Hi forum friends. Decided to post my stab at a humorous Christmas song. Unfortunately, I'm not very good at singing or mixing those Bob Seger type rockers. Hope you enjoy the tune anyway! Take care all. Greg https://soundcloud.com/gjohnson-2/rudolfs-butt-2Rudolf's Butt I got a shelf full of trohies for champion of the reindeer games I got a sterling reputation, no need for droppin names But Dasher is my uncle on my mother's side And Blitzen is my dad I got as good a pedigree as a reindeer ever had I've made the cut every Christmas eve since I was five years old I can hang at any altitude, never squawk about the cold You could ask what this has gotten me, what is my reward? Well, Lemme just tell you what One long-[*****] flight just starin' at Rudolf's butt The old man got so paranoid one foggy Christmas eve Ever since that night the whole trip blows Rudolf's rise to stardom's almost too much to believe Hero status, for that lame, defective nose I used to love to see the stars laid out, and gaze upon those Northern Lights But the trip is now less glamorous with less dramatic sights It somehow takes the magic from the whole affair The thrill of speedin' 'long through space To see that reindeer's backside near the front side of my face I told the old man get some flashlights, we can strap them on to the sleigh Give us all the light were ever gonna need to find our way We can dump that loser reindeer who barely learned to fly We'll have everything we need Lose the dead weight and get this outfit up to speed But it seems that Santa's took a shine to Rudolf's shiny nose So I guess I will remain stuck in this rut For the sake of boys and girls who's toys depend on us Guess I will get use To takin' this abuse Get beyond the point of carin' That I'll be spendin' my life starin' At Rudolf's butt

What a humorous unique Christmas song... You did an excellent job on this one... How many times did you have to edit the vocals... To remove you giggles  ? Man... You've got a powerful pleasing voice... I really enjoyed the listen!

Very funny song, Greg! Sounds like Brian Wilson wrote a very comical Christmas song. (And I mean that as a big compliment!)
Great job!

Greg,
Some great lines there; I could visualise an SNL type skit to go with the laughs.
Don`t want to think about the punchline too long!

This is the most original idea for a Christmas song. It's about time something revealed the truth behind all this Rudolf propaganda.

Greg,
The lyrics are outstanding—really clever lines from start to finish. From a production perspective, to me it reels the song is moving a bit too slow given it's vibe . . . I'd consider upping tempo, which I also think would push you to give the vocal (which is solid as is) a bit more edge and grittiness, which, again to me, seems more fitting given the singer’s perspective. Just a thought to take with a huge grain of salt . . . or coal (given the season)?
Hope all is well with you,
Deej

That's a mighty fine write. Clever doesn't even say half enough. And, as always, your golden voice sounds excellent. Fun listen!

You have really found a new angle on Christmas songs Although an angle I don't want to be positioned at  funny song about justified grudge, although I would like to hear Santa's point of view also Anyway, good light rocking tune mixed and sung well. Janne

Great job!
Steve
That!!! Hey is "So I guess I will remain stuck in this rut" a pun? Us folks who live in a forest (we do not hunt) certainly understand the deer rut season You never cease to amaze Greg and this is no exception. BIG time fun and as always the production (all aspects) is flawless. Thanks the levity!!! J&B
