'Frosty the Snowman' is a Christmas song that has been covered by many artists over the years. In 1950, multiple versions of the song were released, the first by (the Singing Cowboy also known for his version of 'Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer') and the second - by New Yorker - following shortly thereafter.

The original song opens as follows:

"Frosty the snowman
Was a jolly happy
With a corn-cob
And a nose
And his eyes made out of

Frosty the snowman
Made the children laugh and
And were they surprised
When before their
He came to life that day

There must have been some in
That old silk they found
For when they placed it on his
He began to around"

And continues:

"Frosty the Snowman
Knew the was hot that day
So he said let's
And we'll have fun
Before I away"

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer:

'Frosty the Snowman' is a seasonal favourite that spans literature, music and television but it is arguably the song, first released in 1950, that is the most well-known in the 21st century (not least because you can't get away from the tune in shopping malls and supermarkets throughout November and December).

The first version of 'Frosty the Snowman' was released by country music star Gene Autry, supported by the band, The Cass County Boys. Hot on its heels was a cover by the entertainer Jimmy Durante (featuring Jackie Vernon). Both Durante and Vernon would go on to provide their voices to the television special of 'Frosty the Snowman' in 1969 with Durante taking on the narration and Vernon voicing the snowman himself.

Other artists that have released a cover of the song include Nat King Cole (also in 1950), Perry Como (1957), The Ronettes (1963) and Johnny Mathis (2003).

The lyrics themselves tell the story of a jolly snowman - that has coal for eyes and smokes a corn-cob pipe - that is animated on a winter's day when playful children place an old silk hat on the snowman's head. As the lyrics say, "there must have been some magic in that old silk hat" because Frosty the Snowman comes to life and starts dancing and playing with the excited children.

The rest of the song follows the snowman as he tries to avoid melting as the sun begins to shine, but, alas, a snowman cannot last forever. Towards the end of the song, Frosty the Snowman waves goodbye to the kids but tells them to not be sad as he would be "back again some day".
