Crazy Rude

"Crazy Rude" is a song off the Every Ape and His Brother album The Sent-In Clowns. It's a parody of "Rude" by the band Magic!

Background
Around the same time that Winter Horrorland was being developed, the same PA system was also overplaying such songs as "Rude." This led to temptation to parody the song, thus lines like "Why you gotta be so rude; / launching Crockett missiles too!?" In May of 2021, this was expanded into a full song, with the theme being that of taking the original song's premises to absurdist extremes.

The song was written on May 2nd of 2021, and released to AmIRight on the 11th of that same month.

Story
What began as a tale of a man offended that his future father-in-law won't bless the marriage that's about to happen; morphs into a tale of how one man is so unable to cope with his daughter's boyfriend, that he resorts to nuking a city - just to perform an honor-killing! The woman's fiance survives, and vows revenge on behalf of all the innocent slain during the bombing. Only the singer's desperation for answers prevents him from outright murdering the bomber the second the two of them are alone together. In the end, he decides avenging his fallen love is more important than learning the truth - assuming it's even possible to get the bomber to confess.

The man who now has no lover nor her family despairs that he'll never know the truth; but is at least glad that his woman was avenged. He bemoans how the nuclear attack was completely senseless.

Reception
Not long after the song was uploaded to AmIRight, it received upwards of 58 views in under a month. A whole 13 reviews were left, all of them overwhelmingly positive.

Trivia
At the time of uploading to AmIRight, this was the fifth major parody of a song by Magic! on the site for the 2010s.
