Santa Baby
LIVING ROOM - Kylie Minogue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Been an awful good girl
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney, tonight
Santa baby, a '54 convertible too, light blue
I'll wait up for you, dear
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
Think of all the fellas that I haven't kissed
Next year, I could be just as good
If you'd check out my Christmas list
Santa baby, I want a yacht
And really that's not a lot
I've been an angel all year
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney, tonight
Santa honey, one little thing that I really need, the deed
To a platinum mine
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney, tonight
Santa cutie, fill my stocking with a duplex and checks
Sign your "X" on the line
Santa cutie, and hurry down the chimney, tonight
Come and trim my Christmas tree
With some decorations bought at Tiffany's
I really do believe in you
Let's see if you believe in me
Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing, a ring
I don't mean on a phone
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney, tonight
Hurry down the chimney, tonight
Hurry, tonight
"LIVING ROOM" by Kylie Minogue is a modern reinterpretation of the classic Christmas song "Santa Baby." In this song, Kylie expresses her desires and wishes to Santa Claus in a playful and flirtatious manner. She is asking Santa to bring her various luxurious gifts, symbolizing her materialistic desires and fantasies.
The first verse sets the tone as Kylie asks Santa to slip a sable (a type of fur) under the Christmas tree for her. She also assures Santa that she has been a good girl and requests him to hurry down the chimney tonight. This portrays Kylie's anticipation and excitement for the extravagant gifts she desires.
In the second verse, Kylie continues to list her extravagant wishes, asking for a '54 convertible car in light blue. She playfully promises to wait up for Santa and emphasizes her desire for him to come down the chimney as soon as possible. This verse signifies her yearning for extravagance and the thrill of receiving such lavish gifts.
The third verse takes a reflective tone as Kylie contemplates the fun she might have missed and the opportunities she could seize in the coming year. She suggests that if Santa checks her Christmas list, she can be just as good and deserving next year. This reflects her cheeky acknowledgment of her own desires and her willingness to be even better in order to have her wishes granted.
In the fourth verse, Kylie asks Santa for a yacht, emphasizing that it is not a huge demand considering her angelic behavior throughout the year. She again implores him to come down the chimney tonight, emphasizing her eagerness and expectation for Santa to fulfill her desires promptly.
In the fifth verse, Kylie changes her tone slightly as she affectionately refers to Santa as "Santa honey" and asks for the deed to a platinum mine, suggesting her desire for ultimate wealth and luxury. By emphasizing the importance of this one little thing, she continues to create a playful and flirtatious atmosphere while further articulating her extravagant desires.
The sixth verse introduces a new term of endearment, "Santa cutie," and Kylie requests Santa to fill her stocking with a duplex (a type of house) and checks (referring to financial stability). The line "Sign your 'X' on the line" further underscores Kylie's desire for Santa to fulfill these materialistic desires. She once again urges Santa to hurry down the chimney tonight, maintaining the playful and eager tone of the song.
In the final verse, Kylie invites Santa to come and trim her Christmas tree with decorations she bought at Tiffany's, a high-end jewelry store. She expressively states her unwavering belief in Santa Claus and playfully challenges him to see if he believes in her as well.
The song concludes with Kylie reminding Santa of one little thing she forgot to mention, a ring. By specifying that she doesn't mean a ring on a phone, she leaves it open to interpretation as a romantic desire for a marriage proposal or a symbol of commitment. She playfully ends the song by urging Santa to hurry down the chimney tonight, emphasizing her eagerness for her wishes to be granted before Christmas.
Overall, "LIVING ROOM" playfully portrays Kylie Minogue's desires for an extravagant and luxurious Christmas, with a touch of flirtation and cheekiness. The lyrics depict her eagerness for Santa Claus to fulfill her materialistic wishes promptly, creating an atmosphere of playful anticipation and longing.
