Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy (Tchakovsky song)

For his latest Grinch-themed video, “GRINCH GOES VIRAL,” Dax brings us a Grinch who wants nothing more but to go viral to attain his dubious ends. The green one ponders his plans and grievances to the tune of Tchaikovsky’s “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy.” In years past Dax’s Grinch videos have been wonderfully surreal and absurd and with this one the rapper has really outdone himself. This Grinch checks his Tik Tok feed for inspiration, hate consults with Instagram and gets into a conflict with his girlfriend and her father landing him in jail but pleads that “green lives matter.” Subsequent to release our protagonist considers that he’s toxic and suffers from ADHD and PTSD but also bitterness over how his own victimhood complex and how Christmas ruined him and that Hollywood chose Jim Carey to play the Grinch instead of the Grinch himself. This pushes the Grinch to concoct a new movie where he gets to play himself and indulge in all the questionable language and themes of racial slurs, sexual ambiguity, skewed political commentary and of course nudity. Then when the Grinch has duped Hollywood producers to set this film in motion and the inevitable fame comes with the success of that cinematic misadventure the Grinch will hang with Biden, Harris and Zuckerberg and recognized by everyone with the viral explosion of popularity. The Grinch lets us in on a secret of his fantasy, though, about how he would become an idol worshipped by the public but hating himself provately, about to afford to go anywhere but unable to do so because of his anxiety but he justifies this fate because everyone hurts him first so he doesn’t care who he hurts on his vision of upward social trajectory. What happens with the Grinch’s plan? Watch to the end. The production on these videos from Dax has always been well executed and too real even when over the top and his vocal delivery is so fluid and energetic it sustains the narrative through some major verbal gyrations in the story. There’s nothing much like it. Watch the video on YouTube and connect with Dax at the links below.
