Shut Up And Dance

It's Toe Tapper and Torch Song's twentieth anniversary. Toe Tapper has been planning the surprise for a while, but he would like his son Down Beat to perform a song for it while he prepares everything else. Being an artist with some pride, he elects to write the song himself.

Beat is a little overwhelmed by the task.

Inspired by Walk the Moon's "Shut Up And Dance"

This was actually a pretty enjoyable read. Good job! Though there are a few typos. May want to go back and fix them.

I'm still waiting for the Doctor Whooves story update. Mark of the Mara is really interesting and I am rapidly losing my patience.

"Thanks, but I'm sure I won't need her help," I scoffed as I took the address from dad. "I mean, how hard can it be to write a love song."
One day there is going to be a magical tome written by the sacred horns of the five Alicorn princesses. It shall catalog all of the stupid things aid by insufferable morons that nearly leveled cities. Things like "What could go wrong?" or "What does this button do?"
.... Or "How hard could it be to write a love song?"

That is the line that earned my upvote.

To my surprise she said. "And strike two. You don't write something like that when you're looking for something, you write something like that when you've found it. Every love song I have recorded that has ever been worth a damn has been about the same wonderful husband and agent. Don't try to fool me, child. I know how this process works. So one more time, who is the song about?"

And that is the line that earned my favorite.
