Courtesy of tonight's Phineas and Ferb Christmas special, we have another addition to Saint Paul's list of questionable Christmas song lyrics. Consider if you will the second and third verses of the classic We Wish You A Merry Christmas:
Oh, bring us a figgy pudding;
Oh, bring us a figgy pudding;
Oh, bring us a figgy pudding and a cup of good cheer
We won't go until we get some;
We won't go until we get some;
We won't go until we get some, so bring some out here
"We won't go until get some" certainly seems like an implied threat does it not? Unless you hand over some figgy pudding and a cup of good cheer, these maniacal carolers are going to be on your doorstep disturbing the peace and creating a scene. Not entirely dissimilar to extortion tactics employed by union thugs or even the Mafia. Note too that they aren't asking, they are demanding: "so bring some out here." We'd hate to have anything happen that might uh...spoil your Christmas, you know. Now make with the figgy pudding and we'll be on our way. That way everyone is going to be happy, right?
