The Cutie Mark Crusaders Song, or The Cutie Mark Crusaders Anthem,[2] is featured in the episode The Show Stoppers. It is initially sung by Sweetie Belle and later by all of the Cutie Mark Crusaders during a talent show.
Production and re-use[]
Daniel Ingram describes the song's style on his website as "Cheesy 80's with 3 out of tune soloists". The song's melody is a quasi-perfect amalgam of the 80's hits (I Just) Died in Your Arms and Holding Out For A Hero, with an opening piano riff very reminiscent of the beginning of Don't Stop Believin' or Alone.
After being used on the show, the instrumental of the song was used in Olaf in Love, the twenty-third episode of the first season of Pound Puppies, another show for which Daniel Ingram provides music. The song is also briefly used in My Little Pony Equestria Girls, as part of a music video that the human Cutie Mark Crusaders uploaded to a YouTube-like website. Discord briefly sings the song's second verse in My Little Pony: Friends Forever Issue #2. The outfits worn by the CMC in this song are also worn by their human counterparts in My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks.
Lyrics[]
- [Scootaloo]
- Look, here, are three little ponies,
- Ready to sing for this crowd,
- Listen up, 'cause here's our story
- I'm gonna sing it
- [Cutie Mark Crusaders]
- Very loud!
- [Scootaloo]
- When you're a younger pony
- And your flank is very bare
- Feels like the sun will never come
- When your cutie mark's not there
- So the three of us will fight the fight
- There is nothing that we fear
- We'll have to figure out what we'll do next
- [Cutie Mark Crusaders]
- 'Til our cutie marks are here!
- We are the Cutie Mark Crusaders
- On a quest to find out who we are
- And we will never stop the journey
- Not until we have our cutie marks
- [Scootaloo]
- They all say that you'll get your mark
- When the time is really right
- And you know just what you're supposed to do
- And your talent comes to light
- But it's not as easy as it sounds
- And that waiting's hard to do
- So we test our talents everywhere
- [Cutie Mark Crusaders]
- Until our face is blue
- We are the Cutie Mark Crusaders
- On a quest to find out who we are
- And we will never stop the journey
- Not until we have our cutie marks
- We are the Cutie Mark Crusaders
- On a quest to find out who we are
- And we will never stop the journey
- Not until we have our cutie marks!
