For the 25 days leading into Christmas, Brett Inc. is talking music. Christmas music. Sit back and enjoy.

Grandma got over by a Reindeer was recorded during the early 1980s when novelty songs and novelty phone recordings were all the rage. Old woman hated the song despite the catchy beat. Something about offensive lyrics.

Inexplicably , this song was later turned into an animated holiday special about 20 years after the original recording. That is a head scratcher. Also, this was recorded by a guy named Dr. Elmo, who has nothing to with the little red Sesame Street character.
