One of the suplementatary songs was misidentified as The Little Drummer

No, the original Gene Autry version starts out:
"You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixon, Cupid and Comet
and Donder and Blitzen"....."But do you recall, the most famous
reindeer of all?" ..... then starts "Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer" ...
