Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
Crystals Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it glows

All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games

Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say
"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

Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say
"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

Overall Meaning

The classic Christmas song "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" tells the story of a reindeer with a bright red, glowing nose who is mocked and excluded by his peers, the other reindeer, for being different. However, when a foggy Christmas Eve threatens Santa's annual sleigh ride, Rudolph is called upon to guide the way with his shining nose. Suddenly, the other reindeer find themselves looking up to Rudolph and cheering his name, praising the qualities they once ridiculed. The song ultimately celebrates the power of individuality and self-confidence.

There is nothing like the Phil Spector Christmas Album and all its hit performances. This is the album by which all Christmas albums past and present should be measured by.

Uri~ It really is great. :)

Holger Rune Fan

Hal Blaine and the entire Wrecking Crew don't get the plaudits they deserve. All amazing musicians!

Philip Collins

Bless you for mentioning him. Exceptional drummer whose list of songs boggles my mind to this day.

Listen to this magnificent masterpiece of a song for the first time on 23/12/2020, absolutely loved it. GOD BLESS YOU.

James Williams

Beautiful - Gene Autrys version sounds ancient - like an old gramophone record - this is way superior

This sounds more like a sensory overload than a Christmas song.
