here are so many wonderful Christmas songs—Kelly Clarkson’s holiday catalog is practically a genre unto itself. And yet a couple of the classics are divisive: We’ve all heard the lyrics-focused debate about “Baby It’s Cold Outside,” for one. And then there’s “Santa Baby,” a cooing, meant-to-be-sexy plea for lavish gifts from the Santa in a lady’s life, famously recorded by Ariana Grande, Madonna, Eartha Kitt, and many more. While the song remains popular, its transactional, Marilyn Monroe-ish trope arguably feels a bit out of step with the times. Okay, really out of step.

Miley Cyrus' Feminist Re-Imagination of ''Santa Baby'' Is Iconic

Enter Miley Cyrus. The Seasons 11 and 13 Voice coach performed a much-needed alternate version of “Santa Baby” on December 2018 episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon alongside Jimmy Fallon and superstar music producer Mark Ronson. Cyrus’s fierce vocals make any song worth listening to, but this superior “Santa Baby” boasts lyrics like, “no more fluff, I’ve had enough / I can buy my own damn stuff.”

As Miley Cyrus sings her “Santa Baby,” Jimmy Fallon plays the part of her suitor, ready to present a diamond necklace. But Cyrus confuses him by saying no thanks.

“What are you doing?” Fallon asked Cyrus.

“You said I could update the lyrics!” the “Flowers” singer replied.

“Right, but I didn’t think that you—” Fallon said, as Cyrus belted the next line. That’s when Mark Ronson dances in to help Fallon present more gifts Cyrus has no need for.
