Lyrics:
If it's groove you're looking for,
then you've come to the right place
Oh Octavia can't you see,
Classical is not the type for me
Now don't you look the other way,
cause this music's here to stay
Now wipe that grin right off your face
Cause it'll all be gone when you step into this place
So put down that cello and go grab the bass, cause we're swingin'
here tonight, this ain't no fancy music place.
You just gotta let it go, from everything that tells you no
Even if this is not your type of show, your type of show.
Now maybe you've learned a thing or two,
about how fast those hooves can groove
Now c'mon just take a chance,
these beats will put you in a trance
Now these things you just can't forget,
it would only bring regret
but there's one thing you must know
we can't stop this crowd from stomping on this floor
So put down that cello and go grab the bass, cause we're swingin'
here tonight, this ain't no fancy music place.
You just gotta let it go, from everything that tells you no
Even if this is not your type of show, your type of show.
So put down that cello and go grab the bass, cause we're swingin'
here tonight, this ain't no fancy music place.
You just gotta let it go, from everything that tells you no
Even if this is not your type of show, your type of show, just let it go.
What this song seems to be saying: that octavia has to realize that not everyone like classical, and she has to change up her moves.
What people have interpreted this song as: octavia annihilating changelings
did you see the music video?
_exactly_
Both?
Both is good!
Aye cuz you just watched that once upon a time in canterlot and your going based off of that
I gotta disagree on that one
This song kicks off with one of the best vocal yells ever. That “If its groove you’re looking FOOOOOOOOOOOR” was so strong but so stable, it sounded so great. If I ever get famous and get chance to sing a cover of any song, I want to sing this very first so I come out the gate swinging
Send me a link when you do, I wanna hear it!
im a performer and am thinking of choreographing a concert version of this song that breaks out into a brawl (will keep you updated if this happens)@@Joaftheloaf
please tell me how this is going im begging you@@BIRDWITCHE
Scuse me, just catching up on some pieces of music featured in Brony Polka Animated.
as much as I love once upon a time in canterlot the version in that video made me laugh so hard
Yea, that's def my favorite part of the video, i love that part of the cover :D
Guys, this vid is old.
@@ys_ashley3102 you don't say
@Absolbr Honeyheart What you want from me
Who came here because of once upon a time in canterlot?
Me lol
+Exploshaun i did
me
The majority of people in the comments
i saw once upon a time in canterlot like the song and later i came across this
When I listen to this, I imagine Octavia beating up changelings in Canterlot. Can't figure out why...
There's an animation of that
Yeah I was just watching it. Its catchy!
Are you for real?
@@cry1013 r/whooooosh
@@riksorvb694 that's both misspelled and an over-reaction
that would be 2 o's at most
Funny thing, I originally had a metal type guitar solo that I had completely written out for that part (I don't know why, it didn't fit one single bit). So I showed it too some friends, and they realized that solo obviously didn't work, and I wanted to the get the song out that day, so I quickly recorded an improvised clean solo and then put it up. If I could go back now, I would totally make that a saxophone solo :D
Saxophone Solo? That's sounds amazing! 😆
You should totally make one with a saxophone solo in it! I think it would fit really well with the groovy tune!
did this song for the talent show at my school
AHHH DID YOU FILM IT?!?! :DDDDD
I dont know, I think the school films it. A lot of people were asking what the song name was because they liked it.
***** DID YOU WIN

