Who Did ‘Santa Claus Is Coming to Town’ Best?

Every week, we take a song from last night’s Glee, scour YouTube for five more versions of the same song — whether they be amateur, professional, or something you’d rather not think about — and let you vote on who did it best. This week, we were feeling a little bit more circumspect, and so we decided to leave it to the pros. Herewith, seven different versions of “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town,” by everyone from the Pointer Sisters to Pat Boone, with a little bit of Glee tucked in at the end. Is this song best sung traditionally à la Sinatra, rocked out à la Springsteen, or done artificially traditional-and-rocking à la Glee? You be the judge!
