Cutie Mark Crusaders Song

The Cutie Mark Crusaders Song is featured in The Show Stoppers. Apple Bloom and Scootaloo follow the sound of Sweetie Belle's singing, and ask her what's the tune she's singing. She tells her fellow Cutie Mark Crusaders it's their theme song, and that she only composed a part of it. Later, Scootaloo completes the song, and the Crusaders perform it in a talent contest in hopes of getting their cutie marks. Through most of the act the crowd stands slack-jawed, then bursts into laughter once it's concluded. While the Crusaders don't get their cutie marks, the performance wins them the prize for best comedy act. After being used on the show, the instrumental of the song was used in Olaf in Love, the twenty-third episode of the first season of Pound Puppies, another show which Daniel Ingram provides music for. Daniel Ingram describes the song's style on his website as "Cheesy 80's with 3 out of tune soloists". The song's melody is a quasi-perfect amalgam of the 80's hits (I Just) Died in Your Arms and Holding Out For A Hero, with an opening piano riff very reminiscent of the beginning of Don't Stop Believin'.

This song is BMI Work #13250914.

Lyrics

 * [Scootaloo]
 * Look, here, are three little ponies,
 * Ready to sing for this crowd,
 * Listen up, 'cause here's our story
 * I'm gonna sing it


 * [Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom, and Scootaloo]
 * Very loud!!!!!!!


 * [Scootaloo]
 * When you're a younger pony
 * And your flank is very bare
 * Feels like the sun will never come
 * When your cutie mark's not there


 * So the three of us will fight the fight
 * There is nothing that we fear
 * We'll have to figure out what we'll do next


 * [Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom, and Scootaloo]
 * Till our cutie marks are here!


 * We are the Cutie Mark Crusaders
 * On a quest to find out who we are
 * And we will never stop the journey
 * Not until we have our cutie marks


 * [Scootaloo]
 * They all say that you'll get your mark
 * When the time is really right
 * And you know just what you're supposed to do
 * And your talent comes to light


 * But it's not as easy as it sounds
 * And that waiting's hard to do
 * So we test our talents everywhere


 * [Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom, and Scootaloo]
 * Until our face is blue


 * We are the Cutie Mark Crusaders
 * On a quest to find out who we are
 * And we will never stop the journey
 * Not until we have our cutie marks


 * We are the Cutie Mark Crusaders
 * On a quest to find out who we are
 * And we will never stop the journey
 * Not until we have our cutie marks!!
