The 2000 animated television program "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" portrays the events depicted in the song, though made for children; the cartoon is toned down a bit, so that Grandma survives.

But this time, Oink chose to handle all nationwide product distribution themselves, ending the old NSD-Soundwaves agreement.

That is the easiest way (aside from listening to the 45 itself) to differentiate between the original, 1979 Oink #2984 recording and its now-much-more familiar, 1982 re-recording. An entire LP, named after their hit song, was also recorded in 1982, and was initially released as Oink #8223.
