Episode Synopsis
Send us a textThis is the story of the song Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and how it came to be, with some commentary along the way by me. I hope you do not find that distracting. I forgot to mention that when this came out, we kids were a bit upset that the other reindeer were so mean to Rudolph. We expected better of them. But it turns out ok in the end. In case you don't remember all the words, here they are. You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and VixenComet and Cupid and Donner and BlitzenBut do you recallThe most famous reindeer of all?Rudolph the Red-Nosed ReindeerHad a very shiny noseAnd if you ever saw itYou would even say it glowsAll of the other reindeerUsed to laugh and call him namesThey never let poor RudolphJoin in any reindeer gamesThen one foggy Christmas EveSanta came to say"Rudolph, with your nose so brightWon't you guide my sleigh tonight?"Then how the reindeer loved himAs they shouted out with glee"Rudolph the Red-Nosed ReindeerYou'll go down in history"Rudolph the Red-Nosed ReindeerHad a very shiny noseAnd if you ever saw itYou would even say it glowsAll of the other reindeerUsed to laugh and call him namesThey never let poor RudolphJoin in any reindeer gamesThen one foggy Christmas EveSanta came to say"Rudolph, with your nose so brightWon't you guide my sleigh tonight?"Then how the reindeer loved himAs they shouted out with glee"Rudolph the Red-Nosed ReindeerYou'll go down in history"ps.
