One Reindeer to lead them all, One Reindeer to guide them, One Reindeer to bring them all, and in the darkness blind them.

Into this Reindeer he poured his cruelty, his malice, and his will to dominate all life

It always bothers me that the song assumes I know all the other reindeer, but then has to ask if I recall the most famous reindeer of all.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 18 points 11 months ago

It's like if someone assumed you knew all about Joe, Katherine, Rebbie, Jackie and Randy and then they're like "but did you ever hear about this kid MICHAEL Jackson??"

It's especially annoying, because this particular reindeer didn't even actually exist at all until this song.

It's literally saying "this thing I am making up right now is going to be super popular." It's quite the called shot.

For ducks sake:

If it was "for another reindeer was conceived." then the line would rhyme properly and fit into the song.

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

It rhymes, but doesn't fit the meter.

"By the final reindeer conceived" fits better, but changes Rudolph to the deceiver, not Yulish prince.

All the elves have giant, hairy feet.

It began with the forging of the Great Rings.

Three were given to the Elves; immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings.

Seven to the Dwarf Lords, great miners and craftsmen of the mountain halls.

And nine...Nine rings were gifted to the Race of Men, who above all else desire power.

For within these rings was bound the strength and will to govern each race.

But do you recall... The most famous one ring of all

These names sound like a hell of a pansexual orgy.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Pansexual Orgy would, in turn, be a hell of a title for a Christmas album.

Pretty sure it’s an lotr reference

[-] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 4 points 11 months ago

Even so, they could have made it rhyme properly ),:<

There was a Donner... but then there was a very unfortunate party.
