Why did they change the song in the classic Rudolf where Rudolf meets Hermy the !


Question: In the original version, after they meet, they sing "fame and fortune", but it has been changed to "we're a couple of misfits". Also, I asked this last year and am still trying to get a good answer. What is wrong with the doll on Misfit Island?

Actually "we're a couple of misfits" is the original number, and "fame and fortune" is the alternate version used in later showings. As for the doll on misfit island, here is a quote from a book on the making of this film:

As far as the Misfit Girl doll goes, in my book Arthur Rankin jokes about her problem being...................... psychological! The fact of the matter is, she is barely mentioned in Romeo's scripts. He describes the important charcters in GREAT detail and the Misfit Girl doll wasn't even in the original 10-63 draft at all! Charlie is the only Misfit with lines, even in the revised script. The spotted Elephant and The Misfit Girl doll got a few extra lines in 1965 at the end when the return to the Island Of Misfit Toys was added in due to public response. She became a more important character in the second broadcast, but was not fully developed in the script....hence the mystery! I accept Arthur's explanation since he is the RANKIN in RANKIN/BASS and Produced the entire production.

I always remember Were a Couple of Misfits since I was a kid watching it in the 70s. I don't even know the song Fame and Fortune. I even have the record from the show from when I was a kid and that song is not on it. Hmmm... what were you watching?
