99 Red Balloons (Electro Vocal Recollection)

from Under the Covers of the Night / The Librarian by Freewave

/

about

A ponified cover of 99 Luftballoons. Dreamsong and I were going to collab again on this track but we never found the time. This was one of the covers she wanted to do. I ended up doing a vocoder vocal instead.

Plotwise this is about Pinkie releasing 99 red balloons in Ponyville, Canterlot's war machine confuses them for another parasprite invasion and orders a magical strike upon the town. Nice job Pinkie.....

lyrics

You and I in a little toy shop
buy some balloons with the bits that we've got
Set them free at the break of dawn
Till one by one they were all gone
Back at base, bugs in the interior
Sent the message, something's out there
Floating in the summer sky
99 red balloons go by

99 red balloons
Floating in the summer sky
Panic bells, they're parasprites
They've invaded town overnight
The war machine it springs to life
Opens up one eager eye
Focusing it on the sky
As 99 red balloons go by

In Canterlot out off the street
99 elite generals meet
To worry worry super scary
Call out the troops now in a hurry
This is what we've waited for
This is it boys this is war
Celestia is on the line
As 99 red balloons go by

99 dreams I have had
In every one a red balloon
It's all over and I wear a frown
In the dust that was our town
If I could find a souvenir
Just to prove that we were here
And here it is a red balloon
I think of you and let it go

I'm an older brony musician who started making music in 2011. I have made a large collection of varied MLP music from many different genres and influences. I keep my prices cheap so that you may enjoy the music. ;)

I've add my pre-pony music of thescientist to bandcamp now. A bit more amateur, experimental, and concept based. It's here warts and all. ... more
