    • Verse 1
    Spider: I think 
    I 
    can explain 
    about about 
    how 
    the 

    pigs' music works 

    Monica: Well, this should 

    be interesting 

    Spider: Remem
    ber that they 
    make 

    music 
    with a 
    very 
    dense 
    light 

    John: Yeah 

    Monica: O.K. 

    Spider: And remember 
    about the smoke 
    standing still 
    and how they 

    they 
    really get 
    uptight 
    when you try 
    to move the smoke, 
    right? 

    Monic
    a: Right 

    John: Yeah? 

    Spider: I 
    think 
    the music 
    in that 
    dense light 
    is prob
    ably what 
    makes the smoke 
    stand 
    still. 
    As soon 
    as the 
    pony's mane 
    starts to get 
    good in the back 
    any sort of 
    motion, 

    especially of 
    smoke 
    or gas, 
    be
    gins to 
    make the 
    ends split 

    Monica: Well don't 
    the 
    split
    ting ends 
    change the density 
    of the 
    ponies' music so 
    it 
    affect
    s 

    the density of the 
    pig
    s' music, which makes 
    the 
    smoke move 
    which 
    up
    sets the pig
    s? 

    Spider: No, 
    it isn't 
    like that 

    John: Well, how 
    does it 
    work? 


    Spider: Well, what it does 
    is 
    when it 
    strikes 
    any 
    sort of 
    energy 
    field 
    or solid 
    object 
    or even 
    something 
    as 
    ephemeral 
    as smoke, 

    the 
    first thing 
    it 
    does 
    is 
    be
    gins 
    to 
    inactiv
    ate the molecular 
    mo
    tion 
    so that 
    it slows 
    down 
    and finally 
    stops. 
    That's why the smoke stops. 
    And 
    also have you ever noticed 
    how the 
    the smoke clouds 
    shrink up? 
    That's because 
    the molecules 
    come closer 
    to
    gether. 
    The 
    cold light 
    makes it get so 
    small, 
    this is really 
    brittle smoke 

    John: And that's why the 
    pigs 
    don't want you 

    to 
    touch it 

    Spider: See, when the 
    smoke gets 
    that brittle what 

    happens when you try 
    to move it is 
    it dis
    integrates 

    John: And the pigs get 
    uptight 'cause you 
    know they, 

    they 
    worship 
    that smoke. They salute 
    it every 
    day 

    Monica: You know we've 
    got something 

    here 

    John: And, and, and, and 
    that's the basis 
    of all 
    their 
    nationalism. 
    Like 

    if they can't salute 
    the 
    smoke 
    every morn
    ing when 
    they get up 
    . . . 

    Spider: Yeah, it's 
    a 
    vi
    cious 
    circle. 
    You 
    got 
    it

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
