This year's opening number, "Season of Crud," was set to the tune of "Seasons of Love" from RENT (see lyrics below). It was performed by (Left to Right) Diana Burbano, Dan E. Campbell, Paula Einstein, Aaron Sawyer, Kelie McIver and Chip Dornell...

SEASON OF CRUD
Music by Jonathan Larson              Parody Lyric by John Wilson

365 days of terrible movies – 339 films that everyone cursed…
365 days of Hollywood garbage...
How do you measure, measure what’s worst?
In sequels, in remakes, in rip-offs of old TV shows…
Bad acting, bad scripts, and stuff that just blows!
365 days of really bad movies  – 
How do you punish…the worst of the year?
RAZZ ‘em with L-O-O-O-O-V-E!
RAZZ ‘em with L-O-O-O-O-V-E!
RAZZ ‘em with L-O-O-O-O-V-E!
These are the worst…
Season of C-R-U-U-U-U-U-D…
Season of C-R-U-U-U-U-U-D…

365 days of Jessica Simpson…
365 days when Tom Cruise was nuts…
365 days of Britney and Paris --
We’re here to tell ‘em all, “Yo, you really are a putz!”
The truth it may burn, and the “winners” may cry –
But through the years they’ve learned…The RAZZIES® don’t lie!

It’s time now…to sing out – ‘Cause the worst it never ends…
Let’s celebrate the worst of the year with the best of friends!
Talkin’ ‘bout C-R-A-A-A-A-A-A-P…
           (OH! You got to, you got to remember the worst!)
Talkin’ ‘bout D-R-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-K…
          (You know the worst, it’s a gift from down below!)
Talkin’ ‘bout C-R-U-U-U-U-U-U-D…
          (Share the worst!  Love ‘em first!  Pay ‘em back!)
Season of C-R-U-U-U-U-U-D!
Season of C-R-U-U-U-U-U-D!
             (These are the Worst, These are the Worst for sure!)
