Alright...!
Do not worry...
I found the perfect song for us to sing...!
We weren't worried...
Thank Luna...!
...I wasn't worried...
It took some time...
...And I had to make a few deals here and there...
...But I found -just- the right one...
Brace yourselves...
Because I choose--
Cap'n...?
Yes...?
...Have you ever heard of rap...?
Of course...
...That's the stuff we use when don't eat Queeny's dinner so she puts it away for later even though we're just going to wait until it rots but that stuff keeps it fresh so we can't wait until it rots...
...Right...?
No...
...I mean the musical kind...
Oh...
...Don't look at me like that Hive-Mind...
...When you make us something that isn't predigested, we'll talk...
Well...
...I only ask because somepony sent in a script all in rap format...
Really...?
Yeah...
...And it goes a little something like this--
Know your mare,
Know your mare,
Know your mare,
Alright, I'm kicking it off!
So who're we putting on stage tonight?
Ah, a little orange pony who loves to write?
And who goes by the name of Armalite!
Loves to write horror and adventure!
Which is what you had to go through to get a publisher!
Oh, I concur.
Of course you do, I've heard you like to rap.
That I do fair chap.
Then this'll be fun, Queeny, take it away.
So, I've read one of your stories as a school essay
Oh? And do, pray tell.
It was just one giant cliche!
Your work should be left in a hole to decay!
Beating you right now is child's play
So bow down to the queen and obey!
Alright Blank, have at him!
Oi! I've heard you read aloud in demonstrations!
That made foals sick for generations!
Listen up blank flank!
It's right there ya yank!
You can't rhyme better than the best!
You can't even pass a simple math test!
I just ain't impressed!
I suggest you all drop this contest
Before I cause some civil unrest.
I'm an honor guest,
You three are but measly pests!
I have one simple request,
Feeling distressed?
A little depressed?
Starting to lose your zest?
Don't protest with the police out for your arrest!
…
They're out for you too.
…
RUN!
This is what music has come to...?
I think it's rather dapper...
I don't understand the youth today...
I didn't understand them a thousand years ago...
So what was that song you picked out Cap'n...?
...Eh...
...I'll let you two wing it when we start...
