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 turningAnd the nightmare I had was as bad as can beIt scared me out of my witsA corpse falling to bits!Then I opened my eyesAnd the nightmare was... me!

==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.
