this is crazy i've had bad hair day for 15 years and i have never heard this version. i almost don't like it, but i still do. just way to used to the album version.
When my kids start getting curious as to why Santa never shows up when they camp out in front of the fireplace all night on Christmas Eve, instead of giving them the old "There's no such thing as Santa" speech, I'm gonna play them this song >:D
and he slashed out Dasher just like Freddy Krueger, then he picked up a flame-thrower and barbequed BLitzen, he took a big bite and said it tastes just like chicken. most amazing verse in any christmas song ever
yes virginia now santa claus is dead. some guy from the swat team blew a hole thru his head. yes little friend now thats his brains on the floor now they aint got no fat guy to kick around any more. but theres no more presents for the childrens enjoyment and the elves had to stand in line for, UNEMPLOYMENT!
actually, it i a style parody... in the vein of "Black Gold" by Soul Asylum
""The Night Santa Went Crazy" is an original song by "Weird Al" Yankovic. The song is a style parody of several songs: "I Believe in Father Christmas" by Greg Lake (from which much of the melody is derived), "Mama, I'm Coming Home" by Ozzy Osbourne, and "Black Gold" by Soul Asylum."

To be honest, I like the final version better than this one because the final version feels more cynical.
Also, I love that unemployment counts as gore. :P

The argument's been made that it's a style parody of Soul Asylum's "Black Gold", but Al's never confirmed it.
