After Miley Cyrus’s appearance on The Tonight Show, her revised version of Santa Baby went viral on the internet. The pop sensation updated the 1953 Christmas classic’s lyrics to make them more appropriate for the modern world.
As a result of numerous fans asking her to record a studio version of the song and release it, her rendition of the song gained a lot of popularity online. Her masterful reworking, which includes lines like “Listen Santa to what I say, A girl’s best friend is an equal pay, So stop interrupting me when I talk, And don’t text me pictures of your…,” hasn’t happened yet.
Below are the lyrics to her reworked version:
Santa baby, I hear you’ve got
Some presents for me, Miley
I’ve been an awfully good girl
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa baby, I don’t need any fancy jewelry
Not me, I’ve got something else in mind
Santa baby
And I don’t need your presents tonight
Don’t want diamonds, cash, or stars
Nothing that comes in a box
No more fluff, I’ve had enough
And I can buy my own damn stuff
Santa baby, I bought a baller car of my own
My own, I bought it all by myself
Santa baby
With zero help from Elf on a Shelf
Listen Santa to what I say
A girl’s best friend is an equal pay
So stop interrupting me when I talk
And don’t text me pictures of your…
Santa baby, i’d love to know my ass
Won’t get grabbed at work
By some ignorant jerk
Tell the dirtbag to put
Away the chimney tonight
Put away the chimney tonight
Just put away your chimney tonight
So put away your chimney tonight
So put away your chimney tonight
When opposites come together to create something enchanting, it’s one of the most amazing things in life. When Miley Cyrus chose to cover Metallica’s Nothing Else Matters, that’s exactly what transpired. Miley Cyrus, who rose to stardom as the star of the teen sitcom Hannah Montana, is the daughter of the renowned country music performer Billy Ray Cyrus.
She went on to have a prosperous pop, country, and rock music career after that. Conversely, Metallica has always been a band that plays only heavy metal. Although they have always been well-liked among metal fans, their profile has lately increased as a result of their song Master of Puppets being featured in the blockbuster Netflix series Stranger Things.
Miley Cyrus covered Metallica’s “Stayin’ Alive” as part of her 2019 Glastonbury set, feeling it was written for her. The song was included in her tribute album, The Blacklist, released in 2021. Miley’s version features Elton John on piano, lending emotion to the song. The song was inspired by Cyrus’s love for music and her recent loss of her home in the California forest fires.
