It reached #8 on Billboard Hot 100 〔http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwu8vnM6gnE&feature=youtu.be〕 Due to the immense popularity of Gene Autry's Christmas songs "Here Comes Santa Claus" and "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer", Nelson and Rollins asked Autry to record their song. His 1950 version was on the Columbia label and peaked at number 3 on the U.S ''Billboard'' Hot Country Singles chart and at number 5 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart. Nelson and Rollins also wrote non-Easter lyrics to the tune that later appeared on the 1963 Walt Disney Records ''Peter Cottontail Plus Other Funny Bunnies and their Friends''. It is often regarded as one of the most popular Easter songs of all time. It is often used for TV commercials around the Easter period. ==Chart performance== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Peter Cottontail (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
