Lyrics:
If it's groove you're looking for,
then you've come to the right place
Oh Octavia can't you see,
Classical is not the type for me
Now don't you look the other way,
cause this music's here to stay
Now wipe that grin right off your face
Cause it'll all be gone when you step into this place
So put down that cello and go grab the bass, cause we're swingin'
here tonight, this ain't no fancy music place.
You just gotta let it go, from everything that tells you no
Even if this is not your type of show, your type of show.
Now maybe you've learned a thing or two,
about how fast those hooves can groove
Now c'mon just take a chance,
these beats will put you in a trance
Now these things you just can't forget,
it would only bring regret
but there's one thing you must know
we can't stop this crowd from stomping on this floor
So put down that cello and go grab the bass, cause we're swingin'
here tonight, this ain't no fancy music place.
You just gotta let it go, from everything that tells you no
Even if this is not your type of show, your type of show.
So put down that cello and go grab the bass, cause we're swingin'
here tonight, this ain't no fancy music place.
You just gotta let it go, from everything that tells you no
Even if this is not your type of show, your type of show, just let it go.
What this song seems to be saying: that octavia has to realize that not everyone like classical, and she has to change up her moves.
What people have interpreted this song as: octavia annihilating changelings
did you see the music video?
_exactly_
Both?
Both is good!
Aye cuz you just watched that once upon a time in canterlot and your going based off of that
I gotta disagree on that one
This song kicks off with one of the best vocal yells ever. That “If its groove you’re looking FOOOOOOOOOOOR” was so strong but so stable, it sounded so great. If I ever get famous and get chance to sing a cover of any song, I want to sing this very first so I come out the gate swinging
Send me a link when you do, I wanna hear it!
im a performer and am thinking of choreographing a concert version of this song that breaks out into a brawl (will keep you updated if this happens)@@Joaftheloaf
please tell me how this is going im begging you@@BIRDWITCHE
Scuse me, just catching up on some pieces of music featured in Brony Polka Animated.
as much as I love once upon a time in canterlot the version in that video made me laugh so hard
Yea, that's def my favorite part of the video, i love that part of the cover :D
Guys, this vid is old.
@@ys_ashley3102 you don't say
@Absolbr Honeyheart What you want from me
7 years on and I still come back here. Would quite like to hear a remaster, one of the most memorable brony songs imo
Very true
8 years later and its still replaying in my head
When I listen to this, I imagine Octavia beating up changelings in Canterlot. Can't figure out why...
There's an animation of that
Yeah I was just watching it. Its catchy!
Are you for real?
@@cry1013 r/whooooosh
@@riksorvb694 that's both misspelled and an over-reaction
that would be 2 o's at most
Funny thing, I originally had a metal type guitar solo that I had completely written out for that part (I don't know why, it didn't fit one single bit). So I showed it too some friends, and they realized that solo obviously didn't work, and I wanted to the get the song out that day, so I quickly recorded an improvised clean solo and then put it up. If I could go back now, I would totally make that a saxophone solo :D
Saxophone Solo? That's sounds amazing! 😆
You should totally make one with a saxophone solo in it! I think it would fit really well with the groovy tune!
still after all these years im still listining to this song it still bops in 2024! also hope your doing well @Joaftheloaf
@@sylvyy3324 I am thanks! Yeah it was a fun time back in the day. I’m glad you still enjoy all my old music!
@@Joaftheloaf hope ye do return to makin more music id love to keep hearing it
Hello from 2020! Bronies not dead, until herd is alive.
Yess!!!!!!
*YEAH!*
Not a brony but whaddup
Space chanel /)
Yooo!
I was never that much into the brony fandom (I was quite young when the fandom was at its peak and I wasn’t fully speaking English, so I had no idea what a “fandom” could be) but after watching the Polka Homage to the fandom and the songs in it, I kinda wish I could’ve partaken in it more than just talking about it with my friends. I have such nostalgia for mlp gen 4, and honestly I’m so glad I got to at least watch the show in its prime.
