Rudolph Question

[ddi741]

So this comes up between H & I every year during Christmas time.  I'm curious to get other people's comments.
I don't think there is any right or wrong answer, I'm just curious.

When signing Rudolph the red nosed reindeer, if you sing it with the 'echo' at the end of most lines, what do you sing for these 2 lines.

1. All of the other reindeer, used to laugh & call  him names (like _________)
2. They never let poor rudolph, join in any reindeer games (like __________)




H learned it as

1. Like pinocchio
2. Like monopoly

I learned it as

1. Like stupid
2. Like football

Like your H. I never heard the way you learned it before.

Like your H

This is so intersting, I've sang it the same way since elementary school. Curious to see if there are any other versions floating around.

[lillaguma]

I sang it just like your husband.

[statlerwaldorf]

I've only heard it like your h.

I sang it like you.

I can see why someone would want to say something other that stupid. Saying Monopoly instead of Football seems really weird to me though... I've never heard that. I'm going to ask a coworker what she sang.

Your husband's way.

The only time I heard something different was in the last line ("You'll go down in history") ... my classmates would sing, "Like George Washington!" and The Simpsons version was, "Like Attila the Hun!"

[jinkies]

We always sang "like Dumbo" and "like football", although I've heard "like monopoly".

[konapoppy]

Your husband's way!

[readyin07]

Lol. Like your H. My grandad used to sing an "off color" version that went "Rudolph the red nose reindeer had a little drink or two..." I never knew if it was a popular version or not i would love to know the rest bc I can't remember it

[lishie]

My school sang pinocchio and football, so a combination of the two you both knew.

I've heard the Dumbo version too.  Never your Hs though.

H #1, for sure.   Never heard any of the others.

ETA:  What I'm remembering is "like Pinnochio" after "call him names" and "like the Beatles" after "you'll go down in history"

[sicilygirl]

I sing it like your H. And after "history", I think I say "like Columbus".

MINE too!! I was waiting to see if someone else did that.

Pinocchio makes sense because its his nose. I don't know why you would call Rudolph stupid.

Pinocchio and Monopoly, but like George Washington after you'll go down in history.

[sarahbear]

[hellonurse]

Yup, Pinocchio, Monopoly, and GW. We also said "like toothpaste" after "shouted out with glee."

I've only ever learned the Pinocchio part. Never anything after "games" or any other versions.
