Krampus is Coming to Town

"Krampus is Coming to Town" is a song off the Every Ape and His Brother album Winter Horrorland. It is a parody, set to the tune of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town."

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.

This song was one of the first to be made for the album, and is about as straightforward in theme as it gets. It was released around the same time as many others, being added to the official blog on May 11th of 2021. Its inception corresponds with early Krampus builds in The Sims 4, such as a Krampus-themed reskin of a Christmas house on the Gallery originally designed by Indonesian artist Jullecy, operating on the Gallery under the alias "FindJoo."

As early inspiration in late 2016 gave way to developments all throughout 2017, the song's lyrics were finalized on October 26th of 2017. It was released in May of 2021 to Dozerfleet's official blog.

Story
As rumors begin to fly about what all the Horrorday Gang is and what they can do, those who fear Krampus make a song describing their fears of what may happen if he visits a town near them. The song mentions eyes being gouged out, organs being sliced, being dragged to Hell, along with other tortures. The song ends with a chainsaw sound effect, implying Jerry tagged along.

Similarly-named non-Dozerfleet works
This song specifically references the Adolphus Krauss version of Krampus, and rumors of his cruelty to those who make his list. It should not be confused with a very different tune by a similar title, released on December 4th of 2015 by the Plastic Bastards. It also shouldn't be confused with this song by a similar name by PuffinMcClouds. Nor with this version by Chicken Marbellas. Nor with this version by the Chaos Kids. This version by Bobbo1946 is most similar in agenda. While this version is the most popular on YouTube, it also is not to be confused with Every Ape's version.
