Weasel Stomping Day
"Weasel Stomping Day" is a song by American parodist "Weird Al" Yankovic, which appears on his 2006 album ''Straight Outta Lynwood''. It is also one of six songs on the album to have an animated music video, created for the Adult Swim show ''Robot Chicken''. It is the shortest track on the album.
This video appeared in "The Munnery", the twelfth episode of the second season, which aired on September 24, 2006, two days before the album was released. Al has jokingly said that Weasel Stomping Day falls on June 31, a day that does not exist in the Gregorian calendar.〔(Weird Al Yankovic - An Interview About Humor - Weird Al Yankovic Straight Outta Lynwood )〕
==Lyrics==
The lyrics describe a fictitious holiday, which involves putting on hiking boots and a Viking helmet, spreading mayonnaise on one's lawn and stomping weasels to death. It's indicated that the participants don't know the history behind it and are at peace with the violent nature of holiday, doing it anyway because it's "tradition" (similar to ''The Simpsons'' episode "Whacking Day" and Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery"). The song's cheery melody, reminiscent of animated musical specials of the 1960s, is contrasted by sounds of weasels being flattened; A splattered crunch, followed by a squeal. (The sounds were made by Al recording audio of himself smashing and biting into fruit.) ''Robot Chicken'''s stop-motion music video generally follows the lyrics, and graphically depicts weasels being crushed, smashed, and pulverized in various ways. A character wearing a PETA T-shirt takes part in the weasel-stomping activities.
