Is this funk? I think it’s kinda funky. Anyway, something a bit lighter to end off your Tuesday, a ponified version of the novelty song King Tut by Steve Martin. Tongue-in-cheek lyrics and references completely intended.
Parody / Ponification
Quicksilver – Sun N Moon | Pop Rock
Not slowing for even a second after just releasing an incredible seven track EP, Quicksilver is back with a pony parody of Katy Perry’s Hot N Cold featuring the celestial diarchs of Equestria. Check it out for some upbeat pop drums, bright guitar, and Quicksilver’s awesome vocals. YEAH!
Mason al’Cat – Sounds of Chaos | Folk Rock
Mason al’Cat keeps bringing us more and more parody / ponified songs, this time with his take on Simon & Garfunkel’s The Sound of Silence. But rather than warn of the evils of advertising, it recounts the events of the season 4 premiere.
Mad Mars – Hopeless | Pop
Ahahaha here’s a fantastic parody of “Worthless” from Brave Little Toaster. Mad Mars is back with his classic, retro pop vibe as he chronicles the woes of various equestrian residents as they encounter each villain.
Hornwerk – The Jewel | Electronic
Flyghtning has brought back their Hornwerk side project – a ponification of Kraftwerk – for another cover/parody. This time it’s their take on The Model, Kraftwerk’s most popular song from the 80s, having turned it into a song about Rarity…
Mason al’Cat – Got My Friendship On | Country
Yeeeeehaw, it’s about time we got some country music ’round these parts! Mason al’Cat brings us a ponification of Got My Country On by Chris Cagle, with a little bit of help from voice actress Hannah May. Check it out, it’s more dandy than a…than a fruit bat in a…in a…well I’m not good with countryisms…
Rapones – Is Pinkie Pie Related | Punk Rock
Francis Vace teams up with lyricist and singer iRhymeTheSongs and releases Is Pinkie Pie Related, another ponification of 80s band Ramones under the very fitting alias Rapones. Expect some Punk Rock greatness with hints of Ska, as heard in Equestrian gig halls and live bars!
LightningStables – Let It Go | Soft Rock
Ponified covers of Disney songs tend to be rather hit or miss with me, but this one very much hit! Check out LightningStables’ rendition of the Frozen classic Let It Go.
Ponies in Reins – The Faster I Flew | Grunge
Here’s a great ponification of Alice in Chains by Redd & Richard Poodles. Both do a fantastic job in contributing their skill sets to make for a solid tune. Very impressive vocal delivery and mixing throughout.
Rockin’Brony – Equestrian Idiot (Green Day Parody) | Punk Rock
Rockin’Brony remade his ponification of Green Day’s American Idiot that he originally released back in December 2014. (Another remake of a ponification, in such a short time after Mason al’Cat released his, such a coincidence!) Some major improvements in this version, in which we can experience a cleaner sound and sweet guitar play, and Rockin’s very Green Day-ish vocals that definitely pay much tribute to that song… the pony way!
