Famous Christmas Donkeys Part 3 - Burrito (1962)
I have to admit, I only recently discovered this song and it's amazing! Dominick used to be my favorite Christmas donkey, but little Burrito has moved into the number one spot!
"Burrito" was recorded by Don Lucas in 1962. I wasn't able to find a lot of info on Don, it looks like he has one other album to his name, an adult party record of some sort with mature themes. That's okay though Don, Burrito is all you ever needed to do.
Once again Santa needs the help of an animal other than his awesome flying reindeer to deliver toys in a country other than America. Why? No idea actually. Burrito is Santa's go to mode of transport in Mexico and instead of his sleigh, Santa loads all of the toys onto a wagon that Burrito pulls. Once again, seems really inefficient, but I guess Santa has reasons. Maybe the reindeer are in a union and this would violate their contract?
"Burrito" is a really fun and catchy song and Don Lucas does this awesome bray thing. His voice had to be so sore after word. I couldn't find the lyrics or a video to post, but trust me this song is so worth finding!
