One less Party Goer

Musical Number: This is the Greatest Party of all parties you have ever seen

Title: This is the Greatest Party of all parties you have ever seen
Lyrics by: The Meta
Tune: “I am the very Model of a Modern Major-General” by Gilbert and Sullivan, from the Pirates of Penzance
Listen to this:
“Slow version” If you want to try and sing along with it well, and don’t mind missing choral tunes.
“Fast version” If you want to try and sing along with it, or just show off...This has all the choral tunes though, not just the solo.
Note: Every word must be said/sung succinctly, with all it’s syllables, unless otherwise specified. Except sarsaparilla, say that the normal way; Pinkie says it that way. E.g. defilement--> de-fi-le-ment

Verse 1
Pinkie Pie:
This is the Greatest party of all parties you have ever seen,
With tonnes of stuff like big balloons, fun games and party guests so keen,
This party’s for your birthday my dear Fluttershy, so feel at home,
With all the greatest ponies out from Ponyville that I could comb.


It’s got the biggest food buffet that any pony’d ever need,
With cupcakes, punch ,cookies and sweets, for ev’rypony which to feed,
The drinks as well, we have a huge ginormous big variety,

“Hmm. What rhymes with variety? Ooh, I know!”

With sundaes, sarsaparilla, and some stuff for high society!

All guests:
With sundaes, sarsaparilla, and some stuff for high society!
With sundaes, sarsaparilla, and some stuff for high society!
With sundaes, sarsaparilla, and some stuff for high socie-cie-tyyy!!!

Pinkie Pie:
As you can see, the food is of the best in all of Ponyville,
The bev’rages that we’ve served up are sure to give you all a thrill,
In short, with stuff like big balloons, fun games and party guests so keen,
This is the Greatest party of all parties you have ever seen!

All guests:
In short, with stuff like big balloons, fun games and party guests so keen,
This is the Greatest party of all parties you have ever seen!!!

Verse 2
Pinkie Pie:
The decorations you can see are courtesy Rarity,
So let us all be grateful for her gift of gen’rous charity,
Say “thank you” for these banners, and these ribbons oh so colorful,
So vibrant and so cheerful, that they make us all feel wonderful.

And finally the party games that we have here are very fun,
They’ve winners and no losers, so they make us all feel number one,
With games like Treasure Hunt, and Apple Bobs for our beguilement,

“...What in Equestia rhymes with that?!”
“Oh no! The only word that rhymes with ‘beguilement’ is ‘defilement’! What am I going to do?!”
“*GASP* Got it!”

This party’s got so many things to do it’s so convenient!

All guests:
This party’s got so many things to do it’s so convenient!
This party’s got so many things to do it’s so convenient!
This party’s got so many things to do it’s so conveni-veni-eeent!!!

Pinkie Pie:
Oh come on reader what on Earth did you expect for me to say?
I couldn’t possibly have used ‘defilement’, but anyway,
In short, with stuff like big balloons, fun games and party guests so keen,
This is the Greatest party of all parties you have ever seen!!!

All guests:
In short, with stuff like big balloons, fun games and party guests so keen,
This is the Greatest party of all parties you have ever seen!!!

Verse 3
Pinkie Pie:
In fact, because this party is the party that has got it all,
The fairy lights, the streamers, and the ribbons that all line the wall,
As well as all the cooking that is sure to give you all a pudge,
Like birthday cake, and candy and all of the kinds of yummy fudge.

The range of recreational activities is quite a sight,
They’re here for your enjoyment and amusement, don’t you know that’s right,
And don’t forget the party guests whom I’ve invited here tonight,

“Hmm tonight, tooonight, toniiighht...Aha!”

They’ve come here just for you, dear Fluttershy, I’m sure, to your delight!

All guests:

We’ve come here just for you, dear Fluttershy, we’re sure, to your delight!
We’ve come here just for you, dear Fluttershy, we’re sure, to your delight!
We’ve come here just for you, dear Fluttershy, we’re sure, to your deli-deliiight!

