Answer: All of these

The fractured phrase means "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer". The story of Rudolph came about in 1939 during the depression by a copywriter called Robert May, who worked for the retailer Montgomery Ward. He was asked to design a gift for children that the store's Santa could give whilst sitting on his lap each day. Rudolph was a reindeer whose character was based on Robert May himself. May was not a very large man and he was often picked on by his school friends. Robert's young daughter may have even picked the name Rudolph and she gave her dad much feedback as he developed his story. Even though Robert's gift was a poem in rhythmical verse it was later made into a very popular song that is sung quite often at Christmas Time. The words to the song are:

Rudolph the red nosed reindeer, had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw him, you would even say it glows.

All of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names.
They never let poor Rudolph join in any reindeer games.

Then one foggy Christmas Eve Santa came to say:
"Rudolph with your nose so bright, won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"

Then all the reindeer loved him as they shouted out with glee,
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, you'll go down in history.

In 1949 Gene Autry recorded the musical version which was composed by Johnny Marks. The words were slightly different to the original poem.
