"Old 12-22-2011

"Glows (like a Glow-worm)

Reindeer (like Blitzen)

Names (like Pinocchio)

Games (like Monopoly)

History (like Napoleon)"

 

I think The GW/Columbus versions didn't make it across the Atlantic."

"GW" = George Washington

"I'm so happy to find somewhere people also added "LIKE THE TOOTHPASTE"! I sang this version now as an adult a few years back with my children. My husband swears I'm insane. Now I have proof!

 

I grew up in the 80s near Chicago"

Rudolph the red nosed reindeer add-on lyrics by SpiritDragon

December 16, 2015 in General Discussion

"Hey guys I`m interested in broadening my horizons even more...

In Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer Song I`ve heard a variety of different add-ons echoed at the end of lines over the years. Certainly some are more common than others, I`m curious what renditions you`ve heard and prefer.

Rudolph the red nosed reindeer (sometimes echoed reindeer)

Had a very shiny nose (Sometimes like a light bulb follows here or line 4 or both) (also heard flashlight)

and if you ever saw it (echo saw it)

you would even say it glows (see line 2)

All of the other reindeer (echo)

used to laugh and call him names (most commonly pinocchio for some reason, but I`ve heard others)

they never let poor Rudolph (echo)

Join in any Reindeer games (most commonly Monopoly, I`ve also heard parcheesy and poker)

Then one foggy Christmas eve

Santa came to say (Ho Ho Ho)

Rudolph with your nose so bright

won`t you guide my sleigh tonight

Then all the reindeer loved him

and they shouted out with glee (Yippie)

Rudolph the red nosed reindeer

you`ll go down in history (like Washington, Columbus and most recently Charlie Brown - I`d never heard that one before this year that I can remember)

 

The other night at a staff party everyone was singing Rudolph impromptu and all used the same add-ons magically - My wife claimed they were the only ones she`s ever heard and thinks I`m crazy for thinking there are different versions. I think it must be somewhat regional - Is there an "authorized" version that standardizes the bonus lyrics that any one is aware of? Any ideas on the source of these echoing words?

[…]

What words have you heard echoed? Do you have preferences?

Any idea on the sources and a standardized version?"

"If I remember rightly, the Simpsons' "add-ons" were:

 ...say It glowed (Bart: "Like a Light Bulb!" Homer: "Bart!!")

 ...reindeer games (Bart: "Like Strip Poker!" Homer: "I'm warning you!")

 ...Santa came to say (Marge: "Take it away Homie!" Homer (sings solo): "Rudolph get your nose over here, so you can guide my sleigh to...er...day" Patty and Selma: "Groan!")

 ...down in history (Bart: "Like Attila the Hu.....uuuugh". Homer starts strangling him.)

 

My daughter and I always sing "Attila the Hun" at the end, though my wife always tries to drown us out with "George Washington".

(I think "Attila the Hun" scans better)"

Where as we prefer to sing "like a light bulb" after every verse.

 
In my house, Daddy sings "like a light bulb" after every verse, and the family gets more and more upset until violence erupts. No really - I'm the victim here.  Pillows have sharp corners"

"I’ve heard this version:

 

Rudolph the red nosed reindeer (reindeer)

had a very shiny nose (like a light bulb)

and if you ever saw him (saw him)

you would even say it glows (like a flash light)

all the other reindeer (reindeer)

would laugh and call him names (like Pinocchio)

they never let poor Rudolph (Rudolph)

join in any reindeer games (like monopoly)

then one foggy Christmas Eve

Santa came to say (in his underwear)

Rudolph won’t you guide my sleigh tonight

then how the reindeer loved him (loved him)

as they shouted out with glee (yippee)

Rudolph the Red Nosed Riendeer

You’ll go done in history (like Michael Bublé)"
