Been sick the last two days and been pretty much useless except for looking for obscure pony songs. Came across this one, eh:


QuoteShe looks outside her window at the rising sun,
And she also looks at the same time at her beloved one.
Dinky's sorting out the mail for her in such a thoughtful way.
She saddles up her bags and peeks in the looking glass and hears her daughter say,
"Hey Mommy, can you see how good you look today?
Your right eye has a sparkle, and the left one wants to play.
Your mane looks extra shiny and your feathers, extra soft.
Your cutie mark reminds me that our love will never pop!"

Oh-oh-oh, Ditzy Doo! All the world's in love with you.
It's like you're a fresh-baked muffin, and the rest of us are you,
Ah-ah-ah, Derpy! Tell me, can those bright eyes see?
You make living happier for everypony.

She takes off down the road in search of the day's first home and
Although it takes a moment, she spots the boutique.
A white mare canters out and her lips rise from a pout when
She cannot help but shout, "Hello!" to that gray streak.
Then in the marketplace where every eye knows her face,
She's greeted by their good grace, and she has none to spare
A farm mare selling apples tosses our friend a hatful
It's more than she can grapple, but she thanks the mare
Though she's a little wonky, each pony and each donkey
Together and all on key sing for her a song

Oh-oh-oh, Ditzy Doo! All the world's in love with you.
It's like you're a fresh-baked muffin, and the rest of us are you,
Ah-ah-ah, Derpy! Tell me, can those bright eyes see?
You make living happier for everypony.

It wasn't that long ago that I didn't know
Who I was going to become.
I thought I saw the whole world laid out in front of me
And I couldn't be any more scared than that
I saw a world full of dark, no color, no light, no laughter.
Well, we've all been there right?
Out of the dark, six kind souls came into my life
And this is what they said:
"You've gotta bring back the kid inside, full of innocence.
Don't be afraid, spread your love like Cadence.
You've got a ways left to go,
But it won't hurt to let it show."

Oh-oh-oh, Ditzy Doo! All the world's in love with you.
It's like you're a fresh-baked muffin, and the rest of us are you,
Ah-ah-ah, Derpy! Tell me, can those bright eyes see?
You make living happier for everypony. (x2)
Oh, you make living happier for everypony. (x3)

Inorite?  I love how it ends--  it turns into a complete sing-a-long, much in the style of an Arrogant Worms song. I imagine that could be pretty fun in a party, eh.  (Every brony party I've done where karaoke is featured, the singing isn't just limited to the people with the microphones--  pretty much everyone in the room is belting out the songs.  This song seems really appropriate for that kind of atmosphere.)

Wonderful song.
And yeah, this is going to be a party hit (assuming people get to know it ;) ).

Preliminary timing done (last choruses missing intentionally), first few verses playable (I think?). More work is obviously required,but feedback is welcomed at this point :)

And, guys, this is why I'm not a professional singer.
Good thing I didn't plan to become one :D

This one's hard! The microphone tends to be very picky on some lines, too. I'm not too sure about the pitch during some parts of the song either.

Calling out for testers.
