Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer - Elmo & Patsy - MP3 instrumental karaoke

In this darkly humorous festive fable, grandma imbibes too much eggnog, forgets her medication, and has a calamitous run-in with Santa's sleigh as a result. "When we found her Christmas mornin' / At the scene of the attack / She had hoof prints on her forehead / And incriminatin' hoof marks on her back", sing Elmo & Patsy on “Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer." Songwriter Randy Brooks was inspired to write the "Jingle Bells"-spiced song after his grandmother left him out of her will. It was recorded by the then–husband–and–wife duo of Elmo Shropshire and Patsy Trigg in 1978, released in 1979 and has since become a renegade festive faithful for anyone in need of something other than the season's traditionally sentimental fare. “Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer" has also been reworked and parodied by a sleigh-load of artists, from The Irish Rovers to ska disciples Reel Big Fish and Less Than Jake.
