This form of 'sung narrative' is actually quite rare in MLP. Even though some of the songs turn out to be describing narrative events in musical form, they are still orthodox songs in the end. This form of 'playing the scene to a tune', as we frequently see in works by composers like Andrew Lloyd Webber ('A New Argentina' from Evita is an example) is rarer in the show.

What's more is that it just works without damaging the flow of the narrative or impacting in suspension of disblief. It just reminds us again how good Daniel Ingram and Amy Keating Rogers are in the compsition/lyicist/scriptwriter combination.
