I did a Background pony song a while back, but it was crappy quality (but still my most popular video so far)
This is a much better version
it is a ponified cover of the Major-General's song which is here youtube.com/watch?v=wYZM__VdEjk
download the song here mediafire.com/?cjri9hsye92op3s
the art was by me, you can check out my other art here wacarb.deviantart.com/gallery
I can't fit every pony in. I even didn't specifically name my own favorite (Lyra), so sorry if your own fave isn't there.
I know some are more background than others, try not to lose any hair over it.
LYRICS
I am the very model of a pony terminologist
I study them in practice as a brony sociologist
From cutie mark to colour scheme to long or short or curly mane
A list of such identifiers to which I can place a name
There is a list quite very long in case you were all wondering
Of the ponies and they're names on which I will be blundering
Though I'd love to tell of ponies in the show who are the front of it
Today we're looking at the ponies in the back that bear the brunt of it
There's Berry Punch and Apple Bytes and Honeysuckle, Allie Way
And Icy Rain and Karat, Palmer, Pokey Pierce and Merry May
And Sugar Berry, Sharpener and Golden Grape and Symphony
And Meadow Song and Beauty Brass, Vigilance and Noteworthy
There's Blue Bonnet and Cherry Cola, Parasol and Twilight Sky
Vanilla Sweets and Riverdance, Octavia and Peachy Pie
Orange Blossom, Toffee, Mr. Breezy, Mochaccino
Cherry Berry, Chilly Puddle, Derpy and Concerto
There's Comet Tail and Doctor Whooves and Aloe, Lotus, Lyrica
Promontory, Ceaser, Rumble, Salty and Petunia
Colgate, Lily, Daisy, Rose, Featherweight and Candy Mane
Emerald and Red Delicious, Vinyl Scratch and Thunderlane
There's Checkered Flag and Rainbowshine and Purple Wave and Sassaflash
And Serena, Shamrock, Screw Loose, Hugh Jelly and Holly Dash
Papermoon and Lightning Bolt and Melilot and Tiger Lily
Apple Pie and Blossomforth and Dainty Dove, Serenity
There's Dinky Doo and Caramel and Baritone and Silverstring
And Uncle Orange, Wildwood Flower, Truffle Shuffle and Rosewing
Steamer, Hot Rod, Juicy Fruit, and Ginger Gold and Sunny Rays
Berry Pinch and Sunset Bliss, and Picture Perfect, Lemon Daze
Millie, Bon Bon, Flitter, Lucky, Davenport and Snips and Snails
Soarin, Roxie, Orange Wafer, Nurse Redheart and Tux 'n Tails
Spitfire and Squeaky Clean and Masquerade and Affero
Ambrosia and Cloudchaser, Ace and Quake and Yo-Yo
Though time and time again the names will change to something different
It does not bother me as I will always remain vigilant
And still I stay in practice as a brony sociologist