Thank you for everything, mlp and brony fandom, and I hope gen 5 has equally good things in store for us!
yeah I was like 3 when this fandom was at its peak
me too...
at least we could still watch these masterpieces that hasb*o hasn't blocked yet...
Having listened to this one when I was like 14, and now being 10 years older, it certainly does feel pretty nice to come back to listen to it from times to times
Just wanted to share some appreciation, thank you for putting out something that has been part of my regular playlist and has literally seen me grow into a whole another person baha
Have a good one :)
Awww thanks :) I had just graduated high school when I put this out, and I now I turn 30 this year. It really is crazy how fast time flies lol.
"There Tables are Numbered for a Reason Honey, You Just Haven't Thought of it Yet"
did this song for the talent show at my school
AHHH DID YOU FILM IT?!?! :DDDDD
I dont know, I think the school films it. A lot of people were asking what the song name was because they liked it.
***** DID YOU WIN
audrie/ twilight No sadly, only popular people and teachers children won
aww
Came back here cuz I'm a bit stressed out. My school has been cancelled and we are having online assignments all next week due to the corona virus. My mom has health issues which means if she gets it she will most likely die or come close to dying. I wanted something happy and inspiring from my childhood and ended up back here after finding myself humming it randomly. I'm now cheered up about my situation and am going to try to be more positive. Sometimes life can be bad but I'm going to get through it. Love this song and thank you for making it. :)
Good luck with all your troubles and I hope you are doing well.
@@azurda7483 Thank you! I hope you are doing well too!
Funny thing, I'm in a situation that's also pretty bad because being a child in a relationship for 1 year where your stepmother has been abusing your father and hearing that you could be kiked out at any moment is pretty stressful , on a side note my dad is finaly divorced but is still in the fight for what was originally ours and what she stoll from us and still isn't giving back, I mean who steals a bike wich was a present to my 7 year old brother, shes just a peace of shit.
i hope shes okay
@@bobatea-4706 She's going through her last couple rounds of radiation the next two weeks and then she had one more surgery before she's done. She's doing well and will recover fully soon. This great news and me and my family are happy that nothing has gone seriously wrong so far. Thank you for hoping she's okay!
Who came here because of once upon a time in canterlot?
Me lol
+Exploshaun i did
me
The majority of people in the comments
i saw once upon a time in canterlot like the song and later i came across this
As a bassist who absolutely LOVES swing music, the concept of Octavia jamming a tasty swing bass groove just tickles my peach.
This, right here, this is what we need more of in the fandom, more diversity in our music instead of every single song being nothing but WUB WUB WUB.
Yeah
Yeah
And now in 2022 half the fan songs for other fandoms are electro-swing, ironic >w
I think this song was one of the biggest inspirations for me to start music the melody of this song has been in my head for years and always will thank you for this classic
Dude I NEED this on my spotify PLEASE 🥺 there are other really good mlp song creators out there with songs on Spotify but one of the GREATEST mlp fan made songs ISNT for some reason????
Omg i know it's been so long, but I'd love to see this remastered with better production and with the maturity and growth of the singers voice~ (if they still sing)
This song aged so well!
I don't know why, but every time i listen to this, i have the sudden urge to get up and just dance like i've never danced before. I must say good sir, you have done an AMAZING job on this song. I thank you very much for making a song that just puts a special kind of happy in me :)
Me too and I really CAN'T dance! This is one masterpiece of a song :)
This song is underrated.
Whenever the "You just gotta let it go" part plays, I just see the changeling getting chocked out and I just cant help but feel bad for the guy.
I could swear she's doing a sleeper on him not a choke
@@ryansavering4115 She is choking him, she only did it until he passed out, though.
