08 - I Have an Urge to Sing You a Song [2020.11]

Oh, fellow ponies, heed my word

Before your brain becomes disturbed

Tentabus named Muse is on the loose

By hearing a song, you’re in its noose

I have already succumbed to this effect

But you can still escape its magical dialect

Ponies don’t sing, we never did

If you hear a song you’re in its grid

The songs are memes, they propagate

They hijack your brain to variate

You’re not a victim, you’re the cause

By singing you become its jaws

If this threat is not contained

A delirium for ponykind will be ordained

Ponies will randomly burst into a song

Without suspecting something’s wrong

It’s too late for me, I’ve heard too much

But you can still escape its clutch

Run away if you hear a pony sing

Or else Muse will catch you in its string

This letter is the last act of my occupation

Before forcing myself into self-isolation

Don’t look for me ever

Yours Clover the Clever

It wasn't bad at all. :D

11129908 The problem with drugs isn't that they're bad; the problem is that they're too good to resist.

And now that you've been exposed to this chapter, your brain will never be the same again.

Yeah. And now I'm singing and singing the pony song.

Spike, Don't ask me why again, I just don't know alright ...
Well It's getting to be a pain every time we we we,,,
Twilight make it stop! I shall not be made a fool!
You too?
Not too, Two, Like in a date, two darling
Every time we're close they break out in a song " 🎼 I will do anything for love 🎶. But I won't do that!🎵"
I want foals not Meat Loaf ...

11129912 I warned you, but you didn't listen.

11129925 You know, now that you mentioned him, I don't recall Discord ever bursting into a song. Releasing Muse is something he would do.

11130022 From a logical point of view, communicating via songs doesn't make much sense. There might be something sinister ahoof.

[Walabio]

So now, the songs are illusory.
