"Danville for Niceness" is a song sung by all of Danville through the WJOP TV when the whole city is branded "naughty" in "Phineas and Ferb Christmas Vacation!".
Lyrics[]
Episode version[]
Phineas: Everybody's saying we're naughty,
It's getting really hard to take.
Isabella: So we've come to let the whole world know there must have been a mistake.
Baljeet: So if Santa and his elves can hear us,
We hope we've been clear and concise.
Buford: In the verses vice versus us.
Baljeet: Vice versa: us versus vice.
Everyone: Danville is very nice
Santa, please
Check your list more than twice
Guaranteed!
Blay'n: Danville. What's he talking about?
Clewn't: Let me see that list of last minute naughties.
Blay'n: They're all from the same place.
Clewn't: Hmmm. We've got to get to the bottom of this....
Everyone (While Clewn't and Blay'n talk):
Danville is very nice
Santa, please
Check your list more than twice.

Background Information[]
- This song is edited in the 30 minute syndication version. Baljeet and Buford's lines are completely removed and there is a cut to an exterior view of the North Pole Naughty Investigation Unit.
- This is also the only version of the song to be dubbed in the Indonesian, Malay and Croatian versions. All other dubs use the normal version.
- When Clewn't & Blay'n are looking at the screens, Isabella is shown on the second to the top row of screens 3rd to the left. They are looking at 24 screens (6 across 4 down).
- This song is literally 30 seconds after "Where Did We Go Wrong?".
- Isabella has a solo line for the 4th time ("In the Mall", "Ballad of Badbeard", and "Where Did We Go Wrong?").
- The sign says: Danville For Niceness (Or, Santa, What Gives?)
- This song features background vocals by Laura Dickinson (http://ringostrack.com/en/artist/laura-dickinson/15684)
- An instrumental version of this song is heard in the Season 4 Valentine's Day episode "Act Your Age" when teenage Phineas and Isabella hold hands and officially become a couple.
Allusions[]
- The format the song is sung in is similar to We Are The World. Including the fact that the "Danville is nice" sign bears a resemblance to the "USA For Africa" sign. (USA For Africa funded "We Are the World")
- In Dutch, everyone sings "Die Stad" instead of Danville. "Die Stad" means "That City". That's probably because "Danville" or "Tri-State Area" is hardly ever referred to in the Dutch version.
- The line "Check your list more than twice." is an allusion to the line in the famous Christmas Carol, "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town" that says "He's makin' a list, and checkin' it twice."
