So, I heard an AI AJ Jolene cover and got to talking about how if I wanted to hear Applejack sing Jolene, I'd sing it myself. Someone requested I figure out a way to make it about Rarity and it very quickly turned into a song about Applejack's POV during Simple Ways. Revised lyrics under the cut. Note that I kind of recorded the whole thing in one take, so if there are places where the lyrics don't quite match what I sang, I absolutely just messed it up or didn't enunciate well enough.
Rarity, oh Rarity,
I just don't see how you could like that guy
Rarity, oh Rarity,
You're way outta his league, not outta mine
Your beauty is beyond compare,
You fancy up your violet hair,
Your ivory coat is never not pristine
Your smile's like a breath of spring,
Your laughter echoes in my brain,
I'd tell you but you'd think I'm being mean
That that guy you like, yeah he's a douche
I'd hammer home but it's no use,
You're blind to me, gosh darn it, Rarity,
You don't seem to understand
How much you just don't need that man,
You're better off with me, oh Rarity.
Rarity, oh Rarity,
I just don't get how you could like that guy,
Rarity, oh Rarity,
You're stupid but I know I gotta try
You think that he's the perfect fit,
I know that he's an idiot,
If he don't see what I see, Rarity
You aren't yourself, that I can see,
It hurts to see you tryin' to be
A bad imitation of me, Rarity
Rarity, oh Rarity
I need you back to shinin' like a star
Rarity, oh Rarity,
I loved you first for bein' who you are
I love you most for bein' who you are
I need you back to bein' who you are
Rarity
P.S. If you liked this, consider requesting another cover- altered or as is. This was super fun.
“An amethyst intaglio depicting a hedgehog, a creature that has long fascinated humans with its spiny exterior and unique appearance. The engraving is rendered in fine detail, capturing the essence of the animal's body, including its spikes, pointed face, and short legs. The heavy gold ring that holds the intaglio is a work of art in its own right. The round hoop and raised cell for the gem are expertly crafted, with a sense of heft and durability that speaks to the value of the piece. Intaglios with animal depictions were highly popular in ancient Rome, as they were seen as a way to capture the power and beauty of the natural world. From lions and tigers to birds and insects, the Romans were fascinated by the diversity of life on earth and sought to capture its essence in their art. Animal intaglios were often worn as a symbol of strength, courage, and power, reflecting the values and beliefs of Roman society.”
A taffeta dress with very wide green and white stripes, entirely cut in points, and in princess style (that is, the bodice is not separate from the skirt); from the collar to the feet, tabs of plain green taffeta, fastened at each pointed end by a white mother-of-pearl button, are arranged in frogging; these tabs are repeated on each seam joining the front panel, but their shape and size are only half that of the previous ones; consequently, they are square on one side, scalloped on the other, and on the latter, fastened by a mother-of-pearl button. On the sleeve, three scalloped bands on each side, also of plain green taffeta, are arranged in chevrons, with mother-of-pearl bells; epaulettes composed of three bands of green taffeta, forming loops and panels, with mother-of-pearl buttons and bells.
Corn satin dress. Along the lower edge, three corn tulle ruffles, trimmed on each side with narrow black lace; a similar ruffle, ending in a tulle flounce and edged with a wide black lace pleat, forms a tunic. Very long satin belt trimmed on each side with three tabs framed in black lace. Low-cut bodice. In place of a bertha, a corn tulle ruffle. Corn bows on the shoulders. Headdress of scarlet flowers and fruit.
