MLP:FiM BGM - Cutie Mark Crusaders Karaoke (Instrumental)

[trexattack]

somone should do an 16-bit remix of this :D

[KiwiHardy]

@trexattack someone already has

[trexattack]

@KiwiHardy where can i find it then? when i search 16 bit cutie mark crusaders theme it comes up with an couple of remixes and an 8 bit version

[KiwiHardy]

@trexattack oh sry i meant the 8-bit...

what's the diference anyways?

[pikapotter2]

Awesome job!

[OrpheusHart]

Without scootaloo's horrible singing, this song actually kicks ass. Who'd have known...

[electricmastro]

@OrpheusHart It's funny that even though this song has alot of effort put into it, the main thing they want us to hear is that bad, but hilarious singing?

[SicilianEskimo]

WTF is MLP:FiM BLG?

[electricmastro]

@SicilianEskimo Why should it surprise you? If you watch the actual episode and listened past Scootaloo's "so-so" lyrics, this is the very song you would hear.

[ATRaddi]

wow...i sing this song kinda good XD

[xReiLovex]

Trying to persuade my friends to do this at the school talent show with me...

[JackalDayzen]

Mum: Turn that hard rock music off

Me:They'll never know...

[doubledstar]

I tried it on my Sound Recorder and I TOTALLY ROCKED SCOOTALOO :D

[SuperElectrogirl98]

If I had one of my friends listen to this w/out the video, they wouldn't believe me when I say it's from MLP.

[WritersBlah]

So...a totally rad 80's power ballad wins the prize for COMEDY...while people like Lady Gaga and Justin Beiber get multimillion dollar deals to sing on the radio...

Buck logic.

[picsmics4]

c'mon Applejack, you gotta be proud and supportive of your lil sis, no matter what she does!

[CrazyGrapefruit]

They would've won if they'd just played this!!! Sounds like a classic 90s video game or anime theme.

Sompony's overdue for a badass mixing cutie mark! :D

[Namikazesora]

that is one powerful fan

[Superduperhog]

Can't stop, replay button.

[Superduperhog]

Dat air guitar.

[mttloebach]

Better than FiM live.

[Gilliebaam1634]

dr whooves!!!

[crazyheart6868]

Where Was This Video When I Was Looking For A Instrumental?

[herbienbrian2]

uuuuooOOOOOHHH I

I JUST DIED IN YOUR ARMS TONIGHT

IT MUST HAVE BEEN SOMETHING YOU SAID!

[CutieKitty183xo]

@herbienbrian2 hahahahaha I realized that!

[PinkieGummyPie]

@herbienbrian2

umm... excuse me but what?

[CutieKitty183xo]

@herbienbrian2 omg I thought of this as well!

[dogman15]

I swear I just realized this... in the beginning of the video, when it's just their heads, you can actually see their bodies very dimly lit, showing how they're standing. I can't believe I never noticed that until now!

[DarthEquus]

Can you mash this up with Cutting Crew's "I just died in your arms tonight", please?

[darkestwolf115]

The instrumental version sound like something made in the 80s xD

[mindlessgonzo]

@darkestwolf115 I think it was to match 80's glam rock.

[clothoBuerocracy]

This song kicks ass.

[mudkiptyler]

Why can I hear the words in my head?

[NickBeat88]

Pffft look at you and your lyrics, I already know this by heart!

[MrDeathknight13]

whats with the background sound at 1:12? is it really part of the original song cuz to me it doesnt seem to fit.

[kurisux]

@MrDeathknight13 That would be a sound effect from the show itself. Normally, sound effects are mixed into the center channel (which is why vocal only cuts of this song have all the sounds in them). That effect, however, was placed onto the right audio channel, causing it to be present in this video due to this one being made from the isolation of said right and left channels from the center (vocal) track.

Stereo mixing is a funny thing like that... :D

[MrDeathknight13]

@kurisux oh ok i see

[Mictlanmatini]

OMFG! The new producers for MLP are putting a lot of effort in this series...

[PhantomFluttershy]

I feel so bad for Scootaloo. She just wanted to sing, but nobody liked her.

[theperfectone121212]

You know what this song's missing? Dive bombs. You just can't have hair metal without them.

[MarbalTm]

@theperfectone121212 Actually, it is missing Microsoft Sam.

[theperfectone121212]

@MarbalTm I hope you mean vocoders.

[MarbalTm]

@theperfectone121212 I COULD REMIX THIS TO SOMETHING MOAR BETTER

[theperfectone121212]

@MarbalTm I did. I took the vocals and did a re-instrumentalization of the song, adding a couple of other guitar solos and synth bits.

[MarbalTm]

@theperfectone121212 (facehoof)

[TheDevilishangel123]

@theperfectone121212 dont worry about him, hes just a troll

[theperfectone121212]

@TheDevilishangel123 Works for me.

