Charlie Kelly's first serious music endeavor involved a character known as the "The Nightman". It was his belief that his life as someone innocent and naive required the Nightman. The song is about the Nightman "coming into him" to endow him with much needed manliness and power.

AboutEdit

The first lyrics to the Nightman were written in the Paddy's Pub office. As Kelly is largely illiterate and possibly dyslexic, the lyrics as written, appeared as a page from a coloring book.

Mac and Frank's band Chemical Toilet were the first to attempt the song with Kelly, but they determined that the words to the song were too lame for their band's artistic aspirations.

Kelly went on to form a band with Dennis Reynolds and, with Reynold's assistance, created The Nightman's nemesis The Dayman. Their band was called Electric Dream Machine.

This Nightman/Dayman hybrid made its first public appearance at Paddy's Pub. Electric Dream Machine was heckled and booed by the drunken crowd. ("Sweet Dee's Dating a Retarded Person")

Charlie went on to create a stage musical centered around The Nightman called The Nightman Cometh. ("The Nightman Cometh")

LyricsEdit

Nightman, sneaky and mean

Spider inside my dreams, I think I love you

You make me wanna cry

You make me wanna die

I love you I love you

I love you I love you

I love you Nightman

Every night you come into my room

and pin me down

with your strong arms

you pin me down

and I try to fight you

you come inside me

you fill me up and I become the Nightman

It's just two men sharing the night

It might seem wrong

But it's just right!

It's just two men sharing each other

It's just two men like loving brothers

One on top and one on bottom

One inside and one is out

One is screaming he's so happy

The other's screaming a passionate shout

It's the Nightman

The feelings so wrong and right, man

They're feeling so wrong and right, man

I can't fight you, man

When you come inside me

And pin me down with your strong hands

And I become The Night

The passionate passionate Nightman

Charlie's Spray Paint ImprovisationEdit

They took you, Nightman

And you don't belong to them

They left me in a world of darkness

Without your sexy hands

And I miss you, Nightman

So bad...

NotesEdit

• In "The Nightman Cometh Live!", this song was performed by "Little Boy" and "The Nightman" himself.
• Probably, The Nightman's prefiguration is Charlie's Uncle Jack, who's definitely a child molester
  and just freakin' pervert.
• For more information about Uncle Jack's "sexy hands", (re)watch episode "Dennis Gets Divorced".
