Once more again the Summer months have made their way around, and all of Ponyville will see the joyous times abound. The Harvest celebration is seen just 'bout every year, and every-time it comes along you'd hear the shout and cheer.
Yet, some were not invited, though, for fear of how they'd act, causing certain accidents from the carefulness they lacked.
That all changed one fateful day when a stranger came to town, and with nothin' but a snap he turned the whole world upside down. He wouldn't change it back until they passed a single test, a challenge to the lot of them to prove who was the best. Now every pony started lookin' 'round with certain fright, cause who among them there could even save them from this plight?
But a certain mare stood up real tall and stated with a grin, that she'd take his little challenge cause she's the best there'd ever been!

(WARNING: Drug references. Like, A LOT,
oh johnny don't you ever know the time keeps marching on?
and here's the devil went back to georgia!
I wonder how many likes your gonna get just from the cover art alone.
Is this based off that the devil came down to something? And the devil offered the kid a golden fiddle or something?
a pretty good read, nice job

not enough weed references
6457003 Are referring to "the Devil Came Down to Georgia" by the Charlie Daniels?
6459017 YES! THAT SONG
6459474 The only country song I've ever really liked. Cheers.

Nice adaption of the Devil went down to Georgia.
Have a 'statch.
Shoehorning ponies into something does not make that thing better.
In fact, it usually misses the point and winds up making the original look bad for inspiring it.
This was pretty good, if a little forced. Discord is generally in character and entertaining as always-although the comment about making the ponies his eternal slaves in another pocket dimension just seems out of character-even in his introduction he didn't really threaten to do something like that. Of course, I suppose it could have all been an act on his part-probably was, in fact.
Outside of that, most everyone feels to be generally in character and likable.
I say this feels a little forced mainly for the premise: doing a literal adaptation of the song to fit the MLP verse. It just doesn't seem to flow quite so smoothly as it should. Probably would have been better if Discord just blatantly ignored the Fourth Wall here.
Anyway, a descent enough and entertaining story that needs a little work.

I'm not sure if that ruined my thought of the song or the Muppets. Meh.
I laughed so hard on the "tranquilize a horse" part. That was awesome!

I found something!
Definitely got the theme perfect. That was one silly, fun, and refreshing story.
Super duper awesome. GreaT job
Oh, you sly thing, you. ^-^ I've seen a few Devil Went Down to Georgia fics, but this one... ^-^ This one wins all the muffins
Fantastic work, I absolutely love this.
