  3. Pony Music Parodies

    in Music Showcase

    Posted

    I've always found it fun to take the lyrics of songs and change them to something different. The other day I decided to do it again, but this time, with pony-themed lyrics. Thus, my parody journey began.

    Over the past two days I have done three parodies so far:

    Changeling with Alicorn Wings [smashing Pumpkins Parody]

    http://eqbeats.org/track/3131

    Naturally Beautiful Mare [Doors Parody]

    http://eqbeats.org/track/3132

    A Thousand Years [David Bowie Parody]

    http://eqbeats.org/track/3136

    (This one I'm especially proud of. It sounds the best of the three so far, quality-wise)

    And I'm probably going to keep on making them. I'm having a blast doing it, and I hope you find them interesting as well.

    Feel free to leave any thoughts about these.

    Bwa, jffff, erfff. STOP! You're making it worse!

    I'd rather we used 'pony' for all. 'Brony', to me, just sounds silly. And, yes, I realize talking about ourselves as 'ponies' might sound silly, but it seems less silly than 'bronies'. That's my take on that.

    And, yes, I noticed myself not running to youtube right away to see the new episode. I tend to get around to the episode the next day, or perhaps several days after the airing. I still really enjoy the show (I think season 2 is great so far), but I don't find myself as hyped up as I once was.

  11. Pony Personality Test

    in Pony Chatter

    Turns out I'm most like Fluttershy. Not too surprising. As happy and hyper as I can often seem (I definitely have a bit of a Pinkie Pie side to me), I am actually quite a quiet person, and I'm not fond of a lot of noise. I also definitely have a Twilight side to me, as I absolutely love reading (I CAN COUNT TO BOOKS 8D), and I hope my local library will review my application to volunteer there. I don't know if it sounds silly or not, but I think shelving books seems very fun/relaxing/interesting.

  14. So That Didn't Go As Well As I'd Hoped...

    I don't know what it is about MLP that them younger folk just can't take. It's a bit of a paradox that older people can get into more easily, isn't it?

    I wouldn't call this so much of a paradox, really. In fact, I don't find it to be all that surprising. Usually (but not always), with age comes better understanding and appreciation of things. I find, in my case, that the older I get, the more I tend to appreciate/like things I didn't when I was a kid. For example, I used to absolutely loathe winter. Now, winter is setting in once more, and...I'm okay with it. Perhaps even a little happy about it. I relish the calm and the quiet, shoveling (I know it's weird, but I love to shovel, and besides, it's great cardiovascular exercise), and curling up inside under a warm blanket with hot cocoa/tea and a good book.

    They say things often get better with age. I hope that is the case for all of us. :P

  16. The Refrain [SirenSong, DJPinkiePie]

    Crystal pushed open the door, stepping into the dimly lit club. It was early afternoon, a time when no one would be frequenting a club, and so the lights were dimmed, and the bartender was not present behind the bar. As the door closed behind her, Crystal scanned the interior, taking it all in. So this is the club that Mr. Turn Table owns, she thought to herself. She remembered giving him her manager’s card a few weeks back, suggesting that he schedule a singing gig for her. He had indeed done so, wasting no time at all in contacting her management; he certainly was eager to see her again, and this made her nervous.

    Her nervous thoughts bounced around in her mind as she moved forward, stepping out onto the dance floor. “Hello? Mr. Turn Table, are you here? I came to have a look at the club before my gig tonight.”

    Well, I remember a friend of mine on FurAffinity had a whole bunch of journals and pony art that he did, and I was like 'LOLWUT My Little Pony?' But, seeing as I'm fairly open-minded about stuff like this, my curiosity got the better of me, and I had to see what it was like.

    5 minutes into episode 1 of the first season --> "WHY DO I LOVE THIS OMG I MUST WATCH ALL OF IT"

    And now I am forever hooked. Ponies = the best drug.

