"Back Door Santa" is a song written by Clarence Carter in collaboration
with Marcus Daniel, and originally performed by Carter. It was released
on a compilation album Soul Christmas in 1968. The track is in a 12-bar
blues format. The lyrics are sexually suggestive, not having much to do
with Christmas as a holiday. Run-D.M.C. sampled the song for "Christmas
in Hollis". The song begins with the lyric "I'm your Back door Santa / I
make my run / At the break of day." For some reason Carter recorded an
entirely different song with exactly the same title.
