The Little Drummer Boy is one of my favorite Christmas carols because it was the perfect song to "play" as a little kid. You could beat the rhythm against pots & pans or
luggage & it sounded like the actual song. Well not really. However, I found these facts out at wikipedia & wanted to share.
- Words & music by Katherine K Davis. Henry Onorati & Harry Simeone have been credited with writing it, but they just arranged the music for their recordings of the song. The standard version is the one arranged by Harry Simeone also called Carol of the Drum.
- Favorite Christmas Carol of Richard Nixon.
- The Animaniacs interpreted the song with Wakko as drummer boy which is all of the endorsement that I need.
