Biography

Elmo Earl Shropshire (born October 26, 1936) is an American veterinarian, competitive runner, and country music singer. Shropshire, who typically performs under the name "Dr. Elmo", is best known for his Christmas novelty song "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer". He originally recorded the song in 1979 with his then-wife Patsy, then re-recorded it solo for the 1992 album Dr. Elmo's Twisted Christmas and again in 2000 for the album Up Your Chimney. He also has recorded other songs, released on albums including Dr. Elmo's Twisted Tunes (1993) and Love, Death & Taxes (2000).
