Bob Dylan: Must Be Santa

Although he is approaching 70, Bob Dylan continues to surprise. He just released
Christmas In the Heart, a collection of holiday standards. The album has been universally panned by critics, but I absolutely love his version of "Must Be Santa."



Click above to see Dylan in a blond wig host a rollicking Christmas party. The only thing missing is National Lampoon Vacation's Clark Griswold, but the performance has a terrific Chicago feel--he transforms "Must Be Santa" into a rousing polka.

All proceeds from Christmas In the Heart will go to charity.

Listen closely to the lyrics, Dylan alters the roster of Santa's reindeer a bit.

Thanks - I was pretty curious about this cd after reading an entertaining review of it. The reviewer didn't say it was bad, just strange. And he said that "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" might make you want to be sure your doors and windows are locked (or something like that).
