Reindeer Crossing

It's not very common that a comedy song itself gets parodied, but that's just what happened to "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer". In 1997, Cledus T. Judd, country music's answer to Weird Al Yankovic, decided to switch up the Christmas classic by swapping the gender of the protagonist, and making a lawn mower the source of accident. Thus, "Grandpa Got Runned Over By A John Deere" was born.

Below are the download links of the original and the parody. Grandma comes from the Billboard's Greatest Christmas Hits: 1955-Present album, while Grandpa comes from Cludus' album I Stoled This Record.
