[豬篇的話]最令我反感的聖誕歌

聖誕將至,西人電台上差不多二十四小時都不停播放聖誕歌。

有一天收音機傳來一首節奏很輕快的聖誕曲子,不過細心聽聽歌詞又好像有點不對勁。

那首歌的歌詞是這樣的:
Grandma got run over by a reindeer
Walking home from our house Christmas eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.
She'd been drinkin' too much egg nog,
And we'd begged her not to go.
But she'd left her medication,
So she stumbled out the door into the snow.
When they found her Christmas mornin',
At the scene of the attack.
There were hoof prints on her forehead,
And incriminatin' Claus marks on her back.

Grandma got run over by a reindeer,
Walkin' home from our house Christmas eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

Now were all so proud of Grandpa,
He's been takin' this so well.
See him in there watchin' football,
Drinkin' beer and playin' cards with cousin Belle.
It's not Christmas without Grandma.
All the family's dressed in black.

And we just can't help but wonder:
Should we open up her gifts or send them back?

Grandma got run over by a reindeer,
Walkin' home from our house Christmas eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

Now the goose is on the table
And the pudding made of fig.
And a blue and silver candle,
That would just have matched the hair in Grandma'swig.
I've warned all my friends and neighbours.
Better watch out for yourselves."
They should never give a license,
To a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elves.

Grandma got run over by a reindeer,
Walkin' home from our house, Christmas eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

歌詞明明就是說祖母在聖誕前夕被(懷疑是聖誕老人的)馴鹿在街頭撞死,應該是一首很傷心的歌曲。
問過這邊的白人同學,他們也不知道為甚麼這首歌會成為了一首十分流行的開心聖誕歌,就連Wikipedia 也沒有解釋。只知道後來這首歌的內客被借題發揮成為了兒童卡通故事
