Christmas song #6

Of all the Christmas songs that Eric plays a bunch during the season, I am somehow always happy to hear this one. I don't even actually like the song "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer." I used to love it as a kid and then when I heard/sang it for the 6,000th time, I officially had had enough. I broke up with the song. But there is nothing I can think of that can be done better than the Temptations do it. They touch something and it transcends all logic and reason. When I hear this song, I uncontrollably do the head/shoulders/grooving thing and sing along about Rudolph like there will never be another real life mammal like him. Ever. I must toast the temptations for reuniting me with an old flame.
