(Note: Sung to the tune of Pocahontas II: Journey To The New World's "Things Are Not What They Appear")

Sung by The Mayor of Appleloosa

This is a public service announcement from the Mayor of Appleloosa

"I am Mayor of Appleloosa, and keeper of the law in small town. Yes, is not much to see, but Appleloosa is still very charming village in own way.

But recently many tourists are coming to town to see 'famous apple family' or other things. Looking for AppleOOSA. I cannot help you with apple family or buffalo or whatever else you think we have here!

So on behalf of the citizens of Appleloosa, I will say this; for buffalos, Apple Family and pomme-related events, visit AppleOOSA. All other tourists are to PLEASE visit AppleLOOSA.

Simples."

Things are not where they appear
As the town will make quite clear
It's not the town you know you see
Saturday morning draws near

Things are never what they seem
In the town, apple's the theme
But please don't spell that missing L
Or else you'll go elsewhere, I scream

You'll be surprised. There's no apples, guys
You are thinking of AppleOOSA!
There's a twin town whose name is wrote down
As AppleLOOSA, so close, yet so far!
So before you ask about cider flasks
Or Applebuck Season, 'Kay?
'Kay!
If you ought to know, after E, it's O
Appleoosa's where you've stayed!
Yay!

AppleLOOSA, dear, wants to make it all clear
Nowhere near Ponyville, guys
They cry, cry, cry, cry, cry,
Why?

Things are not where they appear
And the finest proof's right here
Nothing's the same, 'cept for the name
The rest is like 'far' and 'near'!

Please proofread your map, they say
It should save yourself a day
The one with no L's near Ponyville
While the other's a trek away!

Clueless and wild
They just get all riled
As the tourists all ask for Braeburn...
Whoopsie, I thought
This faux pas they wrought
Was the same as my own, what a burn!

Things are never what they seem
I'm right, I'm right!
Two towns get mixed up, you see
I'm right, I'm right!

So if you go, make sure you KNOW
The town of apple dreams
So I'll go make something clear
Things are not where they appear!

I swear it did used to be spelled that way. Wasn't it?