[MarbalTm]

@TheDevilishangel123 I MOST CERTAINLY AM NOT!

[TheDevilishangel123]

@MarbalTm yes, u r.

[MarbalTm]

@TheDevilishangel123 Then explain how i have i have a brown Texas Ten Gallon hat renamed to "Applejack's Hat" in my TF2 inventory.

[TheDevilishangel123]

@MarbalTm what does that explain?

[Haloman2023]

I hate to say it, but this is so much better without Scootaloo singing. It's like an entirely different song.

[Mictlanmatini]

@Haloman2023 If somebody played this song, without telling me it's from my little pony, I'd honestly think it was actually and old 80's hard rock track I've never listened before. That's how good it is.

[SNIPERGUY9294]

I love how at the end the lead guitar is following similar notes that the vocals are. I just wish it didn't cut off, though - I would have loved to hear a wailing high note just before the stage crashes. XD

[Gman8261]

omg i always felt so wierd listening too this song becuase scoota loo is not a singer nor is apple bloom a dancer

[MrDiablolord]

so catchy

[DarthEquus]

Somebody should mash this up with Cutting Crew's "I just died in your arms tonight".

[Rijimon1302]

Im not sure if its a good thing I can sound EXACTLY like Scootaloo. :/

[Melodyotakuchan21]

Thanks for posting this version.

[artixvonkrigor]

ENCORE = GET THE FUCK OFF THE STAGE!

[calfitz10]

Does anyone else do air guitar for that part at the beginning?

[CutieKitty183xo]

@calfitz10 haha definitely

[MichaU320]

@calfitz10 Me, lulz :)

[SUPERVANMAN64]

@calfitz10 Occasionally XD

[hotelmario510]

@calfitz10 I do air guitar all the way through.

[Animatube1]

so much epicness

[ProjectSNT]

I like how at the end the music just cuts off abruptly. XD

[hotelmario510]

0:23

Reminds me of Comfortably Numb.

[EpicEevee9001]

:< I wanted the song that played at the beginning of this episode where they were trying to see what got them their cutie marks...

[hotelmario510]

Sing this in the style of Twisted Sister.

Rejoice.

[theperfectone121212]

@hotelmario510 :awwyeah: True that, man.

[hotelmario510]

@theperfectone121212 It's fantastic. Someone get the singer of Twisted Sister to sing this.

[theperfectone121212]

@hotelmario510 Or any hair metal vocalist will do. I can see how Dee Snyder would work but how about Sebastian Bach (Skid Row)? I think he'd knock this one out of the park.

[hotelmario510]

@theperfectone121212 Just get anyone glam metal and you'll see instant results.

[theperfectone121212]

@hotelmario510 I won't argue with that. Bret Michaels, Sebastian Bach, Paul Stanley/Gene Simmons, hell even Dave Mustaine (I know that's not hair metal, but his vocals are epic)

[hotelmario510]

@theperfectone121212 Deffo.

[theperfectone121212]

@hotelmario510 While we're on topic, Freddie Mercury or Bruce Dickinson would really make this an epic tune, but maybe switch up the instrumentals a bit (Replace the synths with clean guitar arpeggios, make the distorted guitar bits heavier, beefier drums and bass, etc)

[hotelmario510]

@theperfectone121212 Freddie Mercury makes everything awesome.

[theperfectone121212]

@hotelmario510 Totally, and thus why Queen is one of my favorite rock bands. That and Brian May was a hell of a guitarist.

[hotelmario510]

@theperfectone121212 Totally.

[saspwned12]

Just like 70's. ;D awesome..

[Kerrandrius]

I love that synthesiser.

[Fenderbaby2]

I don't know about you,but the opening just screams EPIC RAP BATTLES OF HISTORY!

[Melissails]

Thumbs up if you sang better than Scootaloo.

[hotelmario510]

@Melissails This is the only song I can sing badly to and not feel bad about.

[dogman15]

At 0:24 (the lead-in) and 1:01 (the chorus) the chord progression is almost exactly like Cutting Crew's "I Just Died in Your Arms Tonight". Someone ought to do a mashup of those two songs, if it hasn't been done already!

[theperfectone121212]

@dogman15 That's because this song was inspired by that classic, though some bits sound like Fade to Black and The Final Countdown.

BTW, if anypony has long hair and you're caught head banging to this, just keep headbanging. No shame, rocker bronies!!

[dogman15]

@theperfectone121212: I knew it was inspired by IJDiYAT, but I'm not as familiar with FtB or TFC, so I would have to listen to those again to spot where they're referenced or quoted here.

[theperfectone121212]

@theperfectone121212 The opening solo sounds like a bit from the opeing of FtB, while the chorus and guitar part in the middle reek of The Final Countdown.

