Put One Foot in Front of the Other - Santa Claus is Coming to Town (Lyrics) [4K HD] 

Where are you watching from? Let me know down below! 👇

When I weighed over 300 lbs....I played this in my mind. With exercise, dieting and determination I lost 50 lbs in 4 months.

"Don't be the rule, be the exception"...what a great line!

To all the commenters who are so affected by this song; I'm right there with you. I have loved this song since forever and sing along every year. Much love from central PA. Ho ho ho

My father passed away this saturday, and I really wish we could've watched this one last time I hope with this on, someway he can be watching from wherever he is

This song, and covers of it, is my secret weapon to helping me overcome my pain to get up and walk. I suffer from hypermobility Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, and am unfortunately quite obese, so mobility is an uphill battle for me that I refuae to surrender to. This movie was my absolute favorite Xmas movie as a little girl, and this song in particular has always held a special place in my heart.

Always loved the rankin/bass specials. Classics.

Yup. Still makes me tear up. Such happy childhood memories.

I used to send this song to get me through basic training and every time I struggle. Bring back good memories of the Christmas seasons watching movies with family.

I remember trying teach my grandmother to walk again with this song. She may have passed but I still think of her whenever I hear this song.

I’m going to use this for a sermon one day!

That's what Papa said to me...that's how he makes it through his day..after day. This version is exactly that except with a happy beat. 🎶 Thank you🦩 🌈Love Happy 🦋Ellen! My Sister Always 💐

My Mom sent this to me to motivate me. I'm coming back as a reminder!! 😊

We used to sing this to my youngest sister when we were teaching her to walk! 🥰

This is one song I always come back to that makes me smile

It’s absolutely wild how so many of us use this song as a motivational tool even tho the premise is so simple.

I love this song. It brings back childhood memories, watching the cartoon during the Christmas Holiday w/my family. WOW.

I don't remember them doing this, but my parents said that they sang this to me and my siblings when we were learning how to walk.

Just through my back out and remembered this song. Nothing but joy here

Havent heard this particular version in years. Nostalgia i tell ya

I'd love to find the original audio so I can add it to my Spotify holiday playlist. This song is written so beautifully.

Lets not beat around the bush here, its just one of the best musical numbers of all time.

These movies always make me feel like I’m little again and watching them with my little brother at my grandparents house or with my parents. Now it’s a little more special to me. I’m in my 2nd year of college now. Last year was my very first time ever living away from my family and I had such a difficult time that I would just be sobbing in my room because I missed them so much. Now I’m all grown up and on my own with my whole life ahead

1:17 I can't help but note how utterly immaculate the background vocals in this verse are.

I'm so happy I grew up watching these Xmas specials 🙂

This lives rent free in my head while I use my mirroring aid since I'm autistic

I used to whistle this while dealing with drunks at work, and after years I finally had an older lady realize what I was whistling and she got mad as help lol

I sang this to myself when my troop was hiking through the trails of Camp Buffalo Bill near Yellowstone.

Love this so much! Has gotten me through so many difficult times in life and still does!

I love and adore this beautiful song. ❤❤❤ its a great song for moving forward in life

Best part of this one.

One of my favorite Christmas cartoons. This is my favorite song!

One foot at a time... have faith...

I love this song!

I learned to ice skate to this song lol😅

BPD this is my go-to depression song kind of go to the song for every time I'm feeling hopeless

I love this movie so much. It's my favourite Christmas movie and has been since I was a kid.

A fast walking man is hard to beat? Tell that to Jason paul. 😂😂😂😂😂

This song decided to manifest itself in my mind this morning, waking me from my sleep

wow so many childhood memories

I'm learning how to animate in Blender for the first time. I have this song on repeat as my models are literally taking their first steps!

Once my leg heals enough for me to start walking again, I am going to listen to this to re learn how to walk

This and Vanilla Sky has a very optimistic message, central to it's theme: there's always time to change.

I grew up with this song and it still motivates me! 🥰

If Rudolph’s version of Santa is in this film. He would be verbally abusing Winter Warlock the whole time.

when February ends and you start to pull out of the seasonal depression

I've always theorized that Winter was once part of Sombertown, but was chased out hence his bitter loner life.

Thank you for the video, greatly appreciated. Since the 60's when this was new, some days this is the only way I drag myself out of the house. I sing this song to myself and make it outside, and eventually where I'm going. This song means the world to me. Take care, stay safe, have a nice day. 👵🙂✌️☮️🖖 😷 🙉🙈🙊 🌎☮️

The virgin Bojack Horsemen vs the chad winter warlock

many blessings, Kimmy

I watch this movie every Christmas with my dad and mom

I’m 22 and still be singing this lmao

Change can be difficult, but it's how we grow. It can be the hardest thing to realize you can't hold on to something forever. Sometimes, you have to let it go; but, of the things you let go, you'd be surprised what makes its way back to you.

W O O H O O

Happy dec 1st everyone

This song came to me when me and mom had to not only move to a new house but we had so much stuff that we had to keep coming back after days and days and days and I was so exhausted. 😂

What will happen if you sing this to a guy in a wheelchair?

This is me and my dads jam lmaoooo

That awkward moment when you learn this character was likely written in protest of the Soviet Union when they outlawed Ded Moroz as their Christmas figure.

Yup Interesting times 🇺🇸.

My ma would play this move along with the Rudolf one during Christmas don’t care how corny/old it is love this

How I quit my addiction.

I sent this to my girlfriend after she got a cast on her foot

How is break the laws of physics easy

Talk about Kris Kringle (Mickey Rooney) as a red-headed Bobby Sherman.

