Like Nuts on Crack, Not So Sweet (Parody Song Baba Yaga, Dr. Jill Biden's White House Holiday)

Nuts on Crack, Not So Sweet (Parody Background Song Baba Yaga & Tap) is from video taken of Dr. Jill Biden's special guest dance troupe from New York, Dorrance Dance who performed at the White House for the holidays of 2023.

Their dance was intended to be an artistic depiction from the Nutcracker. Many people posting comments online did not see it as artistic but rather the opposite.

For parody the background music has been changed, tap sounds have been added. Also added are comments from the public on X (formerly Twitter), Truth Social and Rumble. The background song is by Modest Mussorgsky’s “Pictures at an Exhibition, Baba Yaga” @Public Domain musopen.com.

World History Encyclopedia excerpt: Baba Yaga (Baba Jaga) is a witch or ogress from Slavic folklore who lives in a magical hut in the forest and either helps, imprisons, or eats people (usually children). She is among the most famous figures from Slavic folklore as guardian of the fountains of the waters of life and is sometimes seen as embodying female empowerment and independence.

Her name is often understood to mean "Grandmother Witch", though this is challenged and there is no universal agreement on the meaning of Yaga. She is first mentioned in a book on Russian grammar in 1755 but is thought to have existed in the oral tradition of Slavic folktales much earlier. Although she is usually the villain of any piece she appears in, she can also offer assistance and is understood as more of a trickster character who encourages transformation than the stock figure of an evil witch.
