The "Piggy Dance Song" Was From Season One


A bit of minor song news this time around.  First off we have some official names for the two ("Piggy Dance" and "Happy Monthiversary"), so write those down if you plan to remix them!

Second off, "Piggy Dance" was actually part of "The Best Night Ever" in season one, but got cut due to time restrictions.  Hopefully the finale in season two is a full on multi-parter, or better yet, an hour long special.  Can you handle that much pony?

Hmm, it just seems weird thinking of the Piggy Dance song being used in the S1 Finale

"Can you handle that much pony? "

How dare you question my pony handling ability. You know darn well I can handle ALL the pony. :)

blitzthedragon said...

Dammit, don't inflate our expectations!

LanceArrow said...

I don't think anyone can handle that much pony.

But we WILL try.

blitzthedragon said...

@PhantomBadger I can see it, actually. She'd do it out of desperation after the Pony Pokey fails.

Thar said...

uh, how in the wide world of pony would PIGS fit into season one in any way? Only fit in this episode because it was meant to be random.

DeeperMadness said...

Where on earth could the piggy song fit? You don't think she had a full playlist to follow up The Pony Pokey, do you?

Dantes_Grill said...

I wonder where in S1 it would be =/. It was well fitted in to this episode though.

"Can you handle that much pony?" Challenge accepted! Bring it on!

Figment said...

I don't see how Piggy Dance would have fit at all in The Best Night Ever. Unless by "season 1 finale", he means the Discord episodes. That was originally intended to be the finale.

ZeroHero said...

Season Two finale should be epic like the it's starter. Can they top Discord? We shall see. :P

Lorventus said...

Can I? Maybe. Probably not, that much pony. My mind will be blown.

Inkwell Pony said...

An entire hour of pony? How would we handle it?! I mean we only spend the entire day beforehand watching marathons for hours upon hours upon hours... I don't know how we could handle a full hour of new pony after that. ^^

Jelfes said...

Hmmm, interesting. I don't think I ever could have placed the Piggy Dance Song in any other scenario, not mentally at least, I'm sure that Studio B could pull it off.

Jordan said...

"Piggy Dance" could have been in the "Best Night Ever" episode as a song Pinkie sings spontaneously for the upper-class ponies at the Gala.

mycutiemarkisagun said...

yea i don't get how it fits into the gala either o_O

Harwick said...

Well, "The Piggy Dance" is kind of like "The Chicken Dance", which actually does get done at formal functions like family weddings, so I could see it as the kind of embarrassing party fun that Pinkie might try to get the uptight Gala folks involved in.

ombutescentdin said...

Yes, well now we know!

CityFlyer502 said...

Can we handle this much pony? Probably. Not sure how many of us would make it out alive though. And as for the "Piggy" song, I am in a fit of giggles just picturing Pinkie trying to get the gala crowd dancing to that.

Ten said...

I don't think I can ever have enough pony. Would have been interesting to see the Piggy song played at the Gala. But then again it was well suited for this episode. Everything happens for a reason ;)

Victory Star said...

I can totally take that much pony. Bring on teh awesome!

Harwick said...

And on a side note, I am so thrilled to have the blogger commenting system back to the way it was without that damn extra window to comment. Kudos on getting all of that worked out!

Smashmatt202 said...

That Piggy Dance song would have been PERFECT if it was used for The Grand Galloping Gala! Instead we got the Pony Pokey... Eh.

Dionysus said...

Hm I have 2 things to say:
1.) The Piggy Song doesn't really fit with the Gala in my opinion, it's too childish for that, so I'm happy that it was cut and instead used where it is more fitting.
And with "childish" I don't mean anything negative, it's simply the feeling of the song in the context of the episode.

2.) I have to really praise the makers of MLP:FiM again, normally this executive meddling is a bad thing for any show, but here they actually improve the show.
Like this song for example. Or the current mane 6 compared to their early prototypes. Pinkie as an earth pony and Fluttershy as a pegasus really adds something to their character. Same with Rainbow Dash, seeing how important that rainbow-theme is to her character.

Mike said...

good that they did this: it fits better in this ep.

Beatfox said...

@Smashmatt202
He didn't say that Pony Pokey replaced Piggy Dance, only that Piggy Dance was cut due to time. It sounds like it would've appeared in addition to Pony Pokey.

Smashmatt202 said...

Well, yeah, he didn't replace one song for another, I'm just saying that the Pony Pokey would have been the most appropriate time to use the Piggy Dance, since Pinkie was trying to liven things up.

mrjoshmacintosh said...

I'm gonna guess it was supposed to be at the beginning where she is bouncing around on the trampoline.

Princess Luna said...

I deal with many rich, vexating ponies Sethisto, if that is what you're asking everypony.

Twilight Sparkle said...

I love piggy pie and yes I can handle that much pony!

Al_Skylark said...

Am I the only one who thinks that it would have been HILARIOUS to see Pinkie singing the piggy dance with all the snobby ponies? XD
OINK OINK OINK

Ahiam94 said...

Oh man it would be so awesome if the second season had an hour long special season finale.

shadowfalcon76 said...

The Piggy Song got me to LOL heartily, and just increased my love for Pinkie by +2000. It was just hilariously adorable.

Is the Cake Really a Lie? said...

@PhantomBadger
Pinkie singing to get the party going?

yoshipwns13 said...

If I just stayed all of last night (15 and a half hours) on a livestream showing all but 7 pony episodes (including the new one) then I think that one measely hour won't hurt anything

ItsOkImAwesome said...

imho good thing they cut it out

fits in this episode much better ^^

BadMan171 said...

Hour long special? YES. Especially if it was a musical or something.

Destroyer said...

Can I handle that much pony i need more pony I LIVE PONY! *Don't ever question my pony handling skills!!!*

Roderick said...

No. My body isn't ready. In fact it was never ready since i began to watch this marvelous show.

Twifight Sparkill said...
