Bad Mister Frosty?

Was Bad Mister Frosty in the video game Clay Fighter named after Frosty the Snowman?

Obviously yes.

Canadian Brass version "darkly humorous"?

What makes it so?

Copyright status of this song? Released by what label?

I'm asking because some people named "J.E.L.L.i." released an album under CC-BY-3.0(more permissive license even than wikipedia!) on December 03, 2009 called "A Jolly J.E.L.L.i. Christmas" and one of their songs is "Frosty" (similar or same lyrics as "Frosty the Snowman") --> http://www.jamendo.com/en/track/478595 . If you know that "Frosty the Snowman" is copyrighted(which I suspect it is) please let me know. Uhm, just read right now on List_of_parties_to_international_copyright_agreements and it seems that USA signed their first international copyright treaty on September 16th, 1955. Maybe any internal laws in the USA that still makes it copyrighted in any way? Logictheo (talk) 18:04, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Song/TV inconsistency

Has anyone else noticed the major inconsistancy between the original song and the TV version? In the song, he says: "I'll be back again, some day." But, in the TV version, he is quoted as saying: "I'll be back, on Christmas Day." ToaJuaraevo (talk) 18:57, 24 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

covers

I was just listening to a Jimmy Durante version that's not the one from the TV special. The lyrics are rather different...not just "I'll be back again someday" but also several others. It just sounds old, if that makes sense...i'd guess it was from the 40s, except for the fact that the song isn't old enough. PurpleChez (talk) 14:34, 16 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I was just listening to that version... that's what prompted me to look up this article. There are some significant differences. I think those could be discussed here. PurpleChez (talk) 14:28, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A Frosty Crossover with Tom and Jerry

In celebration of the 50th anniversary of Frosty the Snowman, will Turner Entertainment and Warner Bros. Animation announce the plan to make a direct-to-video feature-length retelling of the 1969 Rankin/Bass animated TV special with Tom and Jerry? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.224.57.136 (talk) 02:12, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Released before 1950

On Sirius XM Holiday Channel 73 I just heard a Glenn Miller version of this song. Miller died in 1944 so this song must have been released no later than 1944. 2600:8805:8102:EE00:5183:E398:C621:5170 (talk) 18:06, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi - 1950 is in fact the year the song was written and when it charted (Jimmy Durante & Gene Autry versions). My guess is that you heard a version by The Glenn Miller Orchestra, which continued to tour and record after Miller's death (see Glenn Miller Orchestra) .
