The Night Santa Went Crazy GudangMovies21 Rebahinxxi LK21
"The Night Santa Went Crazy" is an original song performed by "Weird Al" Yankovic. The black comedy Christmas song is performed as a pastiche of "Black Gold" by Soul Asylum. It has melodic references to "Black Gold", "Mama, I'm Coming Home" by Ozzy Osbourne, and "I Believe in Father Christmas" by Greg Lake.
It is the twelfth and final track on the album Bad Hair Day, released as a single during the 1996 Christmas season. The "extra gory" version of the song appears on the compilation album The Essential "Weird Al" Yankovic. Both albums have received positive critical reviews.
Lyrics
The song starts with Santa's elves making Christmas presents for good, "Gentile" children. Suddenly, a drunken Santa bursts in with a rifle in his hand, and covered with ammunition "like a big, fat, drunk, disgruntled Yuletide Rambo". He says, "Merry Christmas to all, now you're all gonna die!" He proceeds to destroy half of the North Pole, hold the elves and helpers hostage, and kill most of his reindeer in various graphic, sadistic ways. The National Guard and FBI come to restore order.
The song's epilogue has two different versions, with one version being called the "Extra Gory Version". In the original epilogue, the singer explains to Virginia that Santa was arrested and locked up in a federal prison, with the possibility of release for good behavior in 700 years, Meanwhile, the two surviving reindeer, Vixen and Donner, are coping with post-traumatic stress disorder, the elves get jobs working for the postal service, and Mrs. Claus negotiates film rights for the incident. In the Extra Gory Version of the song, it is instead stated that Santa is killed by a SWAT officer, and with Christmas having effectively been ended altogether, the elves file for unemployment benefits. The singer surmises that Santa Claus had grown tired of only receiving milk and cookies for his work, concluded he was getting "gypped", and went postal because of it.
Release
"The Night Santa Went Crazy" was released as the third and final single from Bad Hair Day on November 26, 1996; the CD single features "The Night Santa Went Crazy" and "Christmas at Ground Zero", another holiday-themed song from Yankovic's 1986 album Polka Party!. The cover art displays the original drawing of Santa Claus by Mark Osborne that inspired Yankovic to write the song. Though the single did not chart upon original release, it later peaked at number 35 on the United States Billboard Holiday Digital Tracks chart in 2010.
An "extra gory" version of the song was included as the third track on the "Amish Paradise" single. In this version, Vixen and Donner are not mentioned (leaving their fate ambiguous), Santa is killed by a member of the SWAT team, and the elves file for unemployment benefits. Another rendition combining elements of the album and the "extra gory" versions was written for Yankovic's Touring with Scissors tour in 1999; it is featured on the "Weird Al" Yankovic Live! video album. He later performed "The Night Santa Went Crazy" on the television variety show Penn & Teller's Sin City Spectacular.
The "Extra Gory" version is on the compilation album The Essential "Weird Al" Yankovic, and on the album Medium Rarities.

Aug 11, 2016 · Well it randomly played "The Night Santa Went Crazy" and when it got to about the 3:15-3:30 mark I immediately noticed the lyrics were different in this point of the song.

Soul Asylum's "Black Gold" came on the radio. Thought it was
Jan 9, 2023 · I pretty much memorized the whole thing instantly, but I always thought "The Night Santa Went Crazy" was just a sort of carol/general Christmas music style (maybe I skipped that entry was ostensibly pretty obvious?). Never made the Soul Asylum connection until now! Guess I gotta do another deep dive on Al's Wikipedia. Lol.
Which version of “The Night Santa Went Crazy” do you think
Aug 27, 2023 · I like how in the third verse it has the part about Santa dying (never thought I would say that) but it also keeps the lyric about Vixen and Donder giving mention to all 9 reindeer.

Night when Santa Went Crazy. We used to play Weird Al a lot when my daughter was young. One, she was about 5, and this song was playing, in loud exaggerated voice, she sings “ And they’re all gonna die!!!!” It scared the shit out of my wife and me. She never sang to the songs before and she chose that line. Sheesh.
