, she appeared as a judge on the third series of The Voice UK and The Voice Australia. Her other ventures include product endorsements, children's books, fashion, and charitable work.
Minogue was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire in the 2008 New Year Honours for services to music. She was appointed by the French government as a Chevalier (knight) of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres for her contribution to the enrichment of French culture. In 2005, while Minogue was on tour, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She was awarded an honorary Doctor of Health Science (D.H.Sc.) degree by Anglia Ruskin University in 2011 for her work in raising awareness for breast cancer. At the 2011 ARIA Music Awards, she was inducted by the Australian Recording Industry Association into the ARIA Hall of Fame. She was appointed Officer of the Order of Australia (AO) in the 2019 Australia Day Honours.

Santa Claus Is Coming To Town
Kylie Minogue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You'd better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
He's making a list, he's checking it twice
He's gonna find out who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is coming to town
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness' sake
Oh, you'd better watch out, you'd better not cry
You'd better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
He sees you when you are sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good, be good for goodness' sake
You'd better watch out, you'd better not cry
You'd better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town, to town
Yes he's on his way
Okay
He's got toys all over the sleigh
Oh yay
Santa is coming to town
Where'd you go
Right here
The song "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" by Kylie Minogue is a classic Christmas tune that reminds us that Santa Claus is coming to town and he is watching and keeping tabs on our behavior. The song starts with the warning that “You’d better watch out, you’d better not cry, You’d better not pout, I’m telling you why, Santa Claus is coming to town." This means that Santa Claus is not only bringing gifts but also keeping watch on what children are doing. He keeps track of who is being naughty or nice, and he rewards the good children with presents.
The second verse of the song emphasizes Santa's watchful eye on our actions, "He's making a list, he's checking it twice, He's gonna find out who's naughty and nice, Santa Claus is coming to town." This means that Santa is keeping a list of the children's behavior throughout the year, and when he comes to town, he checks it twice to ensure that he rewards the good children with toys and gifts.
The overall message of the song is that children should behave well throughout the year if they want to receive the presents they desire from Santa. Santa Claus is portrayed in the song as a figure who shows the importance of good behavior and the consequences of being naughty.
