4everfreebrony - Little Librarian (Don McLean ponified)

[@jiado6893]

I don’t know why the line “drop your numerous pens” amuses me so much. Especially when she uses a quill for everything.

[@4everfreebrony]

Was mostly referring to quills when saying "pens", lol. It was just to rhyme, really.

[@crossingplays2155]

First I thought of lol

[@ArsonGremlin]

I always sing the original

[@Cpt_JackSparrow]

Copies a little too much from Weird Al's cover, but it's executed very well.

[@thebronywiking]

Ponifying American Pie is the stuff of legends.

[@ZizzyDizzyMC]

The original song has a lot of meaning to it for me personally, as I grew up listening to the local oldies station. This was a song they played every night as they signed off in tribute to the original announcer at the station. Every day at the same time. Happy or sad I listened to it every night before going to bed. To hear it like this, is just extra oof. Makes it even more special realizing it was played at Brony Bash two weeks ago. Absolutely fantastic. I think this has just about the same effect on me as Chant of Immortality.

[@Lepestok_One]

Please, tell me what is the name of the original song? And who is the performer?

[@ZizzyDizzyMC]

​@@Lepestok_One Don McLean - American Pie. It's also known as The Day the Music Died. It was written in 1971 as a tribute to Buddy Holly and 2 others who died in a plane crash in 1959.

[@Lepestok_One]

@@ZizzyDizzyMC Thanks. Well, I thought American Pie was the title of the song. I thought people were writing about the film.

[@thecrimsoncommando3875]

I won't be here for the premiere, but this is one of my favorite songs of this album to listen to at work, especially alongside Even More Awesome Than Me. Gives me peace of heart and mind.

[@GreenLinzerd]

I can't believe he had to put a disclaimer for the "dragon slave" line because of certain people reading way too much into it.

[@LasairNova]

And here when I realize he put that in there, I couldn't stop laughing

[@arealconservative8712]

Where?

Wait where

[@Humphery1986]

[@GreenLinzerd]

@@arealconservative8712 ​ @jeremy greenwood In the chat replay. After the line appears, note how many people comment on it, including one person in particular who says something like "Considering the world we live in today, the writer of that line was very brave or very stupid, and I'm inclined to believe the latter." Then near the end of the song, 4everfree posts a message saying "it is a meme, I obviously did not intend any disrespect to black people or people whose family have been slaves."

[@West-rk7dz]

You've done it... You've finally made a version of this song better than Weird Al's version.. You sir, just broke a world record

[@tales9476]

As much as I love 4everfreebrony's work; I still think Weird Al's version is better.

[@4everfreebrony]

@@tales9476 His version is shorter, though. However, it is a classic. ^^

Don't you mean cheese sandwich's version ;-)

[@SamA-cw3be]

You beautiful bastard! I read your book!

[@eristoner2476]

To call this good is like calling work by JK Rowling, when nobody modify it great. I’m not joking, look up work by her when nobody messed with it. It is bad!

[@TheArcSet]

I adore your original songs and covers, but I'm always amazed when you rewrite something I would never have considered. Thanks for sharing this. Edit: "And a dragon slave." Someones been watching Dawn Somewhere ;) .

[@SKai2609]

Never thought i’d be so happy to see a ponified American Pie :)

[@Missy_Lib]

I’m playing all the cover songs for my mom while we’re in the car and they’re screwing with her mind. She grew up with the originals so she’s trying to sing them. It’s fun to watch. This is the only cover that messes with my mind a bit during the chorus, but I’m so used to these than the originals

[@onyxmage5146]

Jus by seeing the thumbnail already makes me feel sad and happy.

[@Vladpozitivniy]

I live in the far East and I will have 6:00 AM at the beginning of the premiere, even if I could listen to it in advance, but I want to feel the atmosphere so much that I will not sleep all night, waiting for perhaps one of the best songs of all time that I could hear

It never occurred to me until this song but it must have been pretty devastating to Celestia to send Twilight away so she could grow...

Twi is kinda like Christian Jesus from GOD of mlp universe.

[@seth2111]

this song had me laughing and tearing up in equal measures, well done!

[@TheCommenterDragon]

This was such a joy to listen too 4everfreebrony i love it, i especially love how the song literally tells the beginning of Twilight's story, everyone did a magnificent and fantastic job on this masterpiece, kudos to you all, thank you so much for making us smile.😊

[@StudioQuinnOfficial]

He's just popping legendary songs that'll be in the community for year and years. That's literally crazy.

[@pyglik2296]

Finally! Even though I've listen to this song many times recently I've still waited for it to be on KZbin and you had to make it almost last! It's definitely my favourite from the whole album, but I'll still wait for Many a Lifetime of course :)

[@michellegonzaga1716]

I had lost motivation to play the American Pie piano piece. Then this optimistic piece had not only gave me motivation to move on, but also the connection of this song to my own life, and got me moving! You did it once again, 4everfreebrony. You never cease to amaze us :’)

[@heatherrockwell9012]

Despite being a huge fan of your work, I somehow only just found this one, and I had the stupidest grin on my face throughout this whole song. Phenomenal work

[@RYMAN1321]

Loved this! Hard to believe the song is 50 years old now, and the show has been over for 2 now.

Thank you to the Spotify algorithm for bringing me from Aviator's "Open Your Eyes" to this channel and its wondrous content.

As always, it was a great pleasure to experience this with the community; Keep up the good work, I look forward to many more memories in the future.

[@BlueSpring3]

Not the first and hopefully not the last time I get to point out how much I love songs, that re-tell the events of an episode. Even if half of the songs are about the same one, the season 1 premier is simply where it all began for Twilight, her friends and the 4th generation in general. That was 10 years ago and I started being a fan 4 years ago, yet I feel so nostalgic for it. ^-^

[@adamcheck4941]

this song does a good job summing up the first few friendship is magic episodes but I think spike is more a brother to Twilight than a slave.

[@4everfreebrony]

I agree. "Dragon Slave" was just part of a meme from the Mentally Advanced Series.

[@spyreofthewolves8125]

Why is it that I can sing this, in the same key, with the same notes, as the original, but I can barely sing the original? This is beautiful, but I’d ruin it if I tried to do a cover of it. Well done as always.

[@rabidbunnyman1678]

This is an amazing homage to one of my favorite songs! I remember when I was very young, the original would always play on the radio while we traveled and I loved how it sounded even though I didn't understand it. Your version, while obviously different, still captures that nostalgia while adding some Season 1 FiM nostalgia as well. Fantastic job!

[@MusicalRainbow01]

First time listening, sounded weird with all the tones twisting here and there. Second time listening, ok I guess it's not too bad... The good part starts when the drumbeat kicks in. Third time listening + understanding the lyrics in detail, WOW ISN'T THIS JUST BEAUTIFUL. Awesome job with the lyrics, relating how Twilight was first advised to make friends other than just focusing on her studies. The Season 1 episode 1 & 2 memories all came back in just a single 8-minute song.
