  • This song predates MLP FIM, but I only came across this pretty recently. I was really thinking about the lyrics and thought about how I could picture Diamond Tiara singing it as a frustrated ballad towards her insufferable mother. I've been holding a grudge against the girl ever since she crossed the line in Flight to the Finish, but since she had her reformation arc, maybe it's about time I forgive her.
    This song is probably the hardest song I've sang to date. I even got a noise complaint while I was recording it. I was pretty nervous about how much falsetto I had to use, but I figure I've got to at least try. Hopefully it turned out tolerable.

    Lyrics:
    "I need to say something."
    "For the last time, child, do not associate with those lower class ponies. They are no good for you."
    [Verse 1]
    Do I believe that
    I could deceive them with my painted smile?
    Am I too haughty? What will it cost me?
    Does that make it alright?
    Shouldn't be wholesome, Told to be loathsome
    Deep down I'm a bit shy
    Why don't they like me, why don't they like me
    No matter how hard I try?
    [Pre-Chorus]
    I tried to be Diamond Tiara
    But all of their looks were too sad, ah
    What is this game that I'm part of?
    I've gone identity mad!
    [Chorus 1]
    I could be brown, I could be blue
    I could be violet sky
    I could be hurtful, I could be purple
    I could be anything you like
    Gotta be green, gotta be mean
    Gotta be everything more
    Why don't they like me? Why don't they like me?
    They all run for the door!
    "This attitude is quite unbecoming!"
    [Verse 2]
    This isn't like me, this isn't rightly
    living a life of disdain
    Put on a pedestal not theoretical
    All that it caused me was pain
    Why don't you like me, why don't you like me
    Grilling me all of the time
    Not gonna buy into what you're tryin to
    turn me into I'm just fine
    [Pre-Chorus]
    I want to be Diamond Tiara
    But all their looks were too sad, ah
    Now it is time for the new start of
    Going identity mad!
    [Chorus 2]
    I could be brown, I could be blue
    I could be violet sky
    I could be hurtful, I could be purple
    I could be anything you like
    Gotta be green, gotta be mean
    Gotta be everything more
    Why don't you like me? Why don't you like me?
    Walk out the door!
    [Bridge]
    Is that what you want? To satisfy yourself
    But you only want to put everypony else around you down
    You down
    [Chorus 2]
    I could be brown, I could be blue
    I could be violet sky
    I could be hurtful, I could be purple
    I could be anything I like
    Gotta be green, gotta be mean
    Gotta be everything more
    If you don't like me? If you don't like me?
    Walk out the door!
    [Chorus 2]
    I could be brown, I could be blue
    I could be violet sky
    I could be hurtful, I could be purple
    Not gonna be what you like
    Gotta be green, gotta be mean
    Gotta be everything more
    Now that I like me! Now that I like me!
    I'm gonna Walk out the door!
    "Well I never!"
    "Bite me, mother!"
    I don't own MLP or MIKA or being a terrible mother. Hasbro, if you come after me, I'll use my falsetto again to weaponize my cringe and break all the windows in your big black vans. MIKA.... we're cool, I like your song.

    Bravo Banquo I absolutely love it! Your vocals are totes phenomenal make no mistake about it! And I can see why you parodied this song it totally fits Diamond Tiara to a T!!!
    She only acted like the spoiled brat she was all because of her mother, But deep down all DT ever wanted was to be socially accepted and to be liked not because she was rich but because she was being herself.

    The problem with Diamond Tiara's reformation, arguably, is that it isn't built up over time, but rather is introduced in a single episode. And more importantly, after that episode, Diamond Tiara loses any and all relevance for the rest of the series.

      It woudlve been better as a two parter. Maybe like a sorta “hey this is the theme from now on for these charcters”
      And maybe building in some guilt.

      @@Fvntime Say it was how Season 6 opened, as the two parter that would help set the new status quo, especially since that's when the marked CMC episodes really began. It'd make more sense than what we got as the actual Season 6 premier.
