No way of knowing, where we'll be going, our adventures never end.

This story is a sequel to Car Wash


Ponies are musical by nature. I enjoy making a fool out of myself in front of crowds. It was bound to happen sooner or later... Karaoke is love it or hate it, and the ponies have no idea what they're in for.

Additional Characters: Razzaroo, Sunny Daze, Sparkleworks

Special thanks to Admiral Biscuit for pre-reading and cover art!

I don't know most of the songs that were mentioned, but I still found this cute & funny. :twilightsmile:

Sweeeeeeeeeet Caro line BA-BA-BA!

Since you made mention of your dislike of mixing country and rap, have you heard the Joe Nichols cover of Baby Got Back?

I haven't, but a country cover of a rap song (or vice versa) wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing. While not to my taste, the lines about country-rap were just me attempting to be funny. I don't get it, personally, but on the flip side, I can also say the 1980s called and wants my playlist back.

On a side note, looking up Joe Nichols' discography has resulted him getting a nod in either the next chapter of 16 or the Act II chapter for the same pony. Thank you!

This made me a little nostalgic for my early 30s, doing karaoke every Tuesday night with my then-girlfriend. You nailed the mood and setting, and particulars of some of the songs. Does my wife have the lyrics to We Didn’t Start the Fire memorized? Yes, yes she does.

Nice! I bet the crowd goes nuts when she does it. :pinkiehappy: I say this from experience. :raritywink:

This fic is surprisingly based on actual events. Even the ponies chosen to feature in this story are included because they were really there. I didn't go there with the intention of turning it into a story, but once it was pointed out to me that G3 ponies were hiding among the decor, the idea came and I realized I had to do it. More details and even some pics in the associated blog post: https://www.fimfiction.net/blog/976003/story-notes-every-breath-you-take

Because of covid, it had been a long time since I'd last gone out for karaoke prior to the night that inspired this story, and I was thrilled to go again for the first time in years. If you & your wife haven't been out for karaoke in a while, I hope you get a chance to go soon!

I’m just super sayin, I think Minty would be a cute couple with the main character. Plus, who wouldn’t like a late night drive at 2 AM with a pony friend while y’all have a heart-to-heart? I know I’d love that personally :raritywink:

I can't really argue that, but as these are self-inserts, I think that might be a little too self-indulgent. That said, I'll think about it. I've never been much of a romance writer, but there's definitely chemistry between them and it's the next logical step. It's that or the 'they're too oblivious to know they're perfect for one another' routine (think Who's The Boss). In the meantime, what happens out of story is completely up to the readers. I have no objections to this ship. :heart:

As for an early-morning car ride heart to heart, that sounds like a great idea for a fic! Thanks for the suggestion!

Glad I could give some inspiration! As for being “too self-indulgent”, sometimes it’s honestly fun to say “screw it” and just see how far you could take it! I love all these stories though, probably cause I’m also a car guy haha. Gotta love Mustangs

Already more than 800 words into it. :raritywink: I have the perfect vector (1995439 on Derpibooru) and I just need to take a picture to complete the cover art. That and to complete the story. That would probably help...

Thank you! :pinkiehappy:
