hey! I know this is extremely specific and a random thing to ask but I'm looking for ponies with names that are also song names, or at least very close to being the same as a song name. G1 and G3 are preferred but any generation is okay! I'm really stuck here, lol.
-
Not sure if this is exactly what you mean but here are G3s with "music" themed cutie marks so they may also have music themed names...

Do you mean songs about ponies or songs that share a name with a pony?
There's a UK song tape with songs for some of the ponies including Applejack

If you're looking for songs that have the same names as ponies there's "Windy" by The Association.

As we talked about in a recent thread: Round and Round (like the Ratt song!)

Well thanks for getting that stuck in my head now. :lol:
This is tricky actually!
Um...there’s G3 Amazing Grace, that’s a pretty easy one.
It’s not exact but there’s (what’s the story) morning glory? By Oasis
Bright eyes is a BAND not a song, but the pony always makes me think of them!
-
"Firefly" by Breaking Benjamin
-
Does "Starlight" by Taylor Swift count? I'm thinking of G4 Starlight Glimmer but there is also G1 Starlight
"ivy" by Taylor Swift but Ivy is a G2 pony
-
"Paradise" by Coldplay
"Party Time" by T. G. Sheppard
"Moonstone" by Cat Stevens
"Up Up and Away" by Juice Wrld
"Sweet Dreams" by Eurythmics
"Mirror Mirror" by Blind Guardian
-
Bright Eyes IS a song. It's part of the Watership Down soundtrack!!!
There may well be a song called Twilight as well. IIRC there's one by ELO???

My gf and I once made a list of theme tunes for our ponies (basically songs that reminded us of them) but I'm not sure where it is now. Here's a few songs with pony names that I remember:
* Tutti Frutti - Little Richard
* Dazzle - Siouxsie & the Banshees (for Dazzleglow, or any of the other ponies with dazzle in their names)
* Bright Eyes - Art Garfunkel (Bright Eyes always makes me think of Total Eclipse of the Heart: "Turn around, Bright Eyes....")
* Barnacle Bill the Sailor - Bix Beiderbecke
* Honeysuckle Rose - Marlene Dietrich (for the flutter pony Honeysuckle?)
* Sundance - Ephixa
* Sunburst - Nightcore
* Ice Crystal - VRCTIC
* Gypsy Story - Transsylvania Phoenix (for Gypsy of course)
* Twilight - Adeline
* Twilight - ELO
* Mimic - Kana-Boon
* Sail Away - David Gray
ETA: Ponybookworm beat me to it with Bright Eyes and Twilight! :)

"Pillow Talk" by Sylvia - this is actually the reason I love that pony's name, because around the time I got into all generations, my then favorite radio station used this song as the intro to a segment of the same name, so I basically associated them with each other nostalgically/sentimentally (this would be like 2013.)
Pina Colada almost makes it with "Escape" by Rupert Holmes, which is subtitled "The Pina Colada Song".
There are probably a few more that have their names as part of songs than the actual songs (will hopefully add more later.)
-
I don't know how close they need to be, but all these songs technically contain pony names in them so I figured some of them might actually be useful, that's all I could find for now:
"Twilight Eyes" by Cindy Lauper
"Moondance" by Nightwish
"Shady Grove" by Doc Watson
"Twist of Faith" by Highland Glory
"Over the Galaxy" by Blood Stain Child
"Speedy Runner" by King & Queen
"Rise of the Morning Glory" by Edguy
"Lily Was Here" by Candy Dulfer and Dave Stewart
"Celebration" by Kool & the Gang
"Lost In Hollywood" by System of a Down
"Send Me an Angel" by Real Life

Yesterdaisy always reminds me of Yesterday by The Beatles

Twilight reminds me of the JatH song Twilight in Paris

I remember this fun contest ages ago and there was someone who had about 100 songs pony name related all gens. I can't remember if that was over here or the UK ponycon forum
-
Whenever I hear "Total Eclipse of the Heart" when they say "turn around bright eyes," I imagine the pony turning around and going all annoyed, "WHAT?!" xD xD xD
Also, Gorillaz has a song called "Starshine" apparently.

I think she was a show only character so I’m not sure if this counts, but there was a pony on FiM named Raspberry Beret.

I've got to admit I like this kind of thing. Words, wonderful words :lovey:

* Lavender's Blue - a lullaby. For Lavender Lace, or G3 Lavender Cloud, or G4 Lavender Fritter....you get the idea!

Lickety-Split - Jazz Worms
Jazz music is a surprisingly good source of pony names. I'm now imagining a pony jazz band. Playing sax, trumpet etc might be tricky with hooves, though....
-
