"Little Saint Nick" is a Christmas song written by Brian Wilson and Mike Love and originally performed by The Beach Boys. It was first released as a single in December 1963, reaching #3 on the Christmas charts, and then re-recorded for their 1964 album The Beach Boys' Christmas Album. The song borrows its rhythm and structure from the group's 1963 hit "Little Deuce Coupe".
It is sometimes mistakenly called "Run Run Reindeer" because of the lyrics in the chorus [1]. In 2005, the song was re-recorded by Brian Wilson for his solo Christmas collection, What I Really Want for Christmas.
The song has been covered several times, including versions by John Denver and the Muppets (1979), Hanson (1997), Sugar Ray (2001), and McFly (2004). Some versions of the song include an xylophone while others don't. The song is also used in a Coca-Cola holiday commercial featuring a family of polar bears who stumble upon a festive penguin gathering.
