Blossomforth5 Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 I was reading this book called 'Neverwhere' and this old lady said to beware of doors. I immediately thought of 'Feeling Pinkie Keen' XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motion Paradox Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Well there are a lot of parallels between G1 and little things from Friendship is Magic that I can't tell if they're meant to be intentional or not (I.E. Slugger says "Eeyup", Angel Bunny and Moochick's Rabbit, Ember the original Cutie Mark Crusader, Fluttershy Channeling Posey, Swarm of the Century's similarities to Fugitive Flowers, Heart-throb "Vants to be alone"....)But one I've noticed is that it sounds a bit like the title of Mmmystery on the Friendship Express was also making a nod to "Mmmuffin"And I know the Find A Pet Song is a nod to another song, but I can't figure out which one (I know somepony said that it sounds a bit like "A Little Priest" from Sweeney Todd, but no. Maybe something from Carmen or a relatively old, classic musical) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angie Cakes Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 here's something that I highly doubt was intentional in any way, shape or form but still made me make the connection XDthis is very similar to this .I've seen many fortune teller scenes, but I've never seen any other than these two were something falls on your head after. now I'm kinda worried that this IS a common thing in fortune teller scenes and I just made myself look dumb <_<" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be a bit of a trope, but that doesn't make you look dumb at all. It's clever to spot something like this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, what I wanted to point out was that Fluttershy was originally supposed to be Posey, but Hasbro lost the rights to the character. So it makes sense that Fluttershy acts a lot like her.

So it makes sense that Fluttershy acts a lot like her.I was going to say, alot of the similarities might be because originally characters were going to be based off of G1 characters 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoth Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Being the classic rock fellow I am, I just made this big connection regarding a song by Paul McCartney and Wings to the Flim Flam Brother song, believe it or not.You see, both the Flim Flam Brothers song and the popular Wings song "Silly Love Songs" begin with a very mechanical & gear churning-like sound. "Silly Love Songs", however, is a lot more rhythm-like and goes along with the music, while the Flim Flam Brothers is the actual music via the Super Cider Squeezy 6000.Just take the two songs and compare them below. It's scary how alike they are in how they begin. Show how much culture the guys behind the music are too....as if we didn't know that, though.

I'm pretty sure the song is based on Ya Got Trouble from The Music Man : I also don't think using objects to blend with music is a new thing.Here's an excellent example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eD5ZLE4iVw#t=0m50s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I find the similar beginnings too uncanny to be coincidental. So...two references in one? Both aren't that obscure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see where you're coming from... but as I said, using engine noises to the beat of music is nothing new. I've listened to it a few times, and it just doesn't sound that close to me.
