Smile Song

And now, for your Pi Day enjoyment: Pinkie Pie's "Smile Song"! =D

As soon as I heard this song I knew I was going to have to make it on the drives, but the requests from @tehthirdperson, @LcplBronyUSMC, @RanmaYagami, et. al. definitely helped. This might be the last time I involve _me_ in a video though; I had to do multiple takes because I kept screwing up the floppy-signs or forgetting to push record, lol.

Hope this'll bring a smile to your face. For those of you not on the Pony Bandwagon: you're missing out. BUT, I'm looking at some power metal for the next epic song, so stay tuned.

I was helped greatly by the resources available at:

Something about this feels really profound in my head... this is strangely powerful in a way that's difficult to pinpoint... maybe it's that it's so raw, but... eh, I dunno. It's epic.

[Sammy1Am]

It may be different for you, but for me one of the more profound aspects is something about how creating music with objects not even remotely designed to be musical, sort of manages to cut through the distracting aspects and really focus on the music itself.

But... yeah, thanks! =)

[Nulono]

It's "How you doing?", not "Howdy!".

[Sammy1Am]

Might want to double-check that.  =P

Sounds like something c418 would hate, so regardless of whether this was written for a kids show, I guess it gets my approval ._.

[Sammy1Am]

Regardless of your unusual justification, thank you. ... I think.

How's this done? HOW'S THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?!

[Kopa Leo]

I got all tearful watching this... Because in my mind, I was picturing a lonely robot lost in deep space, playing this song again and again on its floppy drive, wanting to go home... *sob* And that's how Equestria was made...

[anakinfan12002]

Can you do "Edge of Night" from ROTK? That would be amazing. Or Misty Mountains!

[Mx726]

No idea what this is, but it's pretty awesome.
