Background

Australian children's pop group The Tin Lids released their debut album in November 1991 via Mushroom Records. They had formed a year earlier with the line-up of Mahalia Barnes and her three younger siblings Eliza-Jane "E J", Jackie and Elly-May, all on vocals. They are the four children of Jane Mahoney and Jimmy Barnes. Hey Rudolph! was arranged, recorded and produced by David Frogatt, who also provided most of its instrumentation, at Jimmy's Freight Train Studios.[2] "Christmas Day" was released as the album's lead and only single in November 1991. The song peaked at number 40 on the ARIA singles chart.
