In the Dark of the Night (Avenue Q)

This song from Avenue Q (Toonwriter's fan fiction series) is performed by James Eagan Holmes relishing his newborn superpowers (given to him from a radioactive explosion after a meteor crash-landed into the city) as he became the Joker. Chaddam & the Evil Chipmunks, the Love Cult, the Colored Ghosts and the Devils serve as his chorus, and in the climax of the song, the following arise from an eerie fog in cloaks: Bastinda the Witch, Mr. Pants, Grizzle Ingrid, Pinky the Worm, Buzzard Beak, Poe Raven, Draculon the Bat, Rakan the Tiger, the Dragarsonists, the Garbage Pail Kids, Rap Rat, Serpenious the Serpent, Robbie Rotten II, Fat Ed and Dr. Atchoo.

JOKER: In the dark of the night, I was tossing and turning And the nightmare I had was as bad as can be It scared me out of my wits A corpse falling to bits! Then I opened my eyes And the nightmare was... me!

I was once the most pathetic man in America

CHADDAM & THE EVIL CHIPMUNKS: Ooh, ahh, ooh

JOKER: When the people betrayed me, they made a mistake

CHADDAM & THE EVIL CHIPMUNKS: Ooh, ahh, ooh

JOKER: My curse made each of them pay But some little kids got away Little children, beware The Joker's awake

LOVE CULT AND DEVILS: In the dark of the night, evil will find them! In the dark of the night, just before dawn!

JOKER: Revenge will be sweet When the curse is complete

LOVE CULT AND DEVILS: In the dark of the night

JOKER: They'll be gone! Ha ha ha ha ha ha! I can feel that my powers are slowly returning

CHADDAM & THE EVIL CHIPMUNKS: Ooh, ahh, ooh

JOKER: Tie my sash and a dash of cologne for that smell

CHADDAM & THE EVIL CHIPMUNKS: Ooh, ahh, ooh

JOKER: As the pieces fall into place I'll see them crawl into place So goodbye, kids from everyplace Farewell

LOVE CULT, GHOSTS AND DEVILS: In the dark of the night, terror will strike them!

JOKER: Terror's the least I can do!

LOVE CULT, GHOSTS AND DEVILS: In the dark of the night, evil will brew!

JOKER: Soon, they will feel That their nightmares are real

LOVE CULT, GHOSTS AND DEVILS: In the dark of the night

JOKER: They'll be through!

LOVE CULT, GHOSTS AND DEVILS: In the dark of the night, evil will find them!

BILL: Find them!

LOVE CULT, GHOSTS AND DEVILS: In the dark of the night, terror comes true!

Trivia

 * When Chaddam & the Evil Chipmunks sing the "Ooh, ahh, ooh" parts, their voices are not modified or high-pitched; they lip-synced to the chorus, making them sound even more scary and evil in this song.
