Chords to Babs Seed

Down another rabbit hole... It started from noticing that there are a lot of covers on YouTube to one of my favorite MLP:FIM songs, Babs Seed:


A great straightforward rocking cover:

(By MandoPony, who does some of the best covers on the Net of songs from the show)


An also rocking garage version that wanders just a little bit off of the normal song timing:

This one that's way off the normal song, with lots of rock references including a Beatles scream which is what wins me over:

(The video that introduced me to all the MLP ROCK! videos by Claire Anne Carr.)


This delightful acoustic version of the song by MandoPony:

And many more:

The upshot is that the chords are pretty easy, here they are:

More amazing Babs Seed covers and where they lead:

Here is something utterly incredible:

That in turn was based on something from the utterly incredible PhillyPu, who produces all kinds of things MLP:

Including this clubified Pinkie Pie remix that I might not stop listening to ever:

Then that leads to this pretty nice setting of Pinkie Pie video clips to a preexisting club song:

Which in turn leads to hundreds of similar "PMVs" of just this one song, but also other music too.


Babs Seed 8 bit on a Gameboy, pretty impressive:

Many other 8 bit covers in the suggestions.

The video on YouTube:

A great video with some of the same scenes except shot at ground level, with no music overlay (amazing silence):

The blog post on the topic by the same guy, with lots of good words:

Links to the "apparently very underground" band that the music from the original video is: Listed as "Amoebaz - Rune!"

"The album is called "Nascence". It's very underground apparently." http://youmustlearn.us/2009/12/09/paint-the-town-rune/

A music video showing one of the guy's earlier tallbikes. This whole production is so Los Angeles that I feel like I'm back there:
