Is That You, Krampus?

"Is That You, Krampus?" is a song off the Every Ape and His Brother album Winter Horrorland. It's a parody of "Zat You, Santa Claus?" by Louis Armstrong.

History
Every December, stores in Michigan overplay some of the same Christmas tunes ad nauseum. At the Grand Ledge Meijer store, this led to the receiving crew in the 2010s deeming December "torture month." To make the dreaded season more tolerable, a sympathetic Dozerfleet founder drafted new lyrics to several songs, creating enough parodies to fill an entire album - Winter Horrorland, which replaced cringe secular Christmas tunes with Krampusnacht parodies inspired in part by the 2015 Michael Doughtery film Krampus. While the Krampus in Gerosha continuity is not identical to the one in Doughtery's mythology, they have enough similarities to be seen as loosely analogous in terms of overall role. So one version informs the other.

It became popular in the back room to have Krampus replace Santa in every song that was written about Santa; and then that decision would inform all the other lyrical changes. While initially planned for release in December of 2020, this specific parody wasn't finalized until 7:38 PM EDT of May 16th, 2021.

Story
A defiant bankster is about to suffer at the hands of Krampus for all his manipulation of US currency, and diabolical plans to harm innocent Americans through the devaluation of the USD caused by his malicious actions. He boasts of his evil deeds, and tries to fight Krampus upon realizing that the Santa he caught intruding in his home is...off somehow, and can't be the jolly guy.

The battle is quick; and Krampus fights dirty by pulling out a flamethrower, burning the bankster to a crisp. With his dying, raspy, charred last breath, the bankster cries out: "That's him, all right!"

Trivia

 * As Krampus in this universe is a vampire goat-man, he usually tries to preserve enough of his victims to drink their blood and devour their flesh. But this bankster is deemed so evil, that Krampus instead resorts to torching him to nothing.
 * This move is more commonly characteristic of Extirpon or the Purge-Flare in most Gerosha canon. But not outside the realm of possibility for Krampus.


 * Since this Krampus is also the sovereign dictator of Nordreichdun, a-la Marvel's Doctor Doom over Latveria, it raises the question similarly of why he still feels the need to do so much of the dirty work himself, given his endless minions willing to do it for him.
