The birth of two fandom legends: PinkiePieSwear's first track turns 10 today!

His first one still available, at any rate. If there were any before this, they've long since faded into obscurity. PinkiePieSwear would go on to create two cast-iron fandom classics, "Flutterwonder" and "Sunshine and Celery Stalks", but this remix of Pinkie's S1 premiere song came well before either of those. It's a simple thing by comparison with some Pony fan tracks, and I'm not sure the transition around 2:40 works that well, but for the most part it's still good listening today.

So, why two fandom legends? Because, as some of you will doubtless have realised as soon as you heard it, the little introductory instrumental phrase was reused a few weeks later by Swagberg (ft. Maros) for the hugely successful "Pony Swag". We'll get to that one on its own 10th birthday in July!
