The late greater than great Howard Ashman said it was always more fun to write the villain songs as opposed to the hero songs. More fun to write for Captain Hook than Peter Pan.
I love how the instrumentation changes based on the singer! Cozy glow has an accordion, Tirek has low menacing staccato strings, Chrysalis has higher legato strings, and the chorus uses all of them
The vocals are focus more on voice acting than on how beautiful it sounds, which is a risky move that _damn_ well paid off. The lyrics are well-written, and you don’t need to see the scene to understand the gist of what’s happening. The song shows the trio’s relations with each other, and shows their personalities so perfectly. This song is just Daniel Ingram telling everyone he went to music school, and had some damn impressive grades.
Why did people tell me this started to get boring after the 3rd season??? I love this kinda stuff of seeing villains hitch up and work together lmao it makes for some hilarious turn outs xD
in my opinion it was a bit of a rollercoaster after season 3. 4 was good, 5 was really good, 6 was awful, 7 was amazing, 8 was ehh, and 9 was pretty good. i mean, any show that runs for that long is gonna have some not so great seasons, so it's not unexpected.
Mine is 5 winter wrap up 4 becoming popular 3 this song 2 flawless 1 this day aria. If I include the equestria girls songs it would be 5 under our spell or cafeteria song 4 battle of the bands 3 this song 2 flawless 1 this day aria
5. Mad twience 4. Welcome to the show 3. This song 2. Flawless 1. Tricks up my sleeve But other songs like: in my head like a catchy song, this day aria, spectacle, and more, are just soooo good
@@jareththegoblinking3191 Yes, hence why I say she is not smart. If anything, she is too dumb to live. She makes Snips and Snails look intelligent by comparison.
@@jareththegoblinking3191 I think cunning is a better word for Cozy, sure she’s still pretty smart, but her main power comes from her manipulative nature hence why she’s cunning
[Cozy Glow] I think I know a way that we can grow Time to try something new, something better No more solo, trust is the way to go And all we need to do is work together Lord Tirek: Ah, please! No thanks, no way, I feel the need to say I'm smarter, stronger, and I don't need you two Queen Chrysalis: Ha! Stronger? Okay, I guess we'll downplay How bad you got your rear end handed to you [Cozy Glow] It's time to try a better way to be bad [Lord Tirek and Queen Chrysalis] Do we really need a better way to be bad? [Cozy Glow] United as one [Queen Chrysalis] Teamwork? Please, what a fad [Cozy Glow] Combine all our strength, we'll go to any length Once we have a better way to be bad Let's go begin, this time we're gonna win [Queen Chrysalis] The ice you're on is thin, so watch what you say [Cozy Glow] I know you're in, I think I see a grin [Lord Tirek] For all this pain and torture, I swear you'll pay [Cozy Glow] This time, we've got a better way to be bad [Lord Tirek and Queen Chrysalis] Sounds like a long shot, this "better way" to be bad [Cozy Glow] United as one, we'll make those ponies so sad [Lord Tirek] If we say "okay", would you just go away? [Cozy Glow] Once we have a better way to be bad We want to break their friendship We want to make them weak You want revenge on Starlight You want that huge physique So let's increase our chances By working as a team To crush our enemies to dust And laugh as they all scream! [Lord Tirek] I think I see a better way to be bad [Queen Chrysalis] Just put me in charge, make me queen, you'll be glad [Cozy Glow] No! Listen to me, I'm the best of us three [All] Then you'll see a better way to be bad [tempo increases] Cozy Glow: Wait! This is my thing, a better way to be bad [Queen Chrysalis] You shall do as I command, I will rule this triad! [Cozy Glow] Hey! This is my song! [Lord Tirek and Queen Chrysalis] Sorry, not any longer! [All] A better way to be bad [Cozy Glow] Now you're making me mad [Lord Tirek] Won't the ponies be sad? [Queen Chrysalis] That would make me so glad [All] Now we've got a better way to be baaaaaad!
Honestly I found her story pretty sad. It sounded like she trusted her changelings and viewed them working together as teamwork, with her as the leader. But the changelings revolted, so she probably views teamwork as a fad she's ready been through that ended for her. Since then, she clearly wanted to work alone due to that feeling of abandonment
I honestly feel bad for cozy glow's parents if she has any for having such a manipulative, two-faced, controlling, short tempered and power hungry pony for a daughter espcially after she got sent to Tartarus then get turned to stone forever.
