A HOLIDAY RECORDS COUNTDOWN: 09 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS!

_______________

Santa Claus and His Old Lady” is a novelty bit by Cheech and Chong, one of their best-known comedy routines. It was the duo’s first single.

“Santa Claus and His Old Lady” did not appear on the duo’s eponymous debut album, although the B-side, “Dave,” did. It has since received continued airplay on radio stations during the Christmas season, particularly those that switch to temporary all-Christmas music formats. It peaked at number 4 on the Billboard Christmas Singles chart upon its release in 1971, then peaked again at number 3 on the same chart in 1972 and 1973.

(Entries on any given week’s Christmas Singles chart were ineligible for the corresponding edition of the Hot 100 at the time).
