I don't know the original story, but just the song alone when I hear it now bugs me when I hear the lines "wouldn't let him join in all the reindeer games" and later "then how the reindeer loved him!" Grrrrr! I do love the melody and have warm and fuzzy memories of the tv show (just watched it again recently), but I almost always think when I hear the song, "Then? Then all the reindeer loved him? WTF? Where were you before he led the f'n sleigh for Santa, bitches!"
