Santa Claus is Coming (in a Boogie Woogie Choo-Choo Train) - The Tractors


December Theme: Christmastime Again

If you've ever heard a song form this group before, chances are pretty good that you heard the original version of this song: "Baby Likes to Rock It (Like a Boogie Woogie Choo-Choo Train)". "Rock It" was by far their biggest commercial hit. It played on jukeboxes and radio stations like crazy upon its release.


The band is a very cool, revolving-door sort of collaboration of musicians. The lead singer, Steve Ripley, is the only full member. All of the other players rotate in and out of the band as they are available. Ripley likes to think of the band as a "state of mind" more than a typical music group.