@@6ix5up Well, it worked :v
Jfc how is this song 10 years old. I remember listening to this when it was new out, playing BO2 with friends and jamming yo joaftheloaf and vocalscore
After all these years I still come back to this song regularily to vibe for a bit.
Well, it hit a million. About time, too. Congrats!
This is great, there is a severe shortage of jazz in the community and you really knocked the ball out of the park with this one!
Fame got Joaftheloaf too late :(
I hope he's still doing great music somewhere beyond the fandom
Not doing music much more unfortunately. Just kind of got sucked into everyday life. It was super fun while it lasted though :D
@@Joaftheloaf I don’t wanna be that guy but is there a possibility you of releasing this bad boy on streaming services? If not I completely understand 🥲
@@supergamer2323 Maybe. I’d have to find the original files which are stored in a hard drive deep in my closet that I haven’t turned on in 8 or so years. If I ever do release my songs on streaming I’ll make a community post about it to let y’all know. I think there are free download links in the description still. Depending on your streaming service you might be able to add it to your playlist. I have a bunch of songs not on Apple Music natively that I have uploaded to it.
I can't believe you're still replying to comments :o
@@thebirdgang2240 I get notifications every now and again :)
So, lets put this to my "I can't stop listening to it" - music list. Very well done, love it!
1. This is amazing, and has been on repeat on my ipod for days.
2. I absolutely LOVE your voice too.
3. Thanks so much for putting all the links and the tabs and the midi up.
Even though this doesn't hold up as much after all these years I still love what it represents for me. When the fandom was at its height and these was so much passion for all the works being made makes me glad I got into the show when I did
I can't put into words how much I love this song. It evokes emotions that I can't possibly describe.
I love your voice, and music style. I've been singing to this for a little bit and I think I finally have found a style of singing that I'm actually good at. Thank you. You have inspired me, and given me hope. For that I have to thank you again.
Yes, this is a girly show. There is no point in try to arguing about it.
Its girly but have plot and charismatics characters, don't you all think its better to admit that is good even being girly than try to convince people that a show about colorfull ponies who has the magic of friendship isn't girly?
I like it. It girly, fuck it, i liki it anyway because even being girly this show have all the things that makes a show worth to watch.
***** not just opinions. Its a show about colorfull ponies and friendship and princesses and lessons etc... It's made for little girls, even being worth to watch cause everything i already pointed. Sorry guys but let's face the reality.
And go back to return of harmony and listen the dialog before discord get turned in stone... yeah...
The show is girly? Have you seen the season 4 finale? Now that was not girly :D
Trancolon, does it erase the entire serie? Just because there is a finale with a bit of action, don't ignore what i said first. Its about colorful talking ponies and the power of friendship...
Oh okay, so friendship isn't powerful?
Also: Rainbow factory
Well ain't this a blast from the past!
I remember listening to this constantly back in 2017.
This is one of if not the best pieces of music I've heard from the fandom. I will be buying your album. :)
SilvaGunner sent me here. I've watched MLP since 2012 and didn't know about this. It's well done! ^^
Hey, can i ask what video/post it was, please?
@@karas1342 Silvagunner uploads multiple times in the span of 24hrs. It's literally like finding a needle in a haystack to find it.
@@slusheewolf2143 oh, ok, understandble.
@MrZeratheMant thanks!
It's been ages since I last listened to this. But I still remember every note of it.
My Little Pony is my type of show !

today is exactly a decade since this got used in once upon a time in canterlot
aaaaaaa
And my channel was forever changed. Crazy it’s been 10 years
@@Joaftheloaf fast comment is fast! :o thanks for making this /)
hope everything's fine these days
Maybe it's the influence of Kanashii"s animation, but this song makes you feel like an action hero fighting a losing battle. Like, the good part of that feeling
I don't know if this is obvious, but I wonder if the "even if this is not your type of show" has a double meaning, in relation to I guess giving MLP itself the benefit of the doubt to watch.
