My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Fan Works/Awesome Music: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 18:42, 4 February 2015

The My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic fandom is prone to making Awesome Music. A lot of it is available to be heard at fan radio stations such as Celestia Radio.

Remixes

Omnipony's masterpiece, "Equestria in Grey"
This beautifully orchestrated remix of "Winter Wrap Up" re-titled "Winter-b-Gone".
A couple of fans on YouTube have created 8-bit versions of the songs, such as this one.
- Special mention goes to the 8-bit version of At the Gala where the show's composer Daniel Ingram helped out.
Ponyphonic's passionate, slowed-down version of Winter Wrap-Up deserves special mention.
On the subject of remixes, this Mashup of Winter Wrap Up and Miku's 'Torinoko City' is amazing. As the top comment puts it 'It is very addicting and strange. 'the melody doesn't seem 'easy' many times yet it just...works.'
- (Is still waiting for someone to make a Japanese version of the three major show tunes using a Vocaloid)
- Will a 17 song mashup album do?
- While that is pretty awesome, I meant something like this, only with Vocaloids.
  - And thus I was finally happy. Although I'm still waiting for someone to make them sing the three main show tunes from season 1.
This remix of "Giggle at the Ghostie."
This orchestral remix of "At The Gala". Now with vocals.
"Party with Pinkie". Every single Season 1 Pinkie song remixed into a single, catchy song.
Cutie Mark Crusaders Theme, Power Metal version.
My Little Portal, sung in the style of G La DOS. Her version of the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic theme song.
Who's A Silly Pony (Rock Cover), especially if you're an Applejack fan.
Winter Dance Up (Winter Wrap Up Remix).
Dr. Dissonance's Steampunk Pony Remixes.
All of the music from season 1, in orchestral form.
[*starts singing* My Little Brony, My Little Brony...AHHH....AHHH...AHHH...AHHH...]
Episode 4 of the "Doctor Whooves and Assistant" takes place during the Winter Wrap Up. As such, there's an awesome version of the Winter Wrap Up song sung by Doctor Whooves and Ditzy Doo.
"Winter Wrap Up" remains an Ear Worm even when performed by floppy drives.
- From the same floppy drives, "Pinkie's Smile Song"
This Gabber Remix of Giggle At The Ghosties.
This Genesis-styled remix of the main theme, as well as ones for Winter Wrap-Up and especially this Sonic credits-styled Season 1 melody.
Alex S. Glitch's remix of the mane theme.
An awesome remix of "Find A Pet"
What do you get when you mix Ponies with Daft Punk? Awesome, that's what.
An On A Cross And Arrow duet of The Smile Song.
- Presenting, The Shim Sham Sisters Super Squeezy Cider 6000!
Tengen Toppa My Little Pony It's a chiptune song that seamlessly mixes together Gurren Lagann's opening theme with My Little Pony's.
My Little Medley: Polka Is Magic, a polka medley of most songs from season 1 and 2 in the style of "Weird Al" Yankovic!
This guitar cover of the theme song.
The Clanky Donkey 2000 from Interrobang Pie - a chiptune remix of Yankee Doodle Dandy (present in the credits of A Friend in Deed) like only Interrobang can do them.
On that note, Dr. Wily Invades Equestria - a fusion of Megaman and Winter Wrap-Up.
Interrobang does it again, this time with the music of the duet between Cadence and Chrysalis.
A Colt Version of Cadence and Chrysalis, with Shining Armor and a male version of Chrysalis. The changes to make it fit are awesome!
Arche's remix of "Love is in Bloom" (extended version here) turns the catchiness of that song Up to Eleven.
How could you forget the Winter Wrap Up remix from The Living Tombstone?
A 13-year old singer named Zabrina, who's worked with Daniel Ingram apparently, did a lovely piano version of "Smile, Smile, Smile".
- Ridiculously lovely.
A lot of the stuff made by KingSpartaX37, remixing lots of MLP songs with some video game tunes.
This orchestra version of the main theme is both epic and upbeat.
The "This Day Aria"? Great. The galiant609 symphonic metal remix? AWESOME!
Woody's piano rendition of "This Day Aria" will blow you away.
For an artist with only this one single song to date, this remix of Discord's leitmotif is amazing.