***** Not at all.
***** Of course not. There wouldn't BE fan content if the show itself didn't have so many fans...
yes and *brohoof*
This, right here, this is what we need more of in the fandom, more diversity in our music instead of every single song being nothing but WUB WUB WUB.
Yeah
Yeah
And now in 2022 half the fan songs for other fandoms are electro-swing, ironic >w
Yes, this is a girly show. There is no point in try to arguing about it.
Its girly but have plot and charismatics characters, don't you all think its better to admit that is good even being girly than try to convince people that a show about colorfull ponies who has the magic of friendship isn't girly?
I like it. It girly, fuck it, i liki it anyway because even being girly this show have all the things that makes a show worth to watch.
***** not just opinions. Its a show about colorfull ponies and friendship and princesses and lessons etc... It's made for little girls, even being worth to watch cause everything i already pointed. Sorry guys but let's face the reality.
And go back to return of harmony and listen the dialog before discord get turned in stone... yeah...
The show is girly? Have you seen the season 4 finale? Now that was not girly :D
Trancolon, does it erase the entire serie? Just because there is a finale with a bit of action, don't ignore what i said first. Its about colorful talking ponies and the power of friendship...
Oh okay, so friendship isn't powerful?
Also: Rainbow factory
Came back here cuz I'm a bit stressed out. My school has been cancelled and we are having online assignments all next week due to the corona virus. My mom has health issues which means if she gets it she will most likely die or come close to dying. I wanted something happy and inspiring from my childhood and ended up back here after finding myself humming it randomly. I'm now cheered up about my situation and am going to try to be more positive. Sometimes life can be bad but I'm going to get through it. Love this song and thank you for making it. :)
Good luck with all your troubles and I hope you are doing well.
@@azurda7483 Thank you! I hope you are doing well too!
Funny thing, I'm in a situation that's also pretty bad because being a child in a relationship for 1 year where your stepmother has been abusing your father and hearing that you could be kiked out at any moment is pretty stressful , on a side note my dad is finaly divorced but is still in the fight for what was originally ours and what she stoll from us and still isn't giving back, I mean who steals a bike wich was a present to my 7 year old brother, shes just a peace of shit.
i hope shes okay
@@bobatea-4706 She's going through her last couple rounds of radiation the next two weeks and then she had one more surgery before she's done. She's doing well and will recover fully soon. This great news and me and my family are happy that nothing has gone seriously wrong so far. Thank you for hoping she's okay!
I was never that much into the brony fandom (I was quite young when the fandom was at its peak and I wasn’t fully speaking English, so I had no idea what a “fandom” could be) but after watching the Polka Homage to the fandom and the songs in it, I kinda wish I could’ve partaken in it more than just talking about it with my friends. I have such nostalgia for mlp gen 4, and honestly I’m so glad I got to at least watch the show in its prime.
Thank you for everything, mlp and brony fandom, and I hope gen 5 has equally good things in store for us!
yeah I was like 3 when this fandom was at its peak
me too...
at least we could still watch these masterpieces that hasb*o hasn't blocked yet...
This song is underrated.
I don't know if this is obvious, but I wonder if the "even if this is not your type of show" has a double meaning, in relation to I guess giving MLP itself the benefit of the doubt to watch.
This is something we can be boomers about
in 10 years we'll be even bigger boomers about it

Having listened to this one when I was like 14, and now being 10 years older, it certainly does feel pretty nice to come back to listen to it from times to times
Just wanted to share some appreciation, thank you for putting out something that has been part of my regular playlist and has literally seen me grow into a whole another person baha
Have a good one :)
Awww thanks :) I had just graduated high school when I put this out, and I now I turn 30 this year. It really is crazy how fast time flies lol.
hard to believe its been what? 4? 5 years of mlp?
Technically it's been six years of generation 4 now. MLP has been around for a few decades before it got REALLY popular. Though, at least we know when the show ends...
Then Generation 5 will start! =D
It's 5 years, but it'll be 6 in excatly...
lemme do some math...
49 days.
+Crimson Ichor I understand the MLP franchise had been around far longer, heck, it started with toys if I'm not mistaken
By the way, it's now 23 days!
Yay.
if its groove your looking for then you've come to the right place (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Dude I NEED this on my spotify PLEASE 🥺 there are other really good mlp song creators out there with songs on Spotify but one of the GREATEST mlp fan made songs ISNT for some reason????
Hello from 2023, Bronies? Yea, their still as alive as ever!
today is exactly a decade since this got used in once upon a time in canterlot
aaaaaaa
And my channel was forever changed. Crazy it’s been 10 years

...I was going to sing this song during a timelapse in one of my let's plays... I now have the sobering realization of how badly I sing....

2024 here, let's go!!!
Whenever the "You just gotta let it go" part plays, I just see the changeling getting chocked out and I just cant help but feel bad for the guy.
I could swear she's doing a sleeper on him not a choke
@@ryansavering4115 She is choking him, she only did it until he passed out, though.
@@cooldog8580 Well, it worked :v
Be back in 10 years
Fame got Joaftheloaf too late :(
I hope he's still doing great music somewhere beyond the fandom
Not doing music much more unfortunately. Just kind of got sucked into everyday life. It was super fun while it lasted though :D
@@Joaftheloaf I don’t wanna be that guy but is there a possibility you of releasing this bad boy on streaming services? If not I completely understand 🥲
@@supergamer2323 Maybe. I’d have to find the original files which are stored in a hard drive deep in my closet that I haven’t turned on in 8 or so years. If I ever do release my songs on streaming I’ll make a community post about it to let y’all know. I think there are free download links in the description still. Depending on your streaming service you might be able to add it to your playlist. I have a bunch of songs not on Apple Music natively that I have uploaded to it.

