...time he rescues Hughes, Melvin's hopes for success are focused on a lyric he has written and has had set to music for a $75 fee he cannot really afford. When Melvin insists on singing Santa's Souped-Up Sleigh to Hughes, the thing turns out to be as awful as the title. A little later Dummar's wife Lynda, fed up with the futility of her husband's vague schemes, takes their child and leaves him to find work as a go-go dancer in a topless joint.

Outside the witch's gingerbread house a sign reads: THIS STRUCTURE WILL BE TORN DOWN AND REPLACED BY A NEW 44-STORY COOKIE. The back of Santa Claus' sleigh bears the bumper stickers REGISTER COMMUNISTS, NOT FIREARMS! and LET'S GET THE U.S. OUT OF THE U.N. "That's funny," observes a lady as he goads his reindeer skyward. "For some reason, I always thought of him as a liberal...
