"Rolling Home" is a Christmas-themed song by Swedish band Rednex, released in December 1995 by Jive Records as the last single from the band's debut album, Sex & Violins (1995). The song is written by Jan Ericsson and Lizette von Panajott, and produced by Michael B. Tretow. Lead vocals are performed by Annika Ljungberg. It was a top 20 hit in Austria (18), a top 40 hit in the band's native Sweden (32) and a top 50 hit in Germany (42). The music video for "Rolling Home" was shot in black-and-white, featuring the band performing the song in a winter-landscape.
Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "Legendary ABBA producer Tretow has turned this Dolly Parton-like album track into a splashing Christmas song with a great abundance of sleighbells, drums and choir boys. Note the unexpected twist at the end. This one is sure to break some borders in December."[1]
