"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".

In late December 2005, The Black Crowes released a free download
version of this song, complete with a horn section. This track can be
heard in the film Mission: Impossible III.

The Australian band Jet has also covered this song. It is available on
their Japanese-only "Rare Tracks" compilation album.

It was also performed by Bon Jovi and released on the A Very Special
Christmas compilation album produced to benefit the Special Olympics.
For unknown reasons, "Back Door Santa" was replaced on later pressings
of the first "A Very Special Christmas" with the song "I Wish Every
Day Could Be Like Christmas" also performed by Bon Jovi. Bon Jovi
later released the track along with two other Christmas themed songs
on the single for Please Come Home for Christmas

In 2008, Elliott Yamin included a cover of the song in his Christmas
album "My Kind of Hoiday"

The song also appeared on the CBS sitcom "How I Met Your Mother."