Pinkie Pie:
This birthday party was thrown for you by yours truly Pinkie Pie,
To say a great big ‘Happy Birthday’ to you, my dear Fluttershy,
Because, with stuff like big balloons, fun games and party guests so keen,
This is the Greatest party of all parties you have ever seen!

All guests:
Because, with stuff like big balloons, fun games and party guests so keen,
This is the Greatest party of all parties you have ever seen!!!

Most of this song will be featured in Chapter 2, so if you enjoyed it...feel free to wait for the next chapter. There will be however, a minor interruption during the song...

[Bashfluff]

I love the premise, and I--surprisingly--really enjoy the song. The lyrics are good and fit with Pinkie, and that song is perfect for Pinkie. Solid work and worth the track.

[The Meta]

260512 Yay! Feedback! This being my first story and all, your complements mean a lot to me. Now, let's see if I can procrastinate on procrastination long enough to knuckle down and make some headway into chapter 2!

[MclarenMP4-27]

Well written and delightfully lighthearted so far. Tracked.

[flshgordon003]

This is really good

[Kody910]

Oh, another shipfic? Yeah, that's cool and al- wait, it's Pinkieshy?

Instant-track.

[NotATree]

Tracking. This seems interesting

[Jahk Observas]

Tracking because of PinkieShy. Ill read it a bit later though. Pinkie Promise!

[The Meta]

261452 Oh you. Don't forget the feedback. I can't consciously make an effort to give ponies what I don't know they want!

[Jahk Observas]

Couldn't sleep... so I read it. I'm interested in how Fluttershy will react to a party for her.
I liked this line!
And so it happened that this pink, poofy maned panache pony pranced peculiarly towards the town library.
And now to play everyone's favorite fan fic game... the Waiting Game!
Looking forward to it bro!

[The Meta]

261526 I say "Huzzah" :lunahuzzah: for excessive alliteration. Next chapter, depending on how much schoolwork I force myself to do, should be up sometime this week.

[Newname234567896532]

Looks good so far!
criticism... hmm...
Meh... nothing worth noting.
Tracking awaiting more.

[Mehnlo]

Well, I am definently going to track, if only becuase I adore fluttershy and I really like Pinkie Pie, although why is everyone saying this is a ship fic? Did I miss it saying that in the description or something? It could just be Pinkie Pie throws big party, Fluttershy, being well SHY, gets upset at said party, Pinkie Pie does something to try and cheer Fluttershy up, but that only makes it worse and Fluttershy runs(gallops? Flies?) away, and Pinkie Pie puts it on herself to make it up to Fluttershy without being all romantical (Scientific word mind you) and stuff. All around a nice, heartwarming story. =) Yes... By the way, whats a ship fic? Like is shipping when you actually have them get together romantically, or can it be as slight as suggesting they may like each other?

[Criticul]

265095 I know the author, and this IS a ship fic. Though I see your point. And shipping is romance between two characters, in any form. It could be the big lead up, the fall of a relationship, or the climax. Or, for the really good ones, all of them.

[Mehnlo]

265205 Thanks, Honestly whenever I picture a ship fic I can't help but picture Hearts and Hooves day, how Cheerilee and Big Mac treat each other, which frankly makes me sick. I am not against romance or anything its just too much romance is silly to me. Also one thing I can never really get over is the fact that it seems that pretty much every mane cast is almost always paired with another female, even though I realize that in the long run its either that or Big Mac for the most part >.< Anyways, I will keep reading as I do like this story so far.

[The Meta]

266531 Yes, I agree that the Hearts and Hooves day thing is pretty dreadful. And also: of course, you're absolutely correct about the same gender pairing. I simply chose this coupling because of the WOEFULLY inadequate amount of decent Pinkieshy ships. Plus I find them both adorable, in opposing ways; which will be relevant later...

[moleman40k]

im pretty sure i dident do that song any where near how it was sopposed to be done