Original Songs

So, there we were, the Bronies, minding our own business on Youtube one day, when out comes this guy we'd never heard of before, "Ponyphonic", who proceeds to blow our minds with a Villain Song for Nightmare Moon named "The Moon Rises". With its Ominous Latin Chanting and For Doom the Bell Tolls, it gives us one heck of a number for Luna's fall from grace.
Derpedety's infamous "Dash's Empty Sky", as well as his Derpy's Journey series: [1] [2] [3]
This is the extended version of Renard's "Psychoshy." Yes, it sounds like boss battle music of the most epic kind.
Eurobeat Brony's Super Ponybeat series, which Ingram himself has praised! These remixes are among the most popular in the fandom, and Eurobeat Brony even wrote original songs based on Princess Luna and Discord, which are both pretty awesome.
- Of special note is Discord's for actually being pretty menicing and extremely catchy. Considering some fans were let down he didn't get a Villain Song, this is the next best thing, even if it's more of a "The Villain Sucks" Song.
  - Not to mention the remix for the song by the Living Tombstone adds more awesomeness.
  - Now with 20% more Bagpipe Brony.
- One remix that truly stands out is one that actually comes from the G1 incarnation, his remix for "Call Upon the Sea Ponies". The song is so good, it even rescued the sea ponies from the scrappy heap for at least one fan.
AcousticBrony's original Leitmotifs of the show's characters are all amazing, using snippets of music from the show to create perfect character themes. Here's Fluttershy's, Rarity's, Rainbow Dash's, Twilight's, and even one for the Wonderbolts!
- Update: one for Applejack and one for Celestia and Luna.
As scary as it is, a few dedicated fans have taken the Grimdark as Fuck fanfic Cupcakes to heart, and gone so far as to begin making a musical version of it, including songs with fanvoices that sound remarkably like the real characters, such as this one.
- Something Broke, a 20-minute progressive rock song about the fic, is just about as awesome as it sounds, regardless of whether or not you liked the fic. And if that weren't awesome enough, Tarby (the artist who created it) has revealed that it was only a demo track, and the final version will be the opener for a 14-track album he's working on.
  - The Dark Reprises of "Art of the Dress" and "Cupcakes"^[1] are especially chilling.
Pony Swag from Swagberg and Maros. Careful; it has a fair amount of swearing in it.
Applejack's Stage Theme from the upcoming Mane6 fangame, My Little Pony: Fighting is Magic. It's part original, part epic remix of AJ's line from "Winter Wrap-Up". And you thought RainbowCrash88 only did 8-bit remixes!
- Rarity recently got her own stage theme.
- RainbowCrash88's Twilight Sparkle Stage Theme for the same game is epic as well, being mostly based on Derpy Hooves' equally awesome Twilight's Sonata, but also containing parts of "At the Gala" and the show's main theme song.
- A new challenger appears! Pinkie Pie's stage theme is here, and it's sweet and awesome as the Pink pony herself!
For The New Lunar Republic! FOR LUNA!
- And then there's the two vocal versions done by Miu. They should each creep the hell out of you.
- The Lunar Republic will be the doom of us all! For the Solar Empire, for Celestia!
- No! All order is aberrant! Chaos is the true state of everything! For Discord!
By the mind that brought us the original Lunar Republic tune: Hydra Pulse.
Rainbow Factory is a serious Ear Worm, especially when the violins kick in. Definitely not good for someone who wants to forget about the fanfic of the same name it inspired, but other than that, it's worth a listen or two... or three.... or twenty.
- Want a sequel? HAVE A SEQUEL.
Even background ponies get catchy fan-made themes, like Carrot Top's "Beyond Her Garden".
- And Beyond her Tomb, a rap by Mic the Microphone based on it. A borderline Tear Jerker as well, when you take the lyrics and the story into account...
- How about No Strings Attached, theme of Octavia? Powerful, grand, epic, puts many final boss themes to shame!
  - And this orchestral rock remix of it.
- Cherry Jubilee's theme, "Fruits of her labor" shows running a cherry ranch isn't easy, but it's damn well catchy!...wait, What?
  - Now take the above, and set it to an industrialized chinese sweatshop. The result? A downright Earwormy Asian style remix, and it is awesome.
I am proud to be a brony!
Nightmare Night. Just take a listen.
- Best part? For all the dislikers of rap out there, there is now an instrumental.
- Now with rock version.
Balloons In My Basket A song celebrating Pinkie's utter irreverence. The song uses voice samples and they're matched perfectly. Dare you to say this doesn't give make you at least grin.
All you have to do is take a cup of PONY, add it to the mix...
- Anything by Foozogz, honestly. Special mentions go to Find A Pet (Candy Mix) and Rainbow Dash And Fluttershy Go For A Leisurely Glide.
All of the songs so far in Friendship Is Witchcraft: "Art of the Mattress" (aka The Sleep Song), Pinkie's Orphanage Song, "Pinkie's Brew" (which even has an extended version), Sweetie's Big Race, and Princess of the Night. Just note that since they're part of an Abridged Series, they don't always make sense out of context.
- And now Pinkie's Brew Russian Gypsy Jazz Version, it is as awesome as it sounds
