Rockin around the Christmas tree.
It's a Christmas song legend.
I remember its premier on American Bandstand during the Christmas season of 1959. I would have been 4 at the time, almost 5.

I wish there was an IMDB for music (maybe there is, and if so, somebody will probably tell me.
At any rate, I did a Google search for the song and discovered that it recorded by Brenda Lee in 1958. She was 13 at the time. It's possible that it was played on American Bandstand in 1958, in which case I would have only been 3 at the time I remember Here's a link to an a brief article about it and her...

The article says that the song didn't really take off until 1959 or 1960.
IMDB does show Brenda appearing live on American Bandstand 3 times, the first in 1961.
