Generally speaking, "Weird Al" Yankovic's parody songs are pretty tame. There's no swearing in them and the subject matter skews PG. So it's odd that two of the very few songs in his catalog that are considered "dark" are both Christmas songs. The first, "Christmas at Ground Zero," is a style parody of traditional Christmas songs, wherein Mr. Yankovic elaborates on holiday celebrations amid imminent nuclear annihilation. The other, "The Night Santa Went Crazy," describes a scenario in which Santa's reindeer and toy making elves are tortured and/or murdered after Santa goes on a killing spree.
