Alright, everypony! It's time to play the music...it's time to light the lights. It's time to get us ready for the pony show tonite! Haha, now that we've got the air nice and relaxed, it's time to begin Part One of a series of blogs I'll be doing on the music of Friendship is Magic. To further the immersion I recommend listening to each song as it you read along. Now, without further ado, I present to you:

Pinkie Pie Rules' Top Hits: Top Ten Songs of Seasons 1 & 2

#10 S1 E21: Over a Barrel - "You Gotta Share, You Gotta Care" (Pinkie Pie): Starting in an episode set in a stereotypical western town, we have Pinkie Pie dressing up in an adorable dance hall outfit and singing like she's in a saloon. She presents a song that may bother both the ponies and buffalo, but this song is just so darn catchy and sweet we humans can hardly resist. The message is clear and presented the way only Pinkie can do: ponyrific and through a song. The message: You have to share, you have to care.

#9 S2 E17: Hearts and Hooves Day - "Finding Cherilee's Special Somepony" (The Cutie Mark Crusaders): This episode is a fairly good one, but most Crusader episodes are. In addition; this song introduces two hidden gems; Button Mash and the trolly face of the jelly-obsessed pony. Despite what we had seen before, this song shows that the Crusaders have beautiful voices. The lyrics are silly and light-hearted, and the song ends abrubtly on a hilarious line by Apple Bloom. The song may not be the most memorable, but it sure is nice and catchy. Don't you just want to make a GIF out of the Crusader's adorable skipping?

#8 S1 E26: The Best Night Ever - "The Best Night Ever" (The Mane 6): This song is not what I'd usually listen too if it weren't a pony song; but hearing each of them describe their dreams for this night and singing them in their own way is a nice little way to handle it. I wrestled with this song and whether to include it or not, but Rainbow's rockin' verse and Pinkie's sweet description made this good enough to take the Number 8 spot. We also, as a bonus, get to see a recycled design - the ponies Pinkie dances with are wearing her "Dance Hall Girl" outfit.

#7 S1 E26: The Best Night Ever - "The Pony Polka" (Pinkie Pie): Wow, two songs from one episode, one right after the other. This song is just so darn catchy! How does Pinkie know what is going on with her friends while she's singing...? Whatever, she's being Pinkie Pie. Rarity's angry face and Fluttershy's crazy shout make this song particularly funny to watch. Not to mention we get to see Pinkie interact with Octavia in her own way - by being Pinkie. This song makes me want to party whenever I hear it.

#6 S2 E15: The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000 - "Opportunity/The Flim-Flam Brothers' Song" (The Flim-Flam Brothers): Well, I'm gonna say it now. Why is this song not being played at every fair and carnival? These two are probably some of my more hated FiM characters (although not nearly as hated as Snips and Snails...) but the song is just so darn amazing and catchy it always gets stuck in my head. Granny Smith finally earns a nice line in song to argue with the brothers. How the citizens of Ponyville don't see how these guys are trying to put the Apple family out of business I don't even know; but this song probably has some effect on it. Well you've got opportunity in this community.... See what I mean?

#5 S2 E9: Sweet and Elite - "Popularity/The Type of Pony" (Rarity): Now, I do NOT endorse the message this song presents, as popularity is not everything. However, this song is so beautifully sung and I just adore Rarity, so naturally this catchy song made it's way onto the list. We also get to see the hidden Derpy, the return of Photo Finish (even if she has no lines), and we get to see just how glamerous and how beatnik Rarity can get in any situation. Her voice is just so beautiful.

#4 S1 E14: Suited for Success - "The Art of the Dress" (Rarity): This song at one point during the creation of this list was Number One, however I pushed it back after re-listening to each song. This song goes by a very catchy beat, and shows off just how truly generous Rarity is, through both verses. "Even though it rides high on the flank, Rainbow won't look like a tank!" is my favorite line of this song. In the second verse, we also see that the other of the Mane 6 have character flaws, which in reality only makes them better characters because they are relatable. Once again, Rarity's beautiful singing voice holds this song together by the.... seams....Haha, I kill myself with my amazing jokes. As an added bonus, this is also were we got the 20% Cooler meme.

#3 S1 E11: Winter Wrap Up - "Winter Wrap Up" (Twilight Sparkle featuring Ponyville Citizens): This song just outright is the definition of catchy. The Mane 6 all get their own solos, and we hear just how beautiful their voices are. The chorus is as I said the definition of catchy, and this song pretty much made me embrace my true brony self. By the time this song was over for the first listen, I realized that I was a brony. Applejack and Rainbow's solos get stuck in my head constantly and are so good. If you seperate the lyrics and the instruments, the song is still just as catchy know matter which half you hear. It is upbeat and happy, which makes a great song in my book.

#2 S1 E2: Friendship is Magic (Part 2) - "Giggle at the Ghosty" (Pinkie Pie): The shortest song on this list is also one of my all-time favorites, and it also taught me not only how to laugh again but to stand up and laugh my fears away. Ever since I watched this, Humor has trumped Fear in my life. It always just screams "Laugh!" at me, and I can't help but get a smile from this. Not much to say on this one except it truly shows us how great a character Pinkie is. Take a lesson, my friends! Laugh in the face of fear!

And now, the moment you've been waiting for... The Best Song from Seasons 1 and 2....

Here it is....

#1 S2 E18 - A Friend in Deed - "Smile Smile Smile/The Smile Song" (Pinkie Pie): Oh yeah. If you know me, you should know this was gonna be my pick. In addition to being a Pinkie fan, I love to Smile and this song taught me how to again. When you're life is in a rut and you feel like it'll never get better, this song teaches us to smile. And smile. And smile. This song always helps wipe my tears, clear my mind, and make me happy again. This is a song I'm not afraid to hum all day. The beautiful video that goes along with it and the feeling of true happiness that runs in your veins when you hear this song only add to the MLP experience. How can you not love this song? C'mon everypony, Smile Smile Smile, fill my heart up with Sunshine, Sunshine, All I really need is a Smile Smile Smile from these happy friends of mine! Smile, Smile, Smile, Smile, Smile, C'mon and Smile! Come on and Smile!
