- On Nov. 28, Gayla Peevey, singer of the holiday favorite "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" visited the OKC Zoo for a live performance in honor of the song's 65th anniversary!
Loved by many for generations, this seasonal melody about the perfect holiday present (a hippo!) has a unique connection to the OKC Zoo. Recorded in 1953, by OKC native Gayla, “I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas” was inspiration for getting the Zoo its first hippopotamus - Matilda.
Shopping for a hippo fan this year? To commemorate this special anniversary, the OKC Zoo partnered with Peppermint Narwhal to design a T-shirt, available for $35, with proceeds benefiting pygmy hippo conservation. Also available at the OKC Zoo, is a Pygmy Hippo Limited Edition animal adoption package ($100) that includes a pygmy hippo plush, adoption certificate, online name recognition, pygmy hippo fact sheet, OKC Zoo canvas tote, two OKC Zoo general admission tickets, a postcard autographed by Gayla Peevey and the iconic T-shirt. The T-shirt and adoption package can be purchased at the OKC Zoofriends membership office!
As a grown man, and long time rock and roll / hard rock guitar player, I am not embarrassed to say I love this song.
Same here, she's got a Iconic voice!
Lots of childstars from back in the day have such recognizable voices, I can't get enough of Jackson 5 still. I'm glad she wasn't thrusted too far into the spotlight tho, show biz is a tough world for just a kiddo. Hard rock gets hard sometimes, so what I wanna listen to some lil twerp sing about a hippo?
She’s just the sweetest person ever ❤️

My daughter and I fell in love with this song the first time we heard it, and whenever it came on the radio we'd stop everything and go all in singing and loving it up - thank you for the song it's absolutely wonderful Gayla ❤

@@presleyloves why you mad bro 💀
Wow she’s amazing she’s literally history
Omgggg I LOVE THIS SONG AND SO AMAZING SHE STILL PERFORMS THIS
I love love love this song!!! Good to see that she still likes to perform it.
So cool this was in Oklahoma. I love my state!
Great to see a child star who made it through life seemingly unscathed. Infact, it seems to have enriched her life. What a star
Merry Christmas, Gayla!
Me too Derek Llewellyn feel like flash back past life look back coming back contact info
She a great singer
She's still got it.
I remember singing this song in 2nd grade
Gayla had a great singing voice, her proper songs as sung as Jamie Horton prove this.
They should make an animated special out of that song.
Wish they would stop talking and let me hear her sing 😒
She has the same voice since she was 10 OMG THATS CREEPY
Her voice is AMAZING!
She was singing with the song but yeah she kinda does
Nathalie Pinzon she can make her voce sound that way ...and so can I, but I’m telling you, her voice, whether singing or speaking, is almost as angelic as as her heart truly is! I’ve been lucky enough to have known her my entire life....Gayla is my aunt, and I have always loved her more like a big sister! She is a model of what humanity should be.
As weird as it is no matter how old singers gets, they’ll always be able to make themselves sound like they did when they first started
In 1984 there was several TV appearances of singers from the 1950s and they sounded exactly like they did 30 years that before
@@LifeOfJimbo dude I made that comment 2 years ago. Idk what I was thinking. But her voice is cool
I have the same stuffed hippo that little girl holds up at 0:38, it plays the song when you squeeze it's paw/foot.
👍
❤❤❤❤❤
Love u ma'am😙
She still sounds the exact same

hi groot
This would be a great video if it just had Ms. Peevey singing the song, but what's with all the narration and extraneous video overlay? IT's a 49 second video with less than 10 seconds of her actually performing the song. It's mostly narration about her appearance. Total waste of time.
i still am so shocked that a 10 year old wrote that, even if it was decades ago!
Well. She did not write it. Just sang it.
Bummer. I was hoping to actually get to hear her sing.
Please…I’ve always wanted to hear someone TALKING OVER THE LIVE RENDITION OF THIS SONG, instead of the person singing the song.
Smh. Learn when to be quiet.