I like how they made this villain song a Tango number that makes it even better even though the villains didn't start off on the best foot they actually work pretty well together because they all want the same thing the destruction of Twilight Sparkle and her friends
This may sound weird but I feel like this song fits the dynamic of velvette, vox and valentino from hazbin hotel lol. like: Vel as cozy glow Vox as chrysalis( chrysalis wanting revenge on starlight and vox wanting revenge on alastor) and valentino as tirek. (They both think that they are better than everyone else).
we need more of chrysalasis vocals in this song-- she just-- she needs more lines in this song alone, like just give her anotehr song that asll hers pleas, i oive ehr
@@bubbie6770 okay yeah but i watched mlp when i was four but stopped after whatever the hell i think of these songs just bring back memories and im 12 now
Some songs can only be found in leaks. They don't have official releases sadly, but these are the studio versions without sound effects and background noise.
She’s alone. The echo symbolized her connection with the hive, but now that she is no longer apart of the hive, she no liner has the echo. That’s what you’re referring to, right?
I mean they seem similar. Kidnap the Sandy Claws was about 3 kids trying to find a way to kidnap Santa Claus. Here, it's 3 villains trying to find ways to work together.
Imagine starlight was still bad, that would have made season 9 way better lol, imagine how she would have contributed to this song too, she was perfect material to be bad tbffff
I’m just gonna say it. Cozy’s not the most well developed villain in the show. But she is by far the scariest in concept and the most dangerous in execution. To start off she’s the typical malevolent, heartless, manipulative brat with a very convincing nice girl facade that you’d normally expect from a child villain But she’s also so much more than that. She knocks the core concept of the show flat on its ass by using friendship purely as a means to gain power. Even after having attended twilight’s school she takes what she’s learned and uses it as a weapon. The very same magic that reformed other villains, she merely perceived as something that could be twisted to her benefit. Remember, she was the driving force behind the villain team up in season 9. She’s the one that sold tirek and chrysalis on the idea using this very song. But that’s not all. Her crimes and the details surrounding them really seal the deal regarding how messed up this little filly truly is. Terrorism, treason, usurpation, at least one count of murder according to Wikipedia and the list goes on. I believe treason and usurpation speak for themselves just by watching the show but let’s address the terrorism. She attempted to drain all the magic from equestria. In a society that is reliant on magic the same way we rely on electricity. this is like knocking out every power grid worldwide except it’s even worse since magic is an inherent part of everyone in this world including her. We saw some folks nearly die but what about the shit we didn’t see? How many ponies or various other creatures actually did die? You can’t prove it was zero. And she likely wouldn’t care if it was the entire population. Not to mention the fact that she had the desire, motivation and know how to be able to do any of that in the first place. Yes I know she got that information from tirek but the fact that she wanted that information in the first place is even more messed up. Cozy glow isn’t just any old child villain. She’s a malevolent heartless creature with zero concept of empathy, remorse or restraint. The world is hers and hers alone. The only thing keeping her in check is the desire and the need to maintain her innocent sweet girl facade which inherently makes her even more terrifying because just imagine that one person you greatly respected and admired until one day learning what a monster they truly were whether it be a false friend or a celebrity idol. Cozy Glow’s betrayal inflicted that feeling on everyone. The entire cast loved her whether they be a major character or a minor one. She had them all charmed, had them all fooled. Her true colors didn’t present themselves for a long time and if not for the young six and the mane 6 they probably never would have. She had everyone’s trust so secured that she was able to rally an entire school together. She knew just what to say to get everyone on her side without even a hint as to her true intention. That type of large scale manipulation is politician worthy. I will never understand people who don’t think cozy glow is interesting because in my mind. She’s the most interesting of them all purely by virtue of what she is compared to what she does
i think the biggest fail of the season was combining the "we're trying to do the serios and complex plot here" while having such a joke villains who are literally the eqivalent of the "menacingly laughing while twisting moustache" cliche, the song is kinda good tho (sorry for any typos, i'm not an english speaker)
