Rayman’s Song of the Day-Rockin Around the Christmas Tree by Brenda Lee [VIDEO]

Did you ever wonder when seasonal songs like the Christmas song, Rockin Around the Christmas Tree were first recorded? It was made famous by Brenda Lee, and here's the story.

Written by the same guy who wrote Holly Jolly Christmas and Rudolph The Red -Nosed Reindeer, Brenda Lee was 13 when she recorded this song in 1958. Something not a lot of people think about is that Christmas songs are usually recorded in the summer. That was the case here, as Lee recorded it on a hot July day in Nashville. Her producer turned up the air conditioning and set up a Christmas tree to get her in the mood.
