Because, you know, he'll save children, but not the British children. (Fair warning: some people might find this video offensive.)
What do you exclaim when you sing Rudolph? This is how I sing it, and John took issue with some of my exclamations.
Rudolph the red nosed reindeer (reindeer)
Had a very shiny nose (like a light bulb)
And if you ever saw it (saw it)
You would even say it glows (like a flash light)
All of the other reindeer (reindeer)
Used to laugh and call him names (like Pinocchio)
They never let poor Rudolph (Rudolph)
Join in any reindeer games (like Monopoly)
Then one foggy Christmas eve
Santa came to say (ho ho ho)
Rudolph with your nose so bright
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight
Then how the reindeer loved him (loved him)
As they shouted out with glee (yippee)
Rudolph the red nosed reindeer (reindeer)
You'll go down in history (like George Washington)

That must be the Southern version of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. Clark and I have never heard of those comments at the end of each line.
Southern? John tried to explain the differences between my version and his version by accusing me of singing the Yankee Rudolph!
I joked it was more likely Texan since I started school there. Perhaps I should reexamine that explanation...
Santa didn't have reindeer when I was growing up. His sled was pulled by 3 huskies and 3 large cats. Mgram
Sarah, I don't know what John is talking about. Those are the words we always sang growing up (at least I did!). I think he just wants to be right. :)
Sarah, Mary Scott is right, John doesn't know what he's talking about. Those were the words we sang growing up--and still do sing! Tell him he's wrong. HAHA!!!!
