- That would explain the Anachronism Stew elements during the musical numbers.
Jenkins, obviously, would be extremely shocked at the request and wonder why the hell Scrooge would request such a frivolous and upbeat song that would be seen as frankly insulting for the death of a now-beloved member of the community, but Scrooge would only smile mysteriously before repeating the request. Jenkins would reluctantly acquiesce, and after Scrooge's death, he would perform "Thank You Very Much," but with altered lyrics that would genuinely honor and commemorate the good that Scrooge would do in the last few years of his life rather than mock and celebrate his death. There would also be an undertone of sadness in this new version that was utterly lacking in the previous, as the townsfolk would be grieving the loss of a generous and beloved old man. Unbeknownst to anyone, Scrooge's ghost (completely free of the chains that would have enslaved him in an alternate future) is watching the whole affair, jauntily dancing alongside the townsfolk for one last hurrah before passing onto the afterlife.
