Q: What's the name of the one horse in "Jingle Bells"?
Q: What's the name of the one horse in "Jingle Bells"?
A: Bob. (Bells on Bob's tail ring!)
This joke is a mondegreen (or misunderstanding) of the line "bells on bobtail ring" from the song Jingle Bells. A bobtail is a tail that has been cut short. The original line means either that the bells which are on the horse's bobtail are ringing, or that the bells on the horse that has a bobtail are ringing, or it might instead be a command to the bells to ring.
So, this is funny because the jokester got the line wrong.
