I am the very pinnacle of Ponyville society (The Major General's song parody)

Earflaps wanted this! I also believe it is his birthday today? If I'm wrong, who cares? It's still a nice gift that I totes PROMISED I'd do. (Plus I love dem lyrics.)

Not a good parody in the by the book definition since it, like others before it, misses the complete point of the song.

Hint: The Modern Major General as described in the original song is good at everything except the very thing he's supposed to be good at.

Though it is a nice parody to listen to still, I just get a bit angry when people seem to completely miss the point of the song.

@LightandDark11 I know! His military knowledge, though pluck and adventury, has only been brought down to the beginning of the century. I wouldn't be able to sing patter songs if I hadn't done a few in my time. :)

And to be most laconic: any sort of Made Of Win-ful song

Is likely to be based upon the Modern Major General song,

I love it. Nice work :)

[ItsTheWhinyGuys]

Dem lyrics. XD

May I may a suggestion friend? "Anyone who says otherwise is merely acting laughable" -> "Any other claim is simply very laughable". Much less clunky I think. Otherwise I'm positively squealing in delight.

That was really good! Rarity is my favorite, so a song about her will always win in my book.
