Of course. My favorite as a kid.
No clue what that is
Unfortunately, I am very familiar with the song.
I’m from New Jersey, so I couldn’t rightly say if it was just a New York/New Jersey thing. But I definitely know the song.
I know the song, but only because its on some 1950s christmas CD I played when I was a kid. From the Midwest.
Never heard of it.
I do but only because I was married to an Italian yankee
Hee haw hee haw
Yeah, they play it on the radio here.
We know it in Boston. It’s the guido Xmas theme song
Nope
Jingady Jing!
*Hee haw, hee haw!*
It’s Dominic the Donkey!
Jingady Jing!
*Hee haw, hee haw!*
The Italian Christmas Donkey!
Ugh, yes. When I worked in a store years ago it was part of a 4 song loop at Christmas. Along with the Christmas Shoes, Grandma Got Runover by a Reindeer, and Rockin Around the Christmas Tree
Played every year on Z100.
No idea
Nope
If you live in the Tri-State you do
On the radio in CT
California born and raised. Did not hear this song until I was an adult. And I was introduced to it by someone who was amazed I had never heard it.
I was raised in the American west and didn’t hear of it until I dated someone from CT, who had a mom from the Bronx.
Jinga -da-jing hee-haw hee-haw! It’s Dominick the donkey! Jinga-da-jing hee-haw hee-haw! The Italian Christmas donkey!
Great, now it’s going to be stuck in my head all night.
(I’m a New York native so, yes, I know the song quite well).
It’s a Boston Italian thing too…My family is on the Irish side of things but some of my family moved to an Italian neighborhood and that brought that f’n god awful song into my life. Just reading the post is going to have me hearing the heehaaaw all night. Dumbest shit ever.
Yes. MA is very familiar with it
A friend of mine in Chicago introduced me to the song. I have not forgiven him for that.
I opened up my wife’s entire world last Christmas when I introduced her to Dominic the Donkey. And I did the most Italian American thing ever, and played it on repeat all day on Christmas. Neither of us are Italian American.
She doesn’t seem as festive this Christmas. I wonder why.
I’m from NJ, so…yes.
Love it
When Santa visits his paisons,
With Dominick he’ll be.
Because the reindeer cannot,
Climb the hills of Italy.
Grew up in Michigan and never heard of it.
Heard it all the time as a kid in New York. I feel like it’d be common in places with a significant Italian-American population
