The A.V. Club: Why did you pick “The Twelve Days Of Christmas”?
Kyle Dunnigan: There are a couple of reasons I don’t like it. First, it sounds like a toddler’s song. It has the musical dimensions of “The Wheels On The Bus.” Also, I have a problem with getting 12 presents because nobody does that in one day. Another thing is that it’s supposed to be presents “my true love gave to me,” and most of the gifts are birds and animals. I think a bird is the worst present you can give somebody because it’s guilt-ridden. This animal has the gift of flight and you put it in a cage and watch it not do that until it dies.
Speaking as someone who's owned two birds before, if you aren't letting your bird out to fly around the house, play around, and spend time with the family, you are a terrible bird owner.
I feel so bad for birds who do that. Sure it's superficially funny, but what kind of house has it grown up in to learn to shout racial slurs for a full minute?
Also as soon as I watched that video, Youtube started flooding my recommendations with pets being adorable, which I have to say is probably a step up from the rancid pundits it usually tries to inundate me with.

Waluigi is here. The thread is now funny.
