"Suzy Snowflake"is a song written bySid TepperandRoy C. Bennett,made famous byRosemary Clooneyin 1951 and released as a 78 RPM record byColumbia Records,MJV-123.
Suzy is a snowflake playfully personified. It is commonly regarded as aChristmas song,although it makes no mention of the holiday. The child-oriented lyrics celebrate the fun of winter.
A cartoon short based on the song was made in 1953 by Centaur Productions, with stop-motion animation created byWah Ming Chang.[1]It is annually shown during the Christmas season onWGN-TVinChicagoandWJAC-TVinJohnstown, Pennsylvania,along with another production by Centaur,Hardrock, Coco and Joeand an early UPA version ofFrosty the Snowman.
Clooney later re-recorded the song for her 1978 Mistletoe Records albumChristmas with Rosemary Clooney.[2]It has been covered by other artists, most notablySoul Coughingin 1997.