2020 and this still bang's
2021 and it still bangs
2022 and its still a head banger
@@bloodmanipulator 2023 and octavias still banging changelings
(okay fuck that sounds really weird)
...I was going to sing this song during a timelapse in one of my let's plays... I now have the sobering realization of how badly I sing....
I understand your pain. ;-;
I don't know how, but I could provide a feminine voice for it. óFTó
I don't understand your pain, but I wanted to sympathize. ;-; *I am so lame*
ya know, im not even interested in mlp, but ... THIS IS AMAZING. really, you have no idea how hard it is for me to find this kind of jazz, especially GOOD jazz. nice work
And here's an archive of the best songs on a news site: www.equestriadaily.com/2016/06/my-little-pony-eqd-spotlight-music.html#disqus_thread
this song is musical genius. I wish I could come up with something like this. truly and honestly this is one of THE BEST SONGS I HAVE EVER HEARED!!!!
10 years later and it still is so good
Joaf you probably won't even see this but nevertheless, i absolutely LOVE your voice. It sounds absolutely fantastic. If you released like an album, I would buy it and I wouldn't be the only one. You have an amazing voice and I can't even fathom how muc I love it. Don't stop singing
You are the main character of one of my favorite video games ever. I just wish Gaben would released the third one...
Taking a nostalgia trip through my "Fav'd Music" playlist, and yep, this one still f'n slaps. 💗
I really like this swing-jazz-upbeat kind of style to this. So good. Well done, sir. For the first song I've ever heard of your work, I'd say you've won over another listener.

Hello there lad
This is something we can be boomers about
in 10 years we'll be even bigger boomers about it
@@olserknam we'll all be in nostalgia ocean
Man I was ten and vibed to this 4 years later and came back to it ah the good old times
This upsets me greatly, I wish it wasn't so old. I can actually remember the time I first watched this. After 5 years, I still love this song. :D
This song has recently just put me into a type of trance, I can't stop listening to it or moving to its groove.
Fucking amazing. Best thing to come out of this fandom hands down. Once Upon a Time in Canterlot is also a brilliant video to go along with this. A revamped version of the video should be made that covers the entire song and maybe improves the animation a bit.
Hello from 2023, Bronies? Yea, their still as alive as ever!
hard to believe its been what? 4? 5 years of mlp?
Technically it's been six years of generation 4 now. MLP has been around for a few decades before it got REALLY popular. Though, at least we know when the show ends...
Then Generation 5 will start! =D
It's 5 years, but it'll be 6 in excatly...
lemme do some math...
49 days.
+Crimson Ichor I understand the MLP franchise had been around far longer, heck, it started with toys if I'm not mistaken
By the way, it's now 23 days!
Yay.
if its groove your looking for then you've come to the right place (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Goddamn, this community makes some really good songs, no matter what genre! Classic Rock, Dubstep, Swing, Techno, IT'S ALL SO FUCKING GOOD!!!
Love it! been quite a while since i've heard someone make swing in our current time. always loved swing :)
People say MLP is a girls thing, no, they just don't understand.
Also, Brohoof anyone...? /)
:D
***** Not at all.
***** Of course not. There wouldn't BE fan content if the show itself didn't have so many fans...
yes and *brohoof*
this is a great song man u got some hardcore talent keep up the good work this is so amazing
You've just gotta let it go...let it go, let it goooo, let it g-"No! You're not bringing that up! Get it out. Get it ouuut. Get this song out of my head. Get it out. Get it ouuuut. I'll sing anything else instead!"

i get that refrence
The only place I had ever heard this song at was once upon a time by kandashiipanda, so when I stumbled upon it here, I thought it was a ponified version of the song that KP used. Come to find out that this IS the song (s)he used!
Good job on making me think this was a professional song.
God. DAMNIT JOAF!!
Once I get a decent mic, I plan on doing vocal covers for a buttload of songs. I'm so totally covering this, AND Come Home Soon.

