Christmas at Ground Zero

"Christmas at Ground Zero" is an original song by "Weird Al" Yankovic, the tenth and final track on his 1986 album, Polka Party! and the final single from the album, released just in time for the 1986 Christmas season. It is done in the style of The Ronettes' numerous 1960s-era Christmas carols, with bells and a saxophone section, with a melody and meter resembling the 1949 novelty song "I Yust Go Nuts At Christmas" by Yogi Yorgesson and the Wizzard song "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday". It is one of Yankovic's darkest songs, alongside "The Night Santa Went Crazy" (another Christmas novelty song by Yankovic), "Good Old Days" (from Yankovic's album "Even Worse"), and "Mr. Frump in the Iron Lung" from Yankovic's debut album.
