//------------------------------// // Son of Songs from the Conversion Bureau // Story: Dafaddah's Box of Chocolates // by Dafaddah //------------------------------// Bronies have contributed ponified versions of their favourite songs and also original poems and songs. Many were in answer to these prompts.   1) What songs would the converted want to carry with them? 2) What would they celebrate? 3) What would they miss? 4) What about those forcibly ponified (for whatever reason) - would they have lyrical laments for their lost humanity (talk about an awesome album title!)? 5) What songs would former HLFers (that ended up ponified) likely sing? 6) How about former PER members? 7) And lets not forget: what human songs would likely be hits with native born equestrians, when suitably 'ponified'? Anypony interested in contributing can do so at the following thread: [url=Songs]http://www.fimfiction.net/index.php?view=group&group=26&thread=5113]Songs of the TCB. By Dafaddah Here's a contribution just to show my age - seek out "Hello down there" on Youtube for a ' really different take on Richard Dreyfuss.' Also, in honour of Krass and his love of sea-ponies. Hey little sea-pony, Where ya' going to? Hey little sea-pony, Lemme swim along with you-hoo, Pretty sea-pony, We could have a whale of a time, mmmm Put your fin in mine!

By Alerhys I've obviously read too many of the Mankind Triumphant stories too close together, because I can see some worker with a taste for nostalgia spreading this one around the newly established farms: As I was patrolling the edge of the crop zone I spied me a Red worker strolling along His hood was throwed back and his keys were a-jingling And as he approached he was singing this song Yippie-ti-yi-yo Get along little newfoals It’s your misfortune and none of my own Yippie-ti-yi-yo Get along little newfoals You know that the work farm will be your new home Now early each week we round up all the perpboys We juice them and strip them and cut off their balls Wake them and cube them and clip on their halters And lead all them ponies out into their stalls Yippie-ti-yi-yo Get along little newfoals It’s your misfortune and none of my own Yippie-ti-yi-yo Get along little newfoals You know that the work farm will be your new home                  By Dafaddah This the first song that I wrote for Brony consumption. It's in chapter ten of The Vacation Crew. And is my own personal... Ode to the Princess of the Night She walks like beauty in the night, through stardust paths, in mystery. Clad in a veil of pale blue light, love's sidereal sanctuary. Her sparkling gems in endless flight, trace constellations wandering slowly. Each one a hero there to fight, seek truth, or love or justice holy. In her embrace there is no fright, safe from all toil and from worry. Our guardian on high to smite, Fear's illusions and darkest folly. For all who gaze upon the sight, do wonder at this ancient story. Feel in their hearts that all is right, To see the Moon in all her glory. The Moon's heart danced upon the sight, and shared the joy of every pony. Truly beloved was her night, So full of beauty and harmony.                  By Lord Chit Chat (The god-father of soul speaks! - Ed) Well, I made this a long time ago.
