Beware of Perchta

"Beware of Perchta" is an anti-human-trafficker ballad off the Every Ape and His Brother album Winter Horrorland, singing about the origin story of Polly Ann "Perchta" Wilson as a minion of Krampus and head of intelligence for Nordreichdun. Like most songs on the album, it also serves as a tie-in for The Horrorday Gang. It is set to the tune of "I Have a Little Dreidel."

History
Every December, stores in Michigan overplay some of the same Christmas tunes ad nauseum. At the Grand Ledge Meijer store, this led to the receiving crew in the 2010s deeming December "torture month." To make the dreaded season more tolerable, a sympathetic Dozerfleet founder drafted new lyrics to several songs, creating enough parodies to fill an entire album - Winter Horrorland, which replaced cringe secular Christmas tunes with Krampusnacht parodies inspired in part by the 2015 Michael Doughtery film Krampus.

As a tie-in to The Horrorday Gang, the Polly Wilson version of Perchta needed her origin story told in much the way that Jerry and Luca had their origin stories told in song, and how they became heralds of Krampus. This song was generated with the others on that day, on May 16th of 2021. To break the mold from the other songs, this song was based on the Dreidel theme; rather than the usual Christmas tunes, making it the first time a Hanukkah song was ever adapted for Dozerfleet purposes.

Story
The Children's Nordreichdun Choir, made up mostly of Inuit children who have joined Adolphus' cult, sing a song about how Polly Ann Wilson became Perchta. They recount the grisly tale of how she was kidnapped as a small child, tortured and enslaved for years, and was spared by finding a Marlquaanite ruby at an opportune moment and giving herself powers with it. They then go on with her origin story to sing about how she got her revenge, and how she vows revenge on all human traffickers - especially Belgian cannibals. The children seem to approve of most of Polly's methods and actions, making them come off themselves as a tad bit creepy.
