Anyone want to play a little Christmas trivia?

*aimeee* · Dec 19, 2002 02:16 PM

I'll start with a few questions, all connected with our favorite reindeer:

In the animated Rudolph Christmas special (you know, the one with Burl Ives the Snowman narrating) what was the name of the king of the Island of Misfit Toys?

Who wrote the song Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer?

Who sang Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer in the recording that rocketed it to fame?

What was original "purpose" of the Rudolph story?

Feel free to answer these and/or pose your own Christmas trivia questions.

I don't know the first ones. but i think the purpose of it has something to do with being different is a good thing.

I was all set to say Burl Ives sang the song, but he sang Frosty the Snowman. They all blend in after awhile. :chuckle

King Moonraiser

Johnny Marks was the author, it was originally a poem

Burl Ives I think?

It's o.k. to be different. Everybody has something to offer. Follow your dreams.

I love Rudolph. Me and my son watch it every year. It's a tradition for the two of us.

Gene Autry (the singing cowboy) did the recording that became famous.

He also owned the Calfornia Angels (later the Anahiem Angels)baseball team.

Robert Mays wrote the story about Rudolph the Red nosed Reindeer. Johnny Marks composed the music and in 1939, Gene Autry sang it and made it what it is today

Yes, you folks have gotten all the answers so far. Michele's excellent link above tells the whole story of how Rudolph came to be.

Now let's see if we can all remember the words to everyone's favorite Christmas poem. No fair using a search engine!
