Son of Songs from the Conversion Bureau

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.

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!
Oooo-oo-oo-ooooo-ooo
The tide is in and it's getting dark out, there might be a shark out!
mmm-mmmm
But don't worry I'll hold you tight,
The starfish will shine so bright,
And everything will be alright!
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!
Oooo-oo-oo-ooooo-ooo

How about some memorable pony commercial jingles?

I wish I were a Sweet Apple Acres Apple
That is what I'd truly love to be
For if I were a Sweet Apple Acres Apple
Everypony would be in love with me!

With a name like Zapp Apple, it's got to be good!

Oh they'll wonder where the yellow went,
When you brush your coat with Brill-i-ant!

And for those wishing secondary conversion to seaponies.
As a Seapony. (Check out In the Navy by the Village People - Ed.)

Where can you find pleasure, search the world for treasure,
No motorcars or technology,
Where can you begin to make your dreams all come true
On the beach or in the sea?
Where can you learn to fly in water play or freedive,
study oceanography?
Sign up for the conversion or sit on the sidelines
when the princesses see our vision.
As a Seapony, yes, you can swim the seven seas.
As a Seapony, yes, you can put your mind at ease.
As a Seapony, come now ponies, make a stand.
As a Seapony, can't you see we have no hands
As a Seapony, come on, don't think we are phonies.
As a Seapony, come on and join your fellow, ponies.
As a Seapony, come on, ponies, and make a stand.
As a Seapony , As a Seapony
We want you! We want you! We want you as a new recruit!
If you like adventure don't you wait to enter
the conversion bureau fast.
Don't you hesitate, there is no need to wait;
they're signing up new equines fast.
Maybe you are too young to join up today
but don't you worry 'bout the thing
for I'm sure there will be always the Sea Ponies
protecting the beaches and reefs.
As a Seapony, yes, you can swim the seven seas.
As a Seapony, yes, you can put your mind at ease.
As a Seapony, come now ponies, make a stand.
As a Seapony, can't you see we have no hands
As a Seapony, come on, don't think we are phonies.
As a Seapony, come on and join your fellow, ponies.
As a Seapony, come on, ponies, and make a stand.
As a Seapony , As a Seapony
We want you! We want you! We want you to convert
..But..but..but I'm afraid of water!
..hey..hey..look, ponies...
I get seasick even seeing a painting of a ship!
But I don't want to live in a shipwreck!

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

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.

(The god-father of soul speaks! - Ed)
Well, I made this a long time ago. Living in America - James Brown

Yeah, uh! Get up, now! Ow! Knock out this!
Super ways, place to place,
easy to get anywhere
On the transequestrian overload,
just slide in the carriage
How does it feel
When there's no destination - that's too far
And somewhere on the way,
you might find out who you are
Living in Equestria - eye to eye, city to city
Living in Equestria - hoof to hoof, across the nation
Living in Equestria - got to have a celebration
Rock my soul
Smokestack, hay bale,
many miles of railroad track
All night parties, keep on runnin'
through your partying soul
All night diners keep you awake,
hey, on black coffee and a hard roll
You might have to walk the fine line,
you might take the hard line
But everybody's bucking overtime
Living in Equestria - eye to eye, city to city
Living in Equestria - hoof to hoof, across the nation
Living in Equestria - got to have a celebration
I live in Equestria, help me out,
but I live in Equestria,
wait a minute
You might not be looking for the promised land,
but you might find it anyway
Under one of those old familiar names
Like Cloudsdale (Cloudsdale),
Canterlot (Canterlot),
Manehattan (Manehattan)
Baltimare (Baltimare),
Ponyville (Ponyville)
Appleloosa (Appleloosa),
Fillydelphia (Fillydelphia),
Hoofington and L.P.
Living in Equestria - hit me
Living in Equestria - yeah,
I walk in and out
Living in Equestria
I live in Equestria - nation lines,
gonna make the prime, that
I live in Equestria - hey,
I know what it means, I
Living in Equestria - hit me, I said now, eye to eye,
city to city
Living in Equestria - so nice, with your bare self
Living in Equestria - I feel good!
