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, "Yippee!"
"Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
you'll go down in history."
Well Rudolph he didn't go for that.
He said "I see through your silly games,"
How could you look me in the face
when only yesterday you called me names?
Well all of the other reindeers man,
well they sure did feel ashamed,
"Rudolph you know we're sorry,
we're truly gonna try to change"
Now, I'm not a big fan of Jack Johnson, but I gotta say big kudos to him cause...damn. this is quite the good song. I never thought it was right that the other reindeers were teasing him and then suddenly, oh just cause they need him now they were nice to him. That's ultra lame, they're totally just using him! He shoulda said, "well you should have thought of that before you called me names....turds..." and walked away. Or he coulda taped flash lights to their noses and made them walk around like idiots. But he was a morally right reindeer, so he did the right thing, but those others were so superficial (like middle schoolers), only nice when they need you and insulting those who aren't the same...oh how many of those "reindeers" are out there...Quite actually now thinking about it, it teaches such a horrible lesson, that if you're a freak and no one needs you, you're just a huge freak, but if the in-crowd needs you, suddenly you're unique and special. "you'll go down in history" ....as the sucker who gave into the popular crowd...
So there's my rant for the day, I think this version should be taught in schools and sung in Christmas concerts, it'd give them something else to think about.
Here's just a fun new carol :D from Ben Folds :)
Ho ho ho!
Play it Grandpa.
(Yeah, play it!)
Let's tell them a little story
about what happened this Christmas.
(Yeah, tell them!)
Christmas Eve
I didn't get much sleep
I kept hearing things,
heavy breathing from the chimney...
who could it be?
(I'll tell you what it was...)
(What happened then, Ben?)
(Yeah, what happened?)
Well, I went back to sleep...
(You went back to sleep?!)
(S@#$!)
Tired man, went back to sleep.
and in the morning
I couldn't believe my eyes
a whale of a corpse with a long, white beard
was dangling over the fire
(ha ha ha!)
oh, Santa, he's a big, fat f*&%
went down the chimney, got his fat ass stuck
oh, honey call the lawyers fast,
'cause Mrs. Claus is gonna sue my ass
hey, hey, hey!
(hey!)
Okay Grandpa, step up.
Sing in this thing right here.
Tell them what you saw,
tell them what you saw, Grandpa!
I gotta tell you folks
he wasn't wearing no clothes
(No clothes?!)
he must have rubbed a whole gallon of Crisco
from his back, down to his toes
while I was talking to the cops outside,
the dog was lickin' Crisco off of his thighs
they hauled him away in a double-wide
what a sad, sad way to die
Santa, he's a big, fat f*&%
went down the chimney, got his fat ass stuck
oh, honey call the lawyers fast,
Mrs. Claus is gonna sue our ass
