My DVD doesn't have that song. It has some scenes I don't remember from broadcast TV, and includes some of the shots that should go with that song (like walking across the log), but the song itself is missing.
share"Fame and Fortune" was added in a 1965 edit, because the powers that be didn't want a reprise of "We're a Couple of Misfits". The original of course had Hermy singing it, and then a duet. Fame and Fortune changed things up a little. Purists don't recognize the edit tho.
shareThank you! I appreciate the reply. I'll never get used to it being missing; I thought it was a really cute song.
shareIt's interesting you should mention that. In the 80s, when my parents had HBO, VCR's, and blank video tapes, they took advantage of many movies being broadcast with little to no commercials, and Rudolph was one of them at the time. So I grew up with the version of Rudolph that had the "Fame and Fortune" song with Rudolph and Hermey.
Now just a few years ago, we got the DVD of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," and I was surprised to hear a reprise of "We're a Couple of Misfits" in that spot of the story instead of "Fame and Fortune." Curious, dad and I watched the special features, and it was there instead.
Check the special features on your DVD, if it's the same one I'm thinking of.
I don't remember ever seeing that in any version I have watched.
