Ding Fries Are Done![edit]
The single entitled I Work At Burger King (Ding Fries Are Done) was released on April 9th and became an immediate success. It was written in 2002 by a retarded high school student named Billy who worked at Burger King, with whom Peter Griffin was a coworker at the time. Upon hearing the song, Griffin bought the rights from Billy in exchange for a Whopper.
In 2007, Billy's parents pressed a lawsuit against Peter Griffin for exploiting Billy's naiveté. The court ruled in favor of Griffin on the grounds that he and Billy were on equal footing, as Peter Griffin is also technically mentally retarded. Although some say the Kool Aid man's abrupt visit might have distracted the jury.

Reception[edit]
A Peter Griffin Christmas was generally received with negative reviews. Critics slammed the album as being unoriginal, uncreative, and of poor quality. Ken Tucker of Entertainment Weekly gave it the worst review. "You can clearly hear Peter fart on several tracks," he wrote. "Even the ones where farting was not a central theme of the song. And, seriously, what the hell does Surfin' Bird have to do with Christmas?"
There were also claims that it was a shameless plagiarism of the Jessica Simpson Christmas album. Upon these accusations, Griffin responded:
“Who the hell is Jessica Simpson?”
Then he farted.
