The Smile Song[2] is a song featured in the episode A Friend in Deed. Dubbed "smile" by the My Little Pony crew, it is sung by Pinkie Pie, expressing her love of laughter, happiness, and friends while making her way around Ponyville with a great big smile. In the sequence, Pinkie can be seen greeting several ponies, cheering up sad fillies and helping Applejack paint her barn. By the end of the song a large crowd of smiling background ponies and the leading characters have gathered around Pinkie Pie. They all sing along for the finale of the song after which Pinkie Pie meets Cranky Doodle Donkey for the first time.
Production and re-use[]
The song was uploaded in mono sound to YouTube by user "Veronica Dela Cruz" on 7 November 2011 but removed soon after; the leak led to Hasbro "cracking down" on material released by the show's artists.[3]
The song has been released as a sing-along on the DVDs My Little Pony Friendship is Magic: Pinkie Pie Party[4] and My Little Pony Friendship is Magic: Season Two Disc 4 (where it is called "Smile, Smile, Smile!").
Music from the song is used in the Pinkie Pie's Cupcake Maker game on the Hub Network's website. An instrumental version can be heard on the title screen for the My Little Pony iOS and Android game.
In Pinkie Pride, Cheese Sandwich sings a short polka rendition of the song during The Goof Off. Spike also mentions the Smile Song by name in Sweet and Smoky. The song is also featured in Cakes for the Memories during reused footage from A Friend in Deed.
It is the third track of the Songs of Friendship and Magic soundtrack album, under the title The Smile Song. It also serves as the second of two bonus tracks of side B on the Luna variant of the vinyl album Magical Friendship Tour and the second track on the My Little Pony 2015 Convention Collection.
The instrumental version of this song can be heard in the Pinkie Pie-themed levels of My Little Pony: Puzzle Party.
Lyrics[]
- [Pinkie Pie]
- My name is Pinkie Pie (Hello!)
- And I am here to say (How ya doin'?)
- I'm gonna make you smile and I will brighten up your day
- It doesn't matter now (What's up?)
- If you are sad or blue (Howdy!)
- 'Cause cheering up my friends is just what Pinkie's here to do
- 'Cause I love to make you smile, smile, smile
- Yes I do
- It fills my heart with sunshine all the while
- Yes it does
- 'Cause all I really need's a smile, smile, smile
- From these happy friends of mine
- I like to see you grin (Awesome!)
- I love to see you beam (Rock on!)
- The corners of your mouth turned up is always Pinkie's dream (Hoof bump!)
- But if you're kind of worried
- And your face has made a frown
- I'll work real hard and do my best to turn that sad frown upside down
- 'Cause I love to make you grin, grin, grin
- Yes I do
- Bust it out from ear to ear let it begin
- Just give me a joyful grin, grin, grin
- And you fill me with good cheer
- It's true some days are dark and lonely
- And maybe you feel sad
- But Pinkie will be there to show you that it isn't that bad
- There's one thing that makes me happy and makes my whole life worthwhile
- And that's when I talk to my friends and get them to smile
- I really am so happy
- Your smile fills me with glee
- I give a smile I get a smile
- And that's so special to me
- 'Cause I love to see you beam, beam, beam
- Yes I do
- Tell me what more can I say to make you see
- That I do
- It makes me happy when you beam, beam, beam
- Yes it always makes my day
- Come on everypony smile, smile, smile
- Fill my heart up with sunshine, sunshine
- All I really need's a smile, smile, smile
- From these happy friends of mine
- [Choir and Pinkie Pie]
- Come on everypony smile, smile, smile
- Fill my heart up with sunshine, sunshine
- All I really need's a smile, smile, smile
- From these happy friends of mine