+RedsBoneStuff oh yeah
I know right, I like this song!
You mean back In the time when UA-cam wasn't a d**k to animators? Yeah, those were the times ~_~
for some reason i have the urge to beat the s**t out of a changeling.
I don't know why, but every time i listen to this, i have the sudden urge to get up and just dance like i've never danced before. I must say good sir, you have done an AMAZING job on this song. I thank you very much for making a song that just puts a special kind of happy in me :)
Me too and I really CAN'T dance! This is one masterpiece of a song :)
i remember one time when i was really young i was scrolling through the comments on this video and i saw a "clop parody" of this song. like it had clop-related lyrics instead of the normal ones? like... "put down that mag and go and grab your clop." something like that. me and my pals are desperately trying to find it right now. i think it's gone. if anyone has any leads about the elusive "clop parody" could you PLEASE message me i am desperate
As somepony who delved into the Clop Community hooves deep back in the day, manely the music (parodies) and fics - although, my memory is fractured and fissured because of melancholic nostalgia and my absent remiss (brainrot) - I only recall two most vividly and potently; "Cloppin' To The Ponies" by "Mic the Microphone" & the titular "Clopper" or "Secret Metal Clopper" by "Secret Metal"; however, these themes were parodies about the 'phenomenon' itself, rather than a shipped sapphic sordid romance about two musically inclined equines who "swing" or perhaps Tavi prefers to 'encore-solo' after a performance? [At least, that's how I'd interpret and infer the title in this context]
@@blackerscreenproductions1368 thank you brother. i appreciate it
There's a few pieces of constructive criticism I'd like to give about this. Firstly, after hearing the synaesthesia, I think the piano tune is really cool and jazzy and it's a shame it gets drowned out a bit. I think it may sound better even with just piano and vocals. Secondly, I think the lyrics could use a little work. They're good and far better than what I could do, but I think that perhaps they could be made to flow better. I'm not a musician though so who am I to judge.
Noah Gawthorn I love this song, but my biggest criticism (which I hope is constructive) is that the drums are far too busy and the high-hat sound is slightly off time. It sounds like it was written for a rock song but played on a jazz kit... which is a bit weird. My suggestion would be to tone it back, actually swing the beat and sort out the attack on the high-hat.
I would disagree with that, I think everything blends together very nicely. I don't think the jazzy feel to the music is drowned out all that much, though I can see where you're coming from.
It feels like a live recording of a show to me.
That's what I thought it was! I thought the link to the song would be to a live performance.
Foehammer
You don't need to be a musician to articulate your criticism.
What bugs me a bit is the message: the character singing this to or for Octavia doesn't want to even remotely listen to classical music, he doesn't want to give it any try, yet he practically demands Octavia to listen to his genre and let go of hers.
Quite arrogant and self-centered, not to mention passively dismissive of what differs from his type of music.
At least, these are the facts as I understand them.
I think this might be my favorite fan made mlp song.
She's now an apple developer
Really?@@joshuasauchak485
WAIT FOR REAL?!@@joshuasauchak485
Maybe it's the influence of Kanashii"s animation, but this song makes you feel like an action hero fighting a losing battle. Like, the good part of that feeling
After all these years I still come back to this song regularily to vibe for a bit.
still here listening to this masterpiece in 2021!!! who’s with me?
I am! Glad to see people still listening to it!
You've just gotta let it go...let it go, let it goooo, let it g-"No! You're not bringing that up! Get it out. Get it ouuut. Get this song out of my head. Get it out. Get it ouuuut. I'll sing anything else instead!"

Not bad! :D
Don’t get me wrong, this is a classic, but how the hell does it have so many views? I mean it is part of my personal music collection downloaded to my phone and I never skip it when it comes on so clearly I like it. I’m just surprised everyone else likes it to! I guess I’m just surprised that they do
Probably because of the “Once Upon a Time in Canterlot” animation
There's been a lot of stuff over the years that made it go up. Being features on Equestria Daily back in the day gave it some attention which led into the Animation that most people know it from. Afterwards it was featured in that Brony Polka animation that had a bunch of different songs and animations and that really set it over, especially as of recent.
As a bassist who absolutely LOVES swing music, the concept of Octavia jamming a tasty swing bass groove just tickles my peach.
Hey had anybody got here because of once upon in canterlot
yes i am
Oooooooohhh, definitely.
Me that vid was amazing btw :3 :)
I always tough it was only 30 sec.
Now im happy XD

2. I absolutely LOVE your voice too.
3. Thanks so much for putting all the links and the tabs and the midi up.