"Let Your Mane Down", by d. notive. A beautiful techno song about the precious relationship between Rarity and Sweetie Belle.
"A Long Way from Equestria." and from the same musician, "We Make a Perfect Team", a very touching and beautiful song in the style of Owl City sung in Spike's point of view about his relationship with Twilight.
- A rock alternative collaboration between Mandopony and AcousticBrony is just amazing.
A vocal theme for Rainbow Dash; "Cerulean Blue".
The Want it Need it spell, works everytime from the same person who brings you "No Strings Attached".
- This cover by Miu, arguably even better than the original. Want it... need it... want it... need it...
Jackle App makes a seasonal theme music for non main characters like Lyra and Bon-Bon (Summer), Gilda (Winter), and Ditzy and Dinky (Autumn). Special note to Gilda's song, it's a tearjerking interpretation on what happens after "Griffon the Brush Off".
- The chorus for Autumn was used in in Good ol' Days." Darn catchy song, very happy and upbeat.
Among other things, a theme for Pinkie's Party Cannon.
Check out cinematic orchestra theme music, ESPECIALLY MADE FOR PONIES by Bagpipe Brony, Dr Dissonance, Jeffthestrider, and Makkon.
Equestrian National Anthem. Bonus for being a parody of the USSR national anthem.
Bagpipe Brony's I Will Rise (Trixie's Return Theme). Inspired by another Crowning Music of Awesome: Globus's Preliator. This version has an Ethereal Choir instead of actual singers but it is still epic.
- I Will Rise (Trixie's Return Theme). This version has vocals sung by Creia Wraith but the backing choir is still an Ethereal Choir.
- The latest version, with better mike quality and sound mixing
Also by Bagpipe Brony is Revolution (Last Stand of the Alicorns). It is a WIP but it sounds great.
Another one by Bagpipe Brony: What if Rarity was evil?
The fanmade background music for the audio adaptation of the Pony POV Series is all very well done, and goes especially well with the project as a whole..
Fillies and Gentle-colts, somepony had the time and effort to make the Equestrian National Anthem. UNITE OUR HERD AS ONE GROUP STRONG!
Omnipony's fanmade theme for Twilight Psycho - Time Is Running Out - conveys an epic sense of urgency and chaos. CLOCK IS TICKING!
- Here's another one dedicated to Psycho Twi, a vocal one this time.
Deae Lunae by Makkon. Just... have you listened to it?!
This fanmade Villain Song for Discord.
- And this one.
- How about this one?
She Am Sky. Regardless of the glaring assault and battery to grammar in the title, a fast-paced and somewhat ethereal song, fitting for dashing through the sky at breakneck speed...
The Fall. a sweet song about the falling scene in Secret of my Excess.
The Vinyl Scratch battle theme by Mandopony
And now Braeburn has his own little ditty. "Wild West Dance" by Bass Rabbit
Apparently Vinyl Scratch and Luna are friends, as evidenced by, "The Chill Room At Club Luna".
My Little Pony the Mentally Advanced Series has some good music from it's Spin-Off Rainbow Dash Presents such as Rainbow Fun Factory and Pinkie Pie being hooked on a feeling
- On that note, "Gunna Eatcha Brains" from Pony Dot Mov (WARNING: Not for the faint of heart). Love it or hate it, you'll be humming it all day after one viewing.
When life gives you lemons, PUNCH IT IN THE FACE! says Iron Will!
Vinyl Scratch Opens For A Race. A Wonderbolts race perhaps?
H8_Seed, or TheUlasht (whom you may know as the artist who created Neverending Strife above), has recently taken to creating songs about the mythical creatures of the Friendship Is Magic lore. Here is one about a race for your life against a Manticore. Here's another written from the point of view of the lethal Cocka trice!
The Derpinator is wacky enough to fit Derpy, but badass enough to be a battle theme.
- To The TARDIS! (Doctor Whooves) and Party With The Apple Family (Big Macintosh) are very good too.
She's Mistress Zecora.
Shadow Archon Battle theme, a pretty nice original piece inspired by the fanfic Through the Eyes of Another Pony.
Twilight Sparkle is the final boss!
Wily is not the only one who can invade Equestria - King Dedede joins in! (A chiptune fusion of Storm Wolf's The Beginning of Order and Dedede's theme).
- And now even Cirno, that Baka, joins in the fun in this tribute to Interrobang Pie. (A chiptune fusion of Glaze's "She's A Pony" and Cirno's theme).
This eerie, mechanical-sounding tune.
Screwball loves her daddy... (Almost counts as a Ponified Song as well, since it by the composer's own admission inspired by Phantom of the Opera.)
- It even has a video!
Mayor Mare now has her own theme song.
"Octavia's Overture" by The Living Tombstone, especially Kujiro's cover
Both versions of The Beginning of Order (The end of Equestria) by Storm Wolf are catchy as hell, despite copious amounts of Draco in Leather Pants and Ron the Death Eater involved.
How about Peak Freak's original rock song, "Help Me"?
A crossover with the SCP Foundation, SCP-Equestria.
Spirit of the Aviator has Fear of Flight for the episode Hurricane Fluttershy.
"Max Volume Required (Vinyl Scratch's Theme)". A hardcore techno track. Samples the Epic Wub Time video.
HeyLasFas's Nightfall, a 63-minute progressive rock album about Luna's transformation into Nightmare Moon.
This dark, creepy tune by Navy Brony.
Screwball has her personal theme.
Everypony is gay for Braeburn.

