Description "I've got a small friend,
Who has a fat friend,
Who had a big friend,
Who gave birth to many friends.
With our flashlights to the sky,
We waited for them to land.

I've got two tall friends,
Who know my small friend,
Who seem to have a problem with you.
They got roman candles,
Bottle rockets for the vandals,
Who covered our lockers in glue.

We're on our way, here we go,
We're gonna take over!
Set it off, one last time,
Here we come again!

We were strangers,
And we were pilgrims,
Role models of the family man.
Pioneers and patriarchs,
Patriots and matriarchs,
Staking out the promised land.

Our little army,
We were commandos,
Gorillas with decoder rings.
We felt some opposition
From some villains
Who were wishin'
They could be cadets and kings.

We're on our way, here we go
We're gonna take over!
Set it off, one last time,
Here we come again!

All systems go!
Soon the world will know!
The fury of attack,
Feel the wrath of
The super rad!
The super rad!
All systems go!
Soon the world will know!
The fury of attack,
Feel the wrath of
The super rad, super rad, super rad!
Super rad!

And if we die,
before the battle's through,
tell your mom, tell your dad,
That we were super rad!

We're on our way, here we go,
We're gonna take over!
Set it off one last time,
Here we come again!

All systems go!
Soon the world will know!
The fury of attack,
Feel the wrath of
The super rad!
The super rad!
All systems go!
Soon the world will know!
The fury of attack,
Feel the wrath of
The super rad, super rad, super rad!

All systems go!
As we step into the Octagon,
Feel the wrath of mission code name:
Applesauce Applesauce Applesauce!

Super rad!"

"Super Rad!" by The Aquabats [link]

-------------------------

Time for everypony's favorite derped eyed pegasus, Derpy! This song just seemed too perfect for Derpy. I swear, she would so be a roadie for The Aquabats. And so I figured I would add The Aquabat's mascot into the picture with Derpy. On an unrelated note, this was the first Aquabats song I heard, and I freaking love them (I'm an Aquacadet).

This was quite fun to draw, Derpy looks so cute in that pose.

"Super Rad!" was written by The Aquabats (MC Bat Commander, Jimmy the Robot, Chainsaw: The Prince of Karate, Prince Adam, Crash McLarson, Catboy, The Baron von Tito, and Ultra Kyu) and first appeared on 'The Fury Of The Aquabats!' , released October 28, 1997.
The Aquabat mascot belongs to The Aquabats
Derpy Hooves belongs to My Little Pony (c) Hasbro
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic was made for television by Lauren Faust

The songs that I listened to while drawing this:

"Super Rad!" by The Aquabats
"Your Horoscope for Today" by "Weird Al" Yankovic
"Crash" by The Primitives
"Take On Me" by Reel Big Fish (a-ha cover)

lol I could absolutely see Derpy rocking to this. xD Ugh that little pony is just full of cute, and while I'd never heard of the song before now, I love it. I was laughing, and just imagining all the fun that little rascal would have with it. Great job on one of my favorite ponies. ^^

'The Fury Of The Aquabats!' is the best album to start with, it's when they had Travis Barker of blink-182 on drums (as The Baron von Tito).

Best two albums (in my opinion) are 'The Fury Of The Aquabats' and 'Charge!!'. 'The Fury Of The Aquabats' has Travis Barker of blink-182 fame on drums (under the name The Baron von Tito). It's a great album.

I stopped listening to my passionless underground rap to listen to this Aquabats song.
And, surprisingly, I liked it quite a bit more than what I started out listening to.
I have no idea what the lyrics mean, but I like that. Sort of sounds like They Might Be Giants, if They Might Be Giants made poppy ska type stuff.
So thank you, sir or madam, for introducing me to this new music. I may have to buy some Aquabats music.

Also, I totally understand why Derpy would like this song, even though I can't quite explain it.

You are very welcome. And let me say that The Hub will be airing The Aquabats Super Show this fall on The Hub, the same network as My Little Pong: Friendship is Magic.

Also, MC Bat Commander (Christian Jacobs) is the man behind Yo Gabba Gabba, who has had more musical artists in four seasons of that children's show on Nick Jr. than MTV has had on in years.

...That's AWESOME. If I had a TV, I would so watch that. I'll have to keep an eye out for it.

I'm not actually sure what Yo Gabba Gabba is, but I'll check that out as well.

Well, knowing the Hasbro and the Hub, you might be able to watch it on YouTube like you can with MLP. And I am glad I got you to start listening to The Aquabats!
