Pastiche of the song 'Hakuna Matata' from The Lion King · 1:49pm Jun 25th, 2012

Patiche of the song 'Hakuna Matata' from the Lion King as requested by BookWorm. This one was harder than usual as it's tricky to find something that fits into the Hakuna Matata bit that actually makes sense in MLP. But I sort of managed it after about half and hour (thinking not writing). This song is sung by The Great and Powerful Trixie's two biggest fans Snips and Snails to their overly sarcastic school chums (imagine the CMC lines in an extremely sarcastic voice). Snips and Snails are trying to persuade the other foals to come and watch Trixie's shows...Enjoy and comment

[Snips:]
Look to the shadows!
See what’s coming from there

[Snails:]
Out of the shadows!
Pops the best known mare

[Snips:]
You shouldn’t worry, but you should really care

[Both:]
She’s the mare we all wanna be
The only one that matters!

[Scootaloo:]
The only one that matters?

[Snips:]
Yeah. It's her motto!

[Apple Bloom:]
What's a motto?

[Snails:]
Nothing. What's a-motto with you?

[Sweetie Belle:]
Will she solve all our problems?

[Snips:]
Of course. Take Snails here
Why, when he got trapped in the bog...

[Snails:]
When was I a trapped in the bog?

[Snips:]
Last week

[Snails:]
Oh!

[Snips:]
The mud sucked him down right up to his hooves
He couldn’t get free; he couldn’t move

[Snails:]
I don’t remember this happening at all

[Snips:]
And it hurt so much like he’d taken a big fall
And oh, the pain {Snails: There was pain?}
When he cried, nopony came {Snails: Nopony came?}
And he got downhearted {Snails: What does that mean?}

[Snails:]
I felt like I was...

[Snips:]
Hey! Snails this isn’t a song about us remember!

[Snails:]
Oh. Sorry

[Both:]
She came from the shadows! And saved the day
The only pony that matters! That’s what we say

[Trixie enters and sings:]
But she’s not free; you’re going to have to pay

[Snips and Snails:]
She’s the great and powerful
The only one that matters!
Only one that matters! In from the shadows!
Only one that matters! In from the shadows!
Only one that matters! In from the shadows!
Only one that matters! From shadows!

[Trixie:]
You bow down, we have to do it all her way

[Snips and Snails:]
Because she’s Trixie; the one that we wish to be
She don’t believe in Hakuna Matata!
(Repeats)

[Snips:]
I say "Only"

[Snails:]
I say "Matters"

Ha-kuuu-na Matata

(Trixie: The wrong song you little foals)
[Snips and Snails]
Oh right: She’s the only one that matters
