The Jackson 5 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Comet and Cupid, Donner and Blitzen
But do you recall the most famous reindeer of all?
Hey Rudolph
Wo-hoah, Rudolph
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it glowed
All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games
Oh, then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say (hey Rudolph)
Rudolph, with your nose so bright
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight
Then how the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
You'll go down in history
You'll go down in history
Hey Rudolph
Oh, then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say (hey Rudolph)
Rudolph, with your nose so bright
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight
Then how the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
You'll go down in history
You'll go down in, you'll go down in history
Hey Rudolph
Wo-hoah
Red-Nosed Reindeer
Talking about Rudolph
Wo-hoah, Rudolph
The lyrics to The Jackson 5's "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer" are a playful and joyful rendition of the classic Christmas song. The song begins with a list of Santa's reindeer, including Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, and Blitzen. However, the most significant reindeer of them all is Rudolph, who is subsequently introduced as having a very shiny red nose that glows. The next verse reveals that all of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names and never let him join in any reindeer games, which highlights Rudolph's exclusion from his peers.
The song's climax is at a pivotal moment on one foggy Christmas Eve when Santa arrives and calls Rudolph by name, asking him to guide his sleigh. The other reindeer shout with glee, realizing the importance of Rudolph's ability to lead the sleigh. The final chorus declares that Rudolph will go down in history. This song is a poignant reminder of the importance of inclusion and the value of one's unique qualities.
