The group has launched a clothing line, several perfume collections, doll lines, room decor, a book series and a successful video games line. The group has had three successful nationwide tours, Cheetah-licious Christmas Tour in 2006, The Party's Just Begun Tour from 2006-2007 and One World Tour in 2008. The Cheetah Girls grossed over USD $26 million from touring and that it's before their last tour One World, and their merchandise has grossed over USD $17 million in revenue. The group has won seven Radio Disney awards and one 'Communications Award'.
The Cheetah Girls started out as a 2003 Summer Line-Up movie for Disney Channel. Within the two years of release, it gained one of the biggest fan franchises in Disney history as well as on the soundtrack charts having a double platinum soundtrack and high-rated DVD release. After all of this success three of the original members Adrienne Bailon, Kiely Williams and Sabrina Bryan decided to reunite and record and a song for the Disneymania 3 CD. Raven-Symone however declined saying that "I want to work on my solo career right now. I loved being a Cheetah Girl but I don't want to be know as 'Galleria from The Cheetah Girls’, and as 'Raven Baxter' forever. Right now I just want to be Raven-Symone." Adrienne Bailon (who at the time had a reoccurring role on That's So Raven) claimed to "understand" but still said she was "disappointed" in Raven for not continuing what she started. However, the 3 remaining Cheetahs recorded I Won't Say (I'm In Love) for Disneymania 3. They also kept their names from The Cheetah Girls movie. Kiely was known as "Aqua", Adrienne was known as "Chanel" and Sabrina was known as "Dorinda". After seeing how much of a response I Won't Say (I'm In Love) received, Disney quickly approached the Cheetahs for a recording contract. Raven was again offered her spot back in the group and again declined. This upset Adrienne so much that she quit as her role of Alana on That's So Raven. The newly reformed Cheetah Girls signed the contract for one album with Walt Disney Records. The stage names Dorinda, Chanel and Aqua were also dropped at this time. Right before the release of their debut album they released a single for the Chicken Little soundtrack called Shake a Tail Feather, a re-make of an old Ray Charles song. Their debut album was a Christmas album titled Cheetah-licious Christmas. They also made a music video for their debut single also titled Cheetah-Licious Christmas. They performed this single at the Walt-Disney Christmas Day Parade and were featured in The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. After the success of their Christmas album they were reported as signing to Hollywood Records (Owned by Disney but for more successful artists such as Aly and A.J. and former Cheetah Raven-Symone). At this time a Cheetah Girls television series was in the works as well. It did however convince former cheetah Raven-Symone to return for television and film purposes only. The show filmed a total of 4 episodes when it was put on hiatus reason being That's So Raven being renewed for its fourth and final season. The Cheetahs (Including Raven) did however quickly meet up again for a sequel called The Cheetah Girls 2: When in Spain and recorded a soundtrack for the movie also. It was set to debut on Disney Channel on August 25, 2006. Raven however left the Cheetah Girls after filming wrapped claiming "Lots of work" that had to be completed. The Cheetah Girls went on a two month tour in mid-September of 2006 to promote The Cheetah Girls 2: When in Spain album. The newest sequel The Cheetah Girls 3 was given the name The Cheetah Girls: One World and was filmed in India. It premiered on August 22, 2008 with its soundtrack released on August 19th. The movie debuted with 6.2 million viewers, the lowest rated premiere for the series. In the fall of 2008, the group went on tour to support the One World movie, which would be their last tour together. In January 2009, the group officially announced its disbandment.I even heard the ONE WORLD somewehere but i can't remember when i heard. Still today they are the best best ever.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus
I did I did
I Saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus, (Santa, Santa)
underneath the mistletoe last night!
She didn't see me creep, (no she didn't)
down stairs to have a peep! (I was quite)
in my bedroom fast asleep. (but I wasn't)
Then I saw Mommy tickle Santa Claus,
underneath his beard so snowy white!
Oh, what a laugh it would have been,
If Daddy had only seen,
Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night!
Oh
No she didn't
I was quite
Then I saw Mommy tickle Santa Claus,
underneath his beard so snowy white!
Oh, what a laugh it would have been,
If Daddy had only seen,
Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night,
Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night!
I saw mommy kissing Santa and I wanna know why
I saw mommy kissing Santa and I wanna know why
I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus (Santa, Santa)
I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus (I know I did)
I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus (Santa, Santa)
The Cheetah Girls’ rendition of “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus” is quite the festive tune that speaks on a curious child’s discovery that his or her mother is kissing Santa Claus. The song is set during Christmas night, and the child is initially tucked in their bedroom when they hear something exciting happening downstairs. The child, in a moment of curiosity, sneaks down the stairs and finds their mother kissing Santa Claus under the mistletoe. The mother is unaware of the child’s presence and continues to playfully engage with Santa, tickling him beneath his snowy beard.
The child is amused by what they’ve just witnessed and begins to question why their mother is kissing Santa Claus, wondering if it’s because their father has cooled off or if it’s a secret forbidden love. The child repeats the chorus about seeing their mother kissing Santa Claus, emphasizing their disbelief and excitement. The song ends with the child feeling thrilled to have discovered something new and juicy while anxiously anticipating the next Christmas so they can see what surprises it holds.