0:11, 😆

Pass the aux cord fam

Who notices the subtle shit in this scene? Wink wink

People may laugh at me but this is a motivation song to me at 28 years old , and also brings tears to my eyes from memories as a family hearing this through the years

I learned how to walk with this song after a brain injury

One thing I always liked that they added is that, before this song, the Winter Warlock is never seen walking. He teleports everywhere. So this song is both a literal one about taking a first step and about taking steps towards redemption.

When the Winter Warlock begins to take his steps, the song switches to a 7/4 time signature. This creates an 'aksak" or " limping" effect, which reflects how the Warlock is struggling to move forward.

Given how often Kris defies gravity, I’m convinced he’s an airbender.

Who else here reliving childhood?

Who would have thought a Christmas special would have given me advice I would carry for the rest of my life!

I did not grow up with this song, but when I was at my lowest points, and when I dip back into a bad pattern now, this song brings tears to my eyes and makes getting up and doing the next thing I need to feel possible again. I'm a licensed counselor, and I can't tell you how important it is for a person with depression to do "just one thing", even if it seems insignificant, to build the momentum they need to improve their lives. Sometimes, forgetting your to-do list, and just changing clothes, just taking a shower, just making the bed, just picking up some trash, or just eating some food makes the difference between a day where nothing gets done, and a day where half or even all of the things you wanted to do get done. Thanks for listening, and remember, it's always okay to come back to that first step, because it's a lesson that we keep learning our whole lives.

This really shows how merciful, humble, inspiring and kind Chris Kringle is. How he taught the Winter Warlock how to be good even after the warlock had him caught by his tree minions and threatened his life. He just set himself aside and was a kind and generous soul.

This song helped me beat a fentanyl addiction and get back to normal life :) helped me as a kid cheer up

my mom grew up watching this movie and it makes me happy to see her face glow while she watches something so nostalgic to her

OMG I remember watching this growing up 🥰

Whenever I’m backpacking and I start to get tired/sore/hungry/cramping etc. this song always seems to creep into my mind and I start to sing it to myself in a loop until I reach my camp for the night Always funny how things can just find their way into your mind

I always loved how manic Kris looks, when somebody says something that sounds ridiculous to him, lol

This Rankin/Bass special manages to teach core Christian values without actually getting biblical, and it's actually quite beautiful.

So many memories of skipping around the living room while singing along to this song when I was little. Gets me so nostalgic but gosh I can’t believe how fast time goes. I just don’t know how I remember things like this so vividly but all I can guess is that it’s just the power of pure happy moments in life and little memories of things like these are just so precious to me. I’ll always be so grateful for this movie and a lot of the other ones like it. I don’t know why I’m acting like I’m old though since I’m only 15 but still, the nostalgia is just so eminent for me and it just makes me so happy and sad at the same time.

Sang this to my mom multiple times a day in her last months when I'd help her walk. ♥️

Blasphemous as it might be to say, I think this special is better than Rudolph. I don’t know why, I just love it so much. It’s a great origin for Santa Clause.

I just love kris's positive ans kind personality we need more people like this in the real world

dangit. My friend's dad started singing this under his breath while going up a hill. Tried to remember where it was from and thought 'no... it couldn't be from that Santa Claus movie' and sure enough. Here I am

Such an underrated song!

This is getting me through the day dealing with depression and disassociating.

I have been diagnosed with depression and bipolar and when I am depressed it feels everything is in slow motion and my body weighs 2000 lbs it's very hard to get out of bed. When he says a fast walking man is hard to beat I see it as the world of situation beating me down but I have the power to get out of bed no matter how hard my mind tells my everything is worthless I can get up and go for a walk or jog. I love this song and just wanted to say thanks to the guy that posted it on RU-vid.

my fav song from this special. i don't have kids and i'm 38 but i still watch the classics every year once. favs: this movie, Rudolph,and Nestor the long eared christmas donkey. i actually needed several tissues for that last one i mean i legit sob in parts. so cute though

As an amputee, I approve this song!

This song is a moving anthem. 6 1/2 years ago, I caught an autoimmune virus that caused my whole lower area to be paralyzed from the waist down. So scary with fears of not being able to move around.... walk, run, or even dance. Went through tons of testing (which they call came negative). From the hospital to a rehab center, I went through 3 1/2 weeks of PT. On the last time, I was able to make a long route around the PT room and I walked out the door. A miracle moment. Now hearing this song reminds me on how much hard work it took for me to get back up on my feet again. I knew this song very briefly as a kid. Then during COVID, I did a 50th Anniversary virtual production of this legendary special. Singing in the Ensemble which it came back into my life. At the same time, I was creating my own solo cabaret act which I got to do 2 runs in NYC this year. When I was finding songs in my setlist, I had this one in it. Literally my theme anthem now. It actually gets a great response from the audience. PUT ONE FOOT IN FRONT OF THE OTHER AND SOON YOU'LL BE WALKING OUT THE DOOR!!

Awww my friend just sent me this after I broke my hip n femur n unable to walk n I thought it was going to be an inappropriate video lol

I have extreme social anxiety to the point where I legit forget how to walk if I’m around people. So I look down & sing this in my head to remember how to walk. I always wondered where tf I heard it. Until last night when my boyfriend was talking about this and the Rudolph story. Im so glad I finally figured it out lmfao

RIP Arthur Rankin, Jr. and Jules Bass. I can't believe this film making duo has passed on.

When I got Covid and I had to recover the strength to walk again, this is what I was singing in my head, crying as I tried to get my legs to both move and hold myself up.

Still the best motivational song, of all time. Sad part is. Many, think it's a kid song! I loved this and watched it every year!

Without a doubt this is my favourite song from the movie, it's so catchy, positive and optimistic.