Ponified Songs

Someone created a parody of Owl City's "Fireflies" titled "Fluttershys", and it was kind of sweet. And then a girl with a very nice voice sang it, and it became incredibly sweet. And THEN, this music video was made. Congratulations, you now have diabetes.
- It gets better. That girl with the nice voice? She made a version of the song with Hush Now, Quiet Now mixed in. It isn't quite as long, but it's still amazing to listen to.
- This same girl also did a cover of another Brony's parody of the Mulan song "Make a Man Out of You". [4]. Listen to that and tell me you don't have the desire to hear a group of Bronies singing that together.
A brony wrote a version of Jafar's Villain Song You're Only Second Rate for Discord. The writing is pretty good and their singing is pretty good as well, they just need an instrumental version of the song to set it to and it'd be completely awesome!
- Another group set it to music and made a music video with it. Not only is it much better with music, the video is quite well done.
What happens when you mix Kanye west and Trollestia? Epic pony rap that's what!
What happens when Pirates of the Caribbean meets MLP? She's A Pony! "Oh the Grand Galloping Gala is the best place for me..."
The Beatles; Now with ponies.
A fan wrote a version of Be Prepared from The Lion King. That's cool enough, but then someone actually put it to music and sung it! While not perfect, it's still undeniably good and the creator has stated an improved, animated version is on the way.
The song that put WoodenToaster on the map, Avast Fluttershy's Ass
Someone's managed to take the Double Action song and turn it into a version dedicated to Nightmare Moon appropriately titled Double Action Nightmare Form
Baby Got Flank. It's positively hilarious
What happens when you take an already beautiful Happy Hardcore song and add some Fluttershy? THIS.
The song "Bad Apple" becomes "Bad Harmony."
Mix equal parts MLP, Green Day and the talent of MandoPony and you get: Student of Celestia.
Derpy De Chocobo
Queen Chrysalis meets Donkey Kong.
Someone wrote a version of Tenacious D's Kickapoo about Pinkie.] No music, unless you have an instrumental version of the original song playing alongside.
From Shadyvox: Pony Rock Anthem.
Pinkazoid, combining My Little Pony with Freakazoid.
