Into this Reindeer he poured his cruelty, his malice, and his will to dominate all life
It always bothers me that the song assumes I know all the other reindeer, but then has to ask if I recall the most famous reindeer of all.
It's like if someone assumed you knew all about Joe, Katherine, Rebbie, Jackie and Randy and then they're like "but did you ever hear about this kid MICHAEL Jackson??"
It's especially annoying, because this particular reindeer didn't even actually exist at all until this song.
It's literally saying "this thing I am making up right now is going to be super popular." It's quite the called shot.
For ducks sake:
If it was "for another reindeer was conceived." then the line would rhyme properly and fit into the song.
It rhymes, but doesn't fit the meter.
"By the final reindeer conceived" fits better, but changes Rudolph to the deceiver, not Yulish prince.
All the elves have giant, hairy feet.
What about second Christmas?
Two turtledoves.
It began with the forging of the Great Rings.
Three were given to the Elves; immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings.
Seven to the Dwarf Lords, great miners and craftsmen of the mountain halls.
And nine...Nine rings were gifted to the Race of Men, who above all else desire power.
For within these rings was bound the strength and will to govern each race.
But do you recall... The most famous one ring of all
These names sound like a hell of a pansexual orgy.
Pansexual Orgy would, in turn, be a hell of a title for a Christmas album.
Count me in
One to pull them all
What's a rhyme scheme?
Po-tay-toes. Boil em mash em stick em in a stew.
Pretty sure it’s an lotr reference
Even so, they could have made it rhyme properly ),:<
It’s Donder not Donner
There was a Donner... but then there was a very unfortunate party.
