She was definitely profoundly ill-suited to cover the song, but not because of her age (she'd been singing somebody done somebody wrong songs for a couple of years at that point) or her genre (female country artists have been embracing sexual innuendo since at least the '60s). It's not a good style of song for her, specifically, and she's never been good at covers anyway. She's a talented singer-songwriter, but she doesn't do well with other people's words.

I agree if we're talking about commercial covers. OTOH, I really love some of her live covers. Off the top of my head I love at least four that she's done.

Nashville by David Mead

Nashville in particular is absolutely phenomenal. Riptide is the shakiest of the bunch due to weak vocals, but the feeling in it is great regardless.

It's just a song that doesn't fit her emotional range at all. She can do ingénue, and later in her career she's developed the ability to do sort of ice-queen man-eater, but neither of those works for Santa Baby.