[NoLiesOnlyCake]

Please pardon me while I CUM EVEEEEERYWHEREEEEE

[Talonrod]

lol this song is so AWSOME not even the haters hate it XD

[hope4thebest43]

...oh i did not just cconcider singing this 4 the school talent show O.O

[webkinzgirls555]

<3 Make a karaoke to Winter Wrap Up pleeaasee

[DesuOperator]

Ponies in the 80s...

[theperfectone121212]

That's it, next given opportunity, I'm gathering a group of rocker bronies to do a cover of this at a talent show or something. Who's with me?!?

[GowitheBeat]

This song is so amazing!

[Moothereporter]

DAT RIFF

[CaptainAlliance]

WTF IS A BGM???

[mmapp80]

@CaptainAlliance

background music

[DragoSonicMile]

@CaptainAlliance, Back Ground Music.

[CaptainAlliance]

@DragoSonicMile I know. But what's a YTPMV?

[DragoSonicMile]

@CaptainAlliance, You Tube Poop Motion Video

[DragoSonicMile]

@CaptainAlliance, *music, not motion, sorry.

[CaptainAlliance]

@DragoSonicMile So what's difference between PMVs and AMVs???

[DragoSonicMile]

@CaptainAlliance, Pony Music Video as opposed to Anime Music Video

[CaptainAlliance]

@DragoSonicMile That was horrible grammar, and whaaaaaaaa?

[DragoSonicMile]

@CaptainAlliance. "horrible grammar"? You didn't have a problem with that in my previous comments.

PMV stands for "Pony Music Video".

AMV stands for "Anime Music Video".

[CaptainAlliance]

@CaptainAlliance Restate your comment which I replied to. I didn't understand it well. JK about the "horrible grammar* thing, *brohoof*?

[Fenderbaby2]

@CaptainAlliance youttube poop music video

[legendoflegaiarocks]

@Infinitydash is it all right if I use this video for my video of me singing this song

[legendoflegaiarocks]

Infinitydash is it all right if I use this video for my video of me singing this song

[ChromaAurora]

I know the lyrics have been taken out (well, not including the subtitles), but I think I've listened to the original song so many times that I can swear my mind can perceive them actually singing in this track.

[DaneGraphics]

PLEASE can you tell me how you did this.

[infinitydash]

@DaneGraphics Sure! The music was ripped by isolating the L & R audio channels from the 5.1 surround sound mix of the show, using Audacity 1.3.13. (The center channel contains voice - mute this and 90% of the time you're left with a clean music/sfx-only track). The karaoke lyrics were done in Sony Vegas.

[DaneGraphics]

@infinitydash Thanks, where would you find a 5.1 version of the show?

[SelfEsteemFund11]

@infinitydash It can also be done with stereo at the cost of most lower mid-range and bass. It sort of requires - to touch + and + to act as - to other +

[Hakamarusan]

@infinitydash Please...for the love of god...WORK IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY! So Awesome! (\>o</)

[FreshApplePieOnXBL]

god knows how the hell they composed this

[VattonageRanger231]

@FreshApplePieOnXBL that has a name...

some say he makes the best cartoon music to date...

All we know is his Daniel Ingram!

[mew15845]

I saw derpy's sister! She has purple eyes. X3

[Hakkun9872]

The goal of their group works only for them. Put it to somethin like...I dunno, Power Rangers, and the whole theme song is like: "We are the Super Mark Power Rangers! On a quest to find out who we are! Kickin butt and doin hero stuff, wherever we are! Shalalalalalaaa!! AAAAAA!!"xD

Director: Fund it.

[PaperMario15]

I really liked the original version; I honestly expected the crowd to cheer after it. All the fillies were actually very good at what they did, the only problem was how Scootaloo started going off-key at the end. Hearing it with Sweetie Belle's vocals probably would have been better, but I can't see them redoing this song (Not in any canonical product, anyhow). That would be an extraordinary way for them to get their cutie marks though.

[billibu]

After I watched the original, I was thinking how awesome this song could be if only it were sung without purposely butchering the vocals. This video is a good step in the right direction!

[MysticalChicken]

@billibu Check out AlisaBethification's cover of this song. It's the only one I've found so far that's actually on-key (i.e. doesn't try to sound like Scootaloo), and it sounds really good.

[palidan99]

I am dying to hear Sweetie Belle sing the vocals for this song, she has got some amazing pipes for such a young filly.

[TheSwede88]

The intro is one of the best I've ever heard

[LazyCrazyClown]

Holy crap... This is Overnight Sensation by Firehouse.

[Valtharr]

when they finally get their marks, they have to do a new version of this song, with all three of them doing what they can do best

[Gollum9993]

What other TV shows have music this awesome? Oh, that's right, NONE.

[DashunicornII]

this would have been amazing if sweetie bell was singing, please fix it in season 2!!!!!

[Furiouss06]

I signed the petition! HASBRO: please make the soundtrack a reality!!

