Bob Dylan performs a spirited version of Hal Moore and Bill Fredricks’ “Must Be Santa” on his Christmas album. The tune was also recorded by Mitch Miller in 1961 and Lorne Greene (with a kiddie choir) in 1966. The hilarious British attempt by Tommy Steele, OBE is more Music Hall than polka.
Brave Combo’s spirited “Dyno” (“push”) version of the tune may have been Dylan’s inspiration.
Royalties from Bob’s Christmas in the Heart recording will be donated to charity in perpetuity.
