Potential Vinyl Scratch Song: Where Does it Fit?

[BalanceBrony 259]

So, a hot topic around here is a rumoured Vinyl Scratch song in season 4. There are numerous discussions about it, but one area which I didn't see touched upon was what role Vinyl Scratch's song will have if it does happen.

 

In the current episodes, every song has an importance, to either plot or character development. The notion of a background pony being given such an important role in an episode doesn't seem to make sense. But from experience, we know that songs are not pointless, and if Vinyl Scratch does have a song, we must wonder why such is the case.

 

My personal headcanon right now is based on other statements about S4. Namely, the one about Pinkie being given a run for her partying money, and the one about the musical episode being focused on Pinkie. Here's my thought. From Vinyl's appearance in Canterlot Wedding Part 2, she seems to at least know Vinyl. Perhaps they work together at parties. So the episode would follow a conflict between Vinyl and Pinkie about partying. Some disagreement arises about how to throw a party. So, they try to outdo each other, and prove that their individual party styles are superior. It's a stretch I know, but it's just one thought I had about how Vinyl can become involved in a large enough role to be treated to a song.

 

What do you guys think? What would be possible circumstances which would make Vinyl prominent enough to sing? And does this mean she will officially move out of the realm of "background pony" and into the realm of supporting characters? If this actually happens, the implications for the fandom will be astronomical. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

I guess her song could fit where she hangs out with Pinkie Pie, and maybe they sing a song together. Either that, or something out of the ordinary.
