25. Lyrics: "I want a hippopotamus for Christmas. Only a hippopotamus will do." There are two other animals mentioned in this song. Do you know what they are?

From Quiz I Want A Hippopotamus for Christmas

Answer: crocodiles and rhinoceroses

"No crocodiles, no rhinoceroses I only like hippopotamuses And hippopotamuses like me too" Recorded by Gayla Peevey in 1953, the song's popularity resulted in the gifting of an actual hippopotamus (named Matilda) to Gayla at Christmas time. She donated the animal to the Oklahoma City zoo, where Matilda lived for almost 50 years. I'm sure this song is an annoyance to adults, but "I Want A Hippopotamus for Christmas" is quite cute/catchy and regarded as one of the enduring Christmas novelty tunes. If you live in Canada, you'll recognise it as the song used to advertise Telus phone products. If you live elsewhere, you can listen to it on various websites.

26. When is this song usually sung?

From Quiz ...And Two Eyes Made Out of Coal

Answer: Christmas

Even though this song is most often sung at Christmas time, the word Christmas is not in the song.
