"Backstabber" is Amanda Palmer's song top to bottom, words and music, and it sits on Yes, Virginia..., the second album by the American dark cabaret band the Dresden Dolls. The record was cut in September 2005, with a few extra vocals and the mixing done that November, and Roadrunner released it in 2006 under a title borrowed from the New York Sun's 1897 reply to a letter asking whether Santa Claus exists.
It entered the Billboard 200 at number 42, but sales dropped away fast, Roadrunner soon pulled its support, and things between the band and the label turned sour.
