Link: Law.com - Novelty Song About Reindeer-Trod Grandmother Leads to Multimillion-Dollar Lawsuit.
You all know the song, "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer". In fact, the mere mention of the title probably has you humming or singing it to yourself right now. Elmo Shropshire, who sang the song, claims to own the copyright, and is being sued for allegedly interfering in a deal to make novelty toys with the Grandma/Reindeer theme. Fellow lawyers...colleagues... I beg you. Please don't sue Santa Claus next. Our rep has taken enough of a beating this year.
