Wierd Al!?! Yes, I am sure many of you are surprised that I would go to the level of clever musical parodies. Well, I just saw Bruno tonight where I was both grossed out and put in stitches so I have decided to devote this song of the day to gross musical comedy. But, come one who does not like some Wierd Al. My favorite has always been “The Night Santa Went Crazy,” mainly because the lyrics are hilarious. Yet, behind the comical lyric there also is a song. A song that Wierd Al adopted from three different songs. What people generally miss is the talent of Wierd Al. Just because the music is funny does not mean it is not good. The song is actually quite creative
“The Night Santa Went Crazy,” takes portions of a Greg Lake song, an Ozzy Osbourne song, and a Soul Asylum song. It merges these very different songs together in order to create a song where Santa Claus snaps and massacres his reindeer and his elves. The song ends with the elves working at the post office and Mrs. Claus negotiating a movie deal.
