I am amazed this album doesn't get more play. "Grandma Got Run over by a Reindeer" became an overnight and permanent classic but Dr. Elmo has been virtually ignored in the grab bag for holiday hits since, and this hysterical collection makes for some hilarious holiday fun. After Grandma died, you see, she went on to spend Christmas somewhere far above us with some greats like Liberace, Elvis et al, in "Grandma's Spending Christmas With the Superstars" - the natural completion for the song the started it all. In the meantime "Grandpa's Gonna Sue the Pants off of Santa" and this tune proves it, mapping out Grandpa's revenge for the accident as well as Santa's legal representative. "Grandma's Killer Fruitcake" simply has to be heard. We've all gotten enough of the stuff and you will hear a few new uses for it in this ditty. "Here's to the Lonely" is woefully out of place in this CD, it is a sad ballad to spending the holiday alone. It threw me off at first, hidden deep in this group of goofiness, but I have grown to love it. And finally...finally...Dr. Elmo has his very own lament, "Don't Make My Play That Grandma Song Again" - funny, catchy, perhaps it mirrors his own thoughts as to why these other songs get no respect. This one is fun. Go get you one.

This album is not bad, but this is NOT the original version of the song. Look for Elmo & Patsy and you'll find the version we all know and love. This is a remade version.

great fun great value can,t wait till next xmas to start playing it again
