Late Sunday evening, Kim Kardashian unveiled a captivating yet eccentric cover of "Santa Baby," accompanied by an enigmatic music video that left viewers spellbound. The visuals transport us into what seems to be a lively Christmas gathering, with Kardashian navigating through the house on all fours. Adorned in a blonde wig, a sky-blue cardigan, fuchsia leg warmers, towering heels, and a beige bodysuit possibly from her own Skims line, she exudes an unmistakable flair for the dramatic.
Among the surreal tableaux unfolding within the video's narrative are diverse scenes: a woman embodying Mary stands beside a docile donkey, an elf-costumed man lounges on a kitchen counter, indulging in a bowl of food, scantily dressed ladies twist and turn in a game of Twister, a nearly bald Christmas tree undergoes a desperate pruning, a woman strokes the water in a colossal tank, and a gentleman sits for a haircut amidst the chaos. More striking still is the omnipresent theme of cash – vast sums of it scattered about. One man meticulously counts bills, another vacuums money from the floor, while two individuals engage in a physical altercation amidst flying dollars.
The clip culminates in a shot of someone dressed as Santa Claus, a videocamera obscuring their face. As the Kris Kringle figure pulls away the camera, revealing none other than Macaulay Culkin, star of the iconic film "Home Alone," the audience is left in awe and bewilderment.
Responses to the video on Kardashian's Instagram post were a mixture of astonishment and humor. One follower exclaimed, "What in the methamphetamine-induced Christmas heresy is this spectacle?" Another commented, "Am I alone in sensing demonic undertones?" A third quipped, "I fancy I have just beheld Kim inchworm her way through a Christmas-adorned asylum, a scene as surreal as it was festive." Yet another pondered, "Just because one has the means, doesn't necessarily justify the deed..."
Produced by Travis Barker, Kardashian's brother-in-law married to her sister Kourtney, the cover of Eartha Kitt's timeless tune marks yet another venture into the musical realm for Kardashian. She shared that Nadia Lee Cohen and Charlie Denis helmed the directorial duties for this enigmatic production. This isn't Kardashian's maiden voyage into music; she previously released a music video for the song "Jam (Turn It Up)" in 2010, pledging half of the proceeds to charity, albeit without pursuing a full-length album.