2021 never been a bronie but my god does this still slap hard
hate to break it to you but you might wanna change your pfp buddy
Some of us don't even watch the show, or have only seen a few episodes, I've seen 1st and half of the 2nd season, and have just been listening, watching and browsing Music, Video's and Artwork.
Oh wow the bass tabs are really easy! I could never multi task by playing my bass and sing at the same time, but this may be an exception... YAY! :D Awesome music by the way!
Dude I need to find the chord changes for this, amazing song that would also make an amazing backing track for sax soloing
idk what it is about this song
but it makes me wanna scream the lyrics
Never have i wanted something on spotify more!
I remember playing this while i was taking over an outpost in Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon; it must have been the first time i applied music to anything, and it felt amazing
I love this so much! Swing and Jazz are two of my favorite music genres! So happy to see ponies in it now! Hope to see more like this in the future
This song doesn't have any right to be this good
Such a lovely composition.
I'm usually not so hot on this type of music, but damn, this is awesome! You, sir, have earned yourself a fav and a sub. ^^
Brilliant! Your voice is one of a kind and you've got some serious talent. Outstanding!
I have the strangest feeling that this was written with Vvnil Scratch's POV in mind. Great song btw, no idea what it's about but well written and well sung either way!
for some reason i have the urge to beat the s**t out of a changeling.
I think this might be my favorite fan made mlp song.

Were this professionally produced, you'd recieve praise from all over. You still have my support! :)
Adding to that, this was an amazing step into swing music, I certainly felt something moving me there
So freaking catchy and awesome.
2019... anyone else?

Still a cornerstone of Brony music in 2022.
This song always drags me back into this fandom. Just when I think I’ll leave it alone for a while I randomly remember this song and I’m back to square one lol
Octavia swinging on a swing while the singer sings about swing music.
*Sips tea* perfect
Be back in 10 years
Was not expecting to find such a good song in a fandom I don't really like. Not saying I don't like bronies, but the MLP fandom is a bit...
Anyway, my opinions don't matter. What does matter is that this is a good song. As others in the comments will point, it could use a little work and could certainly still be improved (by doing things such as increasing the volume of the piano, fixing the high-hat, and maybe even writing smoother lyrics), but it's still a great song. Cheers, mate!
There are actually a lot of good artist who make songs like these.. You should look up NightMare night or Sonic Rainboom or Awoken etc. and I think Bronys and Pegasisters do a lot cause we get pushed around all the time from liking the show.. Like damn can I not watch what I want to watch? Anyway, thanks for being cool about it :3
rlgreen735 Np. I like music because it is one of the few art forms that can connect people who don't necessarily share the same interests, as is the case here. Right on!
Patrick Elliott Haha, I love music.. But I like more Dubstep and Remixes. They are so awesome! (well, in my opinion that is XD) But I truley love music period. I sing, but not in front of peeps XD
rlgreen735 Gosh, I stopped trying to sing a while ago because I'm honestly not good. But yeah, I like some dubstep. I mean, not all of it, but nobody likes all of everything. I think the stigma against dubstep is a bit unfair, because some of it sounds really awesome. Music is so great!
Patrick Elliott Fair enough, and im sure you still sound great =3
2024 here, let's go!!!
Like my brother said to me just now, this sounds like it could be another kind of theme for Big Band.
"Bring back the beat!"
I'm gonna use this in my intros and in future animations, I'm currently creating. This is the best! 11/10
This song is classy
Cool song
I ain't a diehard MLP fan, I just like all the music lol
Ayyy! We did it! Congrats on the million views! May you have a good time now as when you first uploaded this wonderful song.
Oh wow. 1 millions view. That's crazy.
I love this song, I listen to it a couple of times a week because I have it in my play list of the car and my mobile phone thanks for putting the direct download :) always be a fan of Joaftheloaf
Same dude, i actually sang this for a solo comp audition in high school
