I have an original recording done prior to 1958 when it was released by Mr Berry. Stolen and sold by his brother to someone in Nashville.

Out of all the reindeers you know you're the mastermind In the unmistakable intro, Berry sings a warning to Rudolph about another reindeer that's hot on his heels:
