Wonderland Burlesque's The 12 Days Before Xmas: Day Three / Santa Claus Go Straight To The Ghetto - James Brown

Wonderland Burlesque's 
The 12 Days Before Xmas: Day Three
Santa Claus Go Straight To The Ghetto - James Brown

Why be in a funk when you can have some funk?

And the answer cat for that? 

The man with the solution to rid you of your emotional pollution?

That would be James Brown.

Santa Claus Go Straight To The Ghetto is a song written by Alfred Ellis, Charles Bobbit, and Hank Ballard. Recorded by James Brown for his 22nd album, it first appeared on 1968's A Soulful Christmas on King's Records.

Note: The title was lifted by Snoop Dogg for a holiday number he and his crew released in 1996, but has nothing to do with the original.

Nope. This one? This is pure James Brown!