  19. Haiku thread?

    in Last Post Wins (formerly Spam Stables)

    Posted

    That first part of yours

    Only had 3 syllables.

    You have failed the test.

    *BUZZER* I'm sorry, it is you who have failed the test. While most people do the usual 17 syllables, 5-7-5 form, that is not the /only/ way it must be done. In fact, haiku are more about the feeling, 'the moment', than about strict form. [ http://www.ahapoetry.com/haiartjr.htm ]

    Now, I guess I better throw a few haiku in here

    =====

    scattering dead leaves

    with a wide sweep of my hands,

    looking for green grass.

    -

    Rainbow Dash overhead,

    the wind captured in her wings--

    a sonic rainboom

    -

    the last sip of the sixth infusion,

    and my eyes are heavy, drowsy;

    first snowfall of the year.

    -

    peeking under

    Mother Nature's skirt:

    the willow tree.

    -

    I saw the crow

    caw sadly at the sky

    and I just had to weep

    -

    quivering leaf

    still hanging

    in winter's midst

    -

    heavy snow.

    a fir tree

    breaks.

    =====

    There, a nice little sampling of some of my haiku. That Rainbow Dash one I just wrote now, because I wanted at least one pony haiku in there. :P

    "A pleasure meeting you too, Mr. Turn Table." She says, bowing her head ever so slightly. "Oh, you own a club? Well, I've never been one to turn down a singing engagement." She fishes around in her bag and pulls out a card, handing it to him. "Here, feel free to contact my manager. You and him can probably work something out, and set a date."

    Behind her, she hears the soft peal of a bell; a patient was calling for the nurse. "Oh, well, I must go take care of that patient. Again, nice meeting you!" She says cheerfully, turning and heading quickly down the ward to the patient; she had felt a little unnerved by the forwardness of Turn Table, and was eager to retreat to her duties. Jazz siren though she was, she was still a very shy mare when it came to dealing with stallions.

    Crystal blinks in surprise, not expecting to receive an invitation to lunch. She quickly retracts her wing from the hug, blushing slightly herself. She was definitely flattered, and was no stranger to receiving invitations from stallions. That being said, she was merely being kind to Turn Table, her attentions were merely platonic.

    "Oh! Uh...Mr. Turn Table...I...I'm flattered, really, b-but...I just started my shift an hour ago, and it lasts almost all day. And it's my last shift to boot, so I want to be sure to leave on a high note by putting in a lot of work. And by the time I'm done, I'll be pretty beat. It's not easy being a nurse, you know." She says as gently as she can, not wanting to hurt his feelings. "Anyhow, you're beat, go home and sleep, silly."

    "Well, if you're going, then just be very careful with your wing." She called after Tempest as she left. "I'll let the nurses know you and Ms. Starburst have left."

    Realizing that Turn Table was standing aghast beside her, she turned to address him. "Well, Mr. Turn Table, you did a nice thing for them, but it seems Starburst must be suffering from some trauma; the moment she saw you, she bolted. If I didn't know any better, I'd say she has a problem with stallions...but I'm by no means any expert on psychology, I'm just a jazz singer." She giggles gently. "Don't feel too bad about it, your heart was in the right place." As she says this, she throws a wing around him and gives him a hug.

    "Now, go on home and sleep in your own bed, you are sorely in need of rest."

  23. What book(s) are you currently reading?

    Not me, pal! I LOVE Ray Bradbury's stuff. I even got his autograph once and gave him some art at a book signing once. :D

    Illustrated Man was great. So was Martian Chronicles, R is for Rocket, S is for Space, etc, etc. :)

    Haven't really read Bradbury, except for the first 40 pages or so of Fahrenheit 451 (which I just could not get through at all). I'm not sure if it was just /that/ book, or perhaps his writing style, but something tells me I'm not a fan.

    Also, is your avatar a cartoony version of Tarkus? EMERSON, LAKE AND PALMER FTW. 8D
