Talk:The Flim Flam Brothers (song)/@comment-26423071-20160706234312

No coincidence.

The Flim Flam Brothers, like Harold Hill, are con men (con Ponies) who took advantage of a period of unrest in a small, quiet, insular town (Ponyville was running out of cider, Mason City was concerned with their teens hanging out at a pool table) and proceeded to con the whole town while a lone person/Pony (Applejack and Marian Paroo) stand up to them.
