where does the saying groundhog day come from
Groundhog Day The first documented American reference to Groundhog Day can be found in a diary entry,[9] dated February 4, 1841, by Morgantown, Pennsylvania, storekeeper James Morris:
Bad Day (Daniel Powter song) "Weird Al" Yankovic wanted to record a parody of the song in 2006 but Powter refused his proposal.[125] Later, Powter decided to give him permission to record the parody, which was to have been called "You Had a Bad Date", but was told by Yankovic told that "the train had left the station"; he recorded "White & Nerdy" the day after instead.[125][126] In April 2006, "Bad Day" was parodied on an episode of the television series Saturday Night Live, featuring a montage of former member of the United States House of Representatives Tom DeLay.[4][127] The Daily Show used the song for an American Idol-based montage satirizing the June 2006 death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, leader of Al-Qaeda in Iraq.[128][129] It was parodied by comedy group Moron Life titled "Overplayed" and was released on MySpace in August 2006.[37][130] "Bad Day" was also covered by the fictional music group Alvin and the Chipmunks for their 2007 film Alvin and the Chipmunks.[27] Their version made the charts in January 2008, peaking at number 67 on the Billboard Hot 100.[131]
