Talk:Equestria Girls (Cafeteria Song)/@comment-4626784-20130813044812

I rolled my eyes when I first saw this scene. It feels like something right out of a vintage '70s Hanna-Barbera cartoon ensemble, with a distinctive Josie and the Pussycats vibe. Maybe it's the ears and tails. Or heck, it's even reminiscent of Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids in a few spots.

Cheesy? Oh hell yes. But also kind of cool in a retro-cartoon-heritage sort of way, I suppose. The Pony team definitely knows its historical roots in animation, and it's fun to see them do little shout-outs to them in the show.

This song really didn't grab me at first. What's gonna come around, exactly? Seemed a bit slapdash to my prickly ears. At least, the first time. But as is so often the case with Daniel Ingram's songs, it started to grow on me, to the point that I can't get it out of my head. That interesting chord progression twist he pulls with the vocals during the final refrains is particularly catchy and borders on epic -- not a word I usually associate with a girls' cartoon.

DAMN you Daniel Ingram and your irresistible songs! I call HAXX! :-P
