Laughter Song

The Laughter Song is a song from the second episode of the first season of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic, and the first song of the series. It is sung by Pinkie Pie when she and her friends travel through the Everfree Forest in search of the Elements of Harmony.

When Pinkie's friends are frightened by a grove of trees that are enchanted by Nightmare Moon to give them scary faces, Pinkie sings the song to show them that fear can be defeated just by laughing at it–a lesson that would lead Twilight Sparkle to realize that Pinkie embodied the element of laughter.

Daniel Ingram composed the Laughter Song to Lauren Faust's lyrics as a demo for Hasbro Studios. A video of the song is available on Hasbro's website. Music from this song is used in the Swarm of the Parasprites game on The Hub's website. The song is also included in the My Little Pony Live Show.

Lyrics

 * [Pinkie Pie]
 * When I was a little filly and the sun was going down...


 * Twilight Sparkle: Tell me she's not...


 * [Pinkie Pie]
 * The darkness and the shadows, they would always make me frown


 * Rarity: She is.


 * [Pinkie Pie]
 * I'd hide under my pillow
 * From what I thought I saw
 * But Granny Pie said that wasn't the way
 * To deal with fears at all


 * Rainbow Dash: Then what is?


 * [Pinkie Pie]
 * She said: "Pinkie, you gotta stand up tall
 * Learn to face your fears
 * You'll see that they can't hurt you
 * Just laugh to make them disappear."


 * Ha! Ha! Ha!


 * Ponies: [gasp]


 * [Pinkie Pie]
 * So, giggle at the ghostly
 * Guffaw at the grossly
 * Crack up at the creepy
 * Whoop it up with the weepy
 * Chortle at the kooky
 * Snortle at the spooky


 * And tell that big dumb scary face to take a hike and leave you alone and if he thinks he can scare you then he's got another thing coming and the very idea of such a thing just makes you wanna... hahahaha...heh...


 * Laaaaaaauuugh!