[mario4kix898]

Sexy Applejack is disappointed at your pathetic attempt at singing this song.

[TheMonkeylad]

Thank you for this

[ShiningStardust1]

DAT GUITAR!!

[Kauaimon]

I heard the VA of Scootaloo is actually a really good singer, and was damn well pissed that she had to sing poorly for this part x3.

Imagining Sweetie Belle's good voice makes this song actually...pretty good.

[MissMegaSuperGirl]

Hello, I' m new at you tube and I like this video very much! :)

[CompoundBowShooter]

@VigorousjammerX

DO IT!! :D

[razer3230]

The guitar parts remind me of Fade To Black by Metallica.

[VigorousjammerX]

somebody needs to use this and post a well-sung version of the song somewhere, lol. I'd do it, but i'm a guy and don't have a girly-enough voice.

I still might do it anyway...

[DjKlzonez]

Don't you have a vocal only version?

[stuntman021]

@DjKlzonez invert this version and overlay it on the original and bam: vocals

[Curttehmurt]

Proof that this song would be awesome if Scootaloo didn't suck at singing

[Flugabwehrkanone]

@Curttehmurt This song is awesome DESPITE the fact that Scootaloo sucks at singing.

[DoubleMoonz]

Elton John would be proud

[SilferIII]

is my eyes fooling me or I see two Dr. Hooves in the audience..

[neonal18]

@SilferIII With his abilities, is it any shock?

[BaconStein]

Wow, the instrumental sounds really cool. It gives me hope that someday there will be a proper vocal version. Too bad they couldn't find 80's drums, though.

[SyriusBelsferg]

Jesus... music which is a perfect homage to all the awesomeness that the 80's was, and ponies?

Together?

I'd cry manly tears if not for the sheer amount of win this video is.

[exranio]

I actually like scootaloo's singing. It fits the song anyway.

[SUPERVANMAN64]

I'm a 20 year old straight male, and I just sang along with this song.

I am the pinnacle of manliness, no?

[Katieboo1996]

sigh, if only they got their cutie marks

[neonal18]

@Katieboo1996 They couldn't though; rather than doing their special talent, they were doing what they were just about worst at.

[Katieboo1996]

@neonal18 yeah with Scootaloo being choreography, Sweetie Belle as the lead singer, and Apple Bloom with sets and props and costumes

[neonal18]

I could tell my brother(who is NOT a brony)that this song was from a My Little Pony show and there is no way he would believe me. That's how awesome this song is.

[4AfterTheFact]

When we finish the Winter Wrap Up singalong collab, we NEED to have a singalong with this song.

[Blaze1289]

@RoboLime Damn you, Mr. Bean. Foiled again.

[Blaze1289]

I wonder who played the instruments for the backing music. And how would they with hooves?

[stevethepocket]

@Blaze1289 Given the number of times characters have spontaneously broken into song with full accompaniment, I'm partial to the fan theory that Equestria just magically supplies backup music for such things.

[CuteHugo1]

oh this is great, what software did you used?

[Rachman1337]

Sweetie Bell is pretty dang cute in that 80s outfit.

[Bandpuffs]

I can't help but sing along to this whenever I watch it.

[AQuickAlias]

I had really wanted to mash this up but I hadn't known how to approach it until now (like, do I use Scootaloo's vocal "contribution" or have the song as the backing track for another singer who isn't completely tone deaf?) ...but this really narrows it down. Thank you tons for posting this, by the way!

[MrAnalpfropfen]

@AQuickAlias So you will probably sacrifice your spare time and mash it up soon ? :3

[AQuickAlias]

@MrAnalpfropfen I'm working on it right now. I was going to make a high-energy mashup but the acapella I had originally chosen would have taken a lot of manual time-syncing for it to work and it was too long for the song anyway (surprise!)... solution: I found a different acapella! Plus it seems to work a lot better anyway, although I still have to sync everything up manually and it's more of a slow, emotional song than I had originally planned for it to be.

[MrAnalpfropfen]

@AQuickAlias Best luck for this, it sounds thrilling to me!

[someguy350]

I think the costume design was awesome

[MagicalSamurai2]

I sang this in my head with their voices xD

[Jeargle91]

That guitar is so filthy.

Time to learn this song. Quick! Someone who can read music write me some tabs!

[thecoolkid657]

@Jeargle91 Learn by ear brony... thats what i do

[ArnaudGrayVasquez]

...you know, their show really would have been fantastic if they'd stuck to their talents. I've designed stage sets and run concert lighting for years, and the coordinating elements they'd set up for this performance would have worked out fabulously if each filly hadn't been trying to manage the respective aspect of the show she was worst at executing.

A proper Take 2 - with Sweetie Belle on vocals, Scootaloo on choreography, and Apple Bloom on set design - would probably be just about perfect.
