Lions - Bengals Song of the Game: “Grandma Got Run over by a Reindeer” by Elmo & Patsy

Related Topics: Reindeer

I refuse to be hoodwinked into this mess, these “Lions songs of games” and “football reactions” after a terrible game, and I just happen to have a belly of vodka. But Jeremy said it was my turn, and we’re almost done with this miserable game and the season. Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals.

I have a lot of questions about this song, how it came about and why people find it endearing. But moreover, it’s a good song to think about in regards to the Lions. Who, in this case, is grandma? Who is the reindeer?
