Santa Baby
"Santa Baby" was originally sung and recorded in 1953 by Eartha Kitt. The song was a huge hit for Kitt, and she later said that it was one of her favorite songs to record. A sequel, "This Year's Santa Baby", was recorded by Kitt in 1954, to no commercial success; Kitt also reprised the original song for a 1963 re-recording with a more uptempo arrangement (Madonna's popular rendition for the 1987 charity album A Very Special Christmas is based on this latter version). The song gained considerable exposure after it was featured in the 1989 film Driving Miss Daisy.
The song "Hey Daddy" was performed by popular singer and actress Eartha Kitt in the 1940s. Much like her famous hit "Santa Baby," "Hey Daddy" features a playful and flirtatious tone. Kitt's sultry voice and distinctive style contributed to the song's charm and appeal during that era.

AnswerI think it may be a reference to Buddy Holly---------------------The song you are thinking of is Monotonus which Eartha sang in New Faces of 1952 and the film "New Faces" It is actually a reference to Johnny Ray ("I even made Johnny Ray smile for me")who in 1951 had the hit song "Cry" (Lyrics start something like " If your sweetheart sends a letter of good bye..." ) Other lyrics of the song are also likely lost on todays generation such as " a camel once walked a mile for me", which is a take off on the Camel cigarette ads of that day with the tag line"I'd walk a mile for a Camel".----------------------The questioner had the right song. The line is "I want to sing songs like the guy who cries." It was on her album "That Bad Eartha," which was released in 1958. It's not Buddy Holly, then, whose biggest hit yet was "That'll be the Day," an upbeat number, and Johnny Ray's "Cry" was old news. Paul Anka was by far the weepiest of the teen idols, but "A Time To Cry" and "Puppy Love" were still a couple of years away. Eartha seems to be imitating Johnny Mathis when she gets to that line, and the timing is right. He was the new star of the day.---------------------Actually, the song "I Want to be Evil" was recorded on March 12, 1953 at Manhattan Center NYC and first appeared on the RCA 10" album "RCA Presents Eartha Kitt", the EPB3062 2 disc ep set of 8 songs by the same name, and the single 20/47/5442. The sheet music for the song is copywrighted 1952/1953.
