Actually I think I was drinking Rum 'n' egg nogs when I wrote the song. BTW, a few years later I wanted to do a comix story based on that song. Adolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer had an angry look and a small brush moustache. And the other reindeer were named Herman, Heinrich, Reinhard, etc.. Anyway, to make a long story short, the comix story was also so sick that the cartoonist refused to draw it on moral grounds. I was so proud of him for not drawing my sick story. SNIFF!
