Deleted Scene: The Flim-Flam brothers... rap?

I have no idea why this happened, but when I finally sobered up I realized that I gave the Flim Flam brothers a musical number in my latest story. I was originally going to leave it in, but I decided that it didn't fit the tone and pacing of the story.

Still, if any of you guys want to see me make a fool of myself by writing below average lyrics, here they are: Spoiler free, so no need to worry on that account.

Stronghoof looked a little confused, but nodded. Then it was the two inventor brothers turns.

"Your names?" Octavia asked. Both engineers took a deep breath before replying.

"I'm Flim, he's Flam, and engineering's our jam, but it seems that you lack familiarity, so here's our story:

They say that we work magic with electricity,

But without any hint of sorcery!

Don't have time for safety factors,

Far too busy designing tractors,

Killin' our time studyin' magnetism,

And building planes with aerodynamism!

Whupawupawupawupa!

We're brothers, but there ain't any sibling rivalry,

We understand each other like we're talking binary!

There's nothing complicated about an inverted matrix,

And in chemistry, we throw it all into the mix!"

Octavia held up her hoof, stopping them in their tracks.

"I don't suppose you ever visited Ponyville, have you?"

"Affirmative."

"Twice, in fact!"

"Kicked out both times."

Octavia raised her eyebrow. "Strange. I'd have thought you'd fit right in."

Flim (or Flam) placed his hoof on his heart, sadness filling his voice. "It seemed that the townsponies took offence to our lack of ethics."

"In particular, this one pony..."

Both stallions glowered. "Yes, her... the vicious farmpony..."

"...And why are you going to Trottingham again?" Octavia asked.

"Well, we have this device..."

"A very powerful device..."

"We're presenting it to the Great Braytain Royal Engineering Board. If we're lucky, we can get approval to begin a whole manufacturing line!"

"Or we could sell it for millions... but that would be a waste of potential."

Octavia closed her eyes, remembering her previous encounter with the pair. They had mentioned their design before... she nodded to herself. Their story checked out... but what if they had another motive? What if they were prepared for this interrogation?

"I see. Thank you for the... rap? Was it a rap?"

"We're not sure. We have been expanding our musical horizons."

"Just like we've been expanding our engineering horizons!"

So there it is. I'm going to go with: I need loads more practice at songwriting before I can stick one into a story. Still, I got a few laughs out of it, and you might too.

Until next time!
