question: Hvem skrev sangen grandma got run over by a reindeer?
answers.text: Randy Brooks
context: "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" er en nyhedssang til jul. Sangen er skrevet af Randy Brooks og blev oprindeligt opført af ægteparret Elmo og Patsy Trigg Shropshire i 1979. I teksten fortæller en bedstemor, at hun bliver beruset af spidskog til en familiefest juleaften, og at hun, efter at have glemt at tage sin medicin og på trods af bønner og advarsler fra sin familie, vakler udenfor i en snestorm. På sin vej hjem bliver hun trampet ihjel af julemanden og hans rensdyrtrækkede slæde. Andet og tredje vers beskriver den næste dags julesammenkomst, hvor "hele familien er klædt i sort (som sorg)", og der spørges, om bedstemors gaver overhovedet skal åbnes eller om de skal sendes tilbage næste dag med henblik på eventuel refusion eller ombytning (det kollektive svar på dette spørgsmål er et højlydt "Send dem tilbage!"), mens den enkemandede "bedstefar" opfører sig afslappet, som om intet er sket, drikker øl, ser fodbold og spiller kort med "fætter Mel". Sangen slutter med en advarsel om, at julemanden, "en mand, der kører slæde og leger med nisser", er uegnet til at tage kørekort, og at lytterne skal være på vagt.

context_en: "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" is a novelty Christmas song. Written by Randy Brooks, the song was originally performed by the husband-and-wife duo of Elmo and Patsy Trigg Shropshire in 1979. In the lyrics, a grandmother gets drunk on spiked eggnog at a family Christmas Eve party and, having forgotten to take her medication and despite pleas and warnings from her family, staggers outside into a snowstorm. While on her walk home, she is trampled to death by Santa Claus and his reindeer pulled sleigh. The second and third verses describe the next day's Christmas gathering where "all the family's dressed in black (for mourning)" and the question is asked as to whether Grandma's gifts should be opened at all or sent back the next day for possible refunds or exchanges (the collective answer to that question is a loud "Send them back!"), while the widowered "Grandpa" acts casual like nothing's happened, drinks beer, watches football and plays cards with "cousin Mel". The song closes with a warning that Santa, "a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elves", is unfit for a driver's license, and that the listeners should beware.
