ScruffyPony 23 April 17, 2012 Share April 17, 2012 I wholeheartedly disagree. I think the delightful, often catchy or awesome, songs are a staple of this show. One of the many aspects of why I see it as an exceptional show, not just an exceptional children's cartoon. Just my opinion, of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeep 264 April 17, 2012 Share April 17, 2012 I love the show as much as any brony, but I have to just say that the songs are just a little annoying sometimes. What do you think? I agree with you, but as you can see from the replies, they do it because although perhaps obnoxious, it's certainly wanted xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreen 2 April 17, 2012 Share April 17, 2012 I've gotta say, I didn't like the songs originally, they just seemed too girly to me, but they've grown on me. I absolutely love the music now. Except "you gotta share, you gotta care", but even that was funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokuc 8,173 April 17, 2012 Share April 17, 2012 (edited) Annoying?! No, I disagree. I LOVE the songs! When I re-watch episodes I always sing along [Hilarious dub vid] Hahahah I laughed so hard. And the subtitles just made it funnier. Edited April 17, 2012 by Jokuc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwiForLife 87 April 17, 2012 Share April 17, 2012 When I first realized that they sang in the show, I thought it was cliche', but after hearing all of the songs and seeing how well put together some of them are, I love them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reika 1 April 17, 2012 Share April 17, 2012 I enjoy the singing in the show! Except songs by Pinkie Pie...I don't know what it is about her that rubs me the wrong way, but meh. Besides that, I enjoy them very much so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald Flame 381 April 17, 2012 Share April 17, 2012 I like most of the songs in the show, but I skip the intro most of the time. The only episode that got obnoxious with songs was A Friend in Deed. Smile, Smile, Smile is great, but they put too many songs in it in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tteok 16 April 17, 2012 Share April 17, 2012 I don't like how the songs always seem to have random, inopportune placements (haven't seen a TV show yet that handled spontaneous singing well), but after hearing the songs, I always end up liking them. Except for the beginning of the theme song in S1, reminds me too much of the older MLP shows (way too saturated with girliness, to the point where it's annoying and patronizing).

Coco Pommel 669 April 17, 2012 Share April 17, 2012 But I like them... Most of them anyways. We Gotta Share and The Cutie Mark Crusaders were a tab bit bothersome, but the just make me SMILE SMILE SMILE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strafe 594 April 17, 2012 Share April 17, 2012 I admit some are better than others but usually the long ones are the ones with higher quality. FIM's songs are one of the few songs from children shows that I can actually listen to AND have it on my I-pod, let alone tolerate it. "The Gods envy us. They envy us because we’re mortal, because any moment might be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we’re doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again."

Batbrony 16,055 April 17, 2012 Share April 17, 2012 I have to respectfully disagree; in my opinion, the show's creators could've easily screwed up the entire concept of having songs in the show regularly and made it nothing more than an annoying gimmick that rarely appears in the show. Instead, not only are the songs usually of quite high quality, but also, they've become a regular element of the show, to the point that I'd even be willing to label the show as a "family musical-comedy" if I was trying to pin down it's specific genre. Of all the songs, I'd probably have to say Winter Wrap Up is my favorite, especially after hearing the 8-bit version of it at the end of the Ponies Anthology video on YouTube! "You'll hunt me. You'll condemn me, set the dogs on me. Because that's what needs to happen. Because sometimes... cupcakes aren't good enough. Sometimes ponies deserve more. Sometimes ponies deserve to have their faith rewarded... with muffins!!!" -The Muffin Mare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Qiviut 22,427 April 18, 2012 Share April 18, 2012 (edited) I like most of the songs in the show, but I skip the intro most of the time. The only episode that got obnoxious with songs was A Friend in Deed. Smile, Smile, Smile is great, but they put too many songs in it in my opinion. The songs in the show have actually decreased. Seventeen songs were sung in season 1, only eleven in season two thus far. As for the songs, they're in no shape or form obnoxious. Nine out of ten times, the singing is not only the best part of the episodes, but the most important, too. "The Smile Song" describes Pinkie Pie's joy perfectly and foreshadows her persistence to cheer up Cranky Doodle Donkey. "Becoming Popular" describes Rarity's desire to have ponies outside Ponyville follow and understand her wisdom. "Art of the Dress" honors "Putting It Together" and conflicts with Rarity's interests to not only be recognized, but also heed her friends' desires for the dresses that fit the characters one hundred percent.

Lily Sapphire 65 April 18, 2012 Share April 18, 2012 Actually, I agree with this! After the first season, I was wondering why people were going so crazy over the music, because I personally felt like fastforwarding through a lot of them....(some of the remixes are absolutley amazing, but I only found those after)! But the second season's musical interludes have improved DRAMATICALLY, and I just love them so much more, they're not so cheesy as in the first season. In fact, I actually love "Smile" and "Becoming Popular", and can listen to them without any remixing and enjoy them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jibbs93 64 April 18, 2012 Share April 18, 2012 I enjoy listening to the songs from the show, I have the majority of them on my iPod! I have a few remixes and originals thrown in too. The first episode I saw was 'May the Best Pet Win', and I thought the song was rather enjoyable, sort of a sing-a-long musical. Which is a good thing, because if it had left a bad impression, I doubt I would have gone back for another episode. Sure, some of the songs are cliché, but the characters normally play it down in the whole 'Oh God no' sort of way that people watching would do. They know the song is cliché, and they make a joke of it so we can laugh our way through it. It's admirable really. =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mith21 16 April 18, 2012 Share April 18, 2012 I actually really enjoy all the songs in the show here. With most songs I just want to sing or hum along to the beat. I think my favorite song would have to be the winter wrap up song. There is a lot of absolutely 101% freaking amazing remixes of the songs on youtube too that you should all really look up if you haven't already! I personally found the introduction song a bit annoying at first because someone else might of heard me listening to it and wonder what the heck I was watching. Every episode now though I listen to it because it gets me even more hyped up for the show and in general puts me in a better mood. xD If only there was more songs!

Snow Shadow 41 April 18, 2012 Share April 18, 2012 I sing that about twice a day loljk Good for you. We don't have to like the same thing. From bitterness I arise. I shall thrive in the cool darkness of this moonlit winter's night. Oh how far I have arisen to meet you my friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viscra Maelstrom 3,718 April 18, 2012 Share April 18, 2012 they're not anymore obnoxious than all the other songs you hear in animated movies and shows. the only thing keeping me from listening to them regularly is that they're more fitting to hear in the context of the show rather than standalone songs. luckily, fan remixes of the songs remedy that.

ΞMorningstar 77 April 18, 2012 Share April 18, 2012 I'm an oddball, I dance to every song and sing along with the opening theme song. At school, sometimes when I'm walking to next class I hum or even softly sing one of the songs, people give me "That Look" but who cares xD If your not going to be you, who you gonna be?

I was saying that the episode A Friend in Deed had too many, not season 2. I think it had about four, and that's a bit too much for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KakeiTheWolf 652 April 18, 2012 Share April 18, 2012 Pinkie centric episodes are bound to have loads of songs. If I remember, at least three ponies had the "She's going to sing, isn't she?" response to Giggle at the Ghostlie. My Music: http://kakeithewolf.bandcamp.com/.
