"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" is a popular children's Christmas song by Johnny Marks, adapted from Robert Mays' story of the same name. The song tells the story of outcast Rudolph and his glowing nose which allows Santa Claus to see to deliver his toys on a foggy Christmas night. It has been recorded by numerous artists, most famously by Gene Autry in 1949, and was adapted as a long-running television special by Rankin/Bass in 1964. It is frequently sung with the addition of humorous echoes and/or responses to the lines by children. An example of this would be the final line "You'll go down in history!", to which the response might be "like George Washington!"

The character of Rudolph has become so iconic that he was ranked on Animal Planet's 50 Greatest TV Animals, along with Big Bird and Kermit the Frog.
