| "The Christians and the Pagans"
The Funny Lyrics: And where does magic come from? I think magic's in the learning,
'Cause now when Christians sit with Pagans only pumpkin pies are burning. Why They're Funny: Earlier in the song, the mother of the family dodges a religious question by exclaiming that the pies are burning. I love the way she references past verses, and the obvious allusion to the Salem trials.
