JustJason Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 That song is about our very own Oklahoma City Zoo. We got the hippo way back when too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustJason Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 The song "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" was written in 1950 by John Rox and became a nationwide hit in 1953 when ten-year-old Oklahoma native Gayla Peevey sang the song as a way to raise money for the Oklahoma City Zoo's first hippopotamus. In December of that year the city received Matilda the hippo for Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
