Rudolph was written in 1939 as an advertising gimmick for the Montgomery Ward department store. It was intended to be a promotional give-away book, but the tale quickly became popular. In 1947, the author, Robert L. May, bought the copyright from the department store and began to market Rudolph. The song was recorded in 1949 by Gene Autry, and the rest is history. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer was written in 1949 by U.S. songwriter Johnny Marks. He took the idea from a verse written in 1939 by his brother-in-law, Robert L. May.

When was Rudolph created?

It was broadcast for the first time in 1964. It was slightly modified in 1965, because the producers didn't show Santa stopping at the Island of Misfit Toys to pick them up, and a massive write-in campaign (of watchers taken with the adorable Misfit Toys) prompted them to add the scene when Santa comes to pick them up.

You know Dasher, and Dancer, and Prancer, and Vixen.

Comit, and Cupid, and Donner, and Blitzen but do you

recall the most famous reindeer of all?

Rudolph the red nose reindeer,

had a very shiny nose, (Like A Lightbulb)

and if you ever saw it,

you would even say it glowed. (Like A Disco Ball)

All of the other reindeer,

used to laugh and call him names. (Like Pinocchio)

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 all the reindeer loved him,

as they shouted out with glee:

"Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer,

you'll go down in history!" (Like George Washington)

Asked by Wiki User

It looks like the handles are of different lengths; though it could be the angles of the shots, it does look like the left one (as you're riding) is longer than the right. Not so misfit to me; just take a saw, some sand paper, and paint to it and...voila! Fit!
