Grandma Got Run Over by a Reinsdorf
Apologies to Dr. Elmo — although as a central Florida resident, he might secretly have approved of Jerry Reinsdorf’s dastardly plan to steal the White Sox off to St. Pete.Back in my country DJ days, December always brought many requests for Christmas songs. However, there was one that was requested far, far more than any other. Calls for “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer” were so dominant that I had to refuse to play it more than once a week. Even at that, it has been carved into my poor mind for decades. So, here is a tribute to Elmo and Patsy’s only hit, one that has probably made them billionaires by now. Feel free to sing along.
