Doodled's rapping is some of the craziest in the game and the way he manages to put together clever lyricism with a wonderful flow is always great to hear. Making this track even better is the combination with Hoofy's awesome instrumental work. This is Hoofy's first feature on P@D and the terrific background design complements Doodled's vocals perfectly. They've come together with this lovely nostalgic track about time spent in the fandom, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do. As always, make sure to send them some love!

(Summer of 2012.
Had my early obsessions, but no investments.
Heard my friends at the time
talk and screencap and joke about some weird show.
One day I got up and decided - with no real reason why -
that I'd give it a try.)

Not much to do aside from being asleep.
Went through both seasons - took me only two weeks.
Get me some Flex Tape - I think my brain formed a leak.
Didn't fret the same with laugh lanes so deep.
Bo Peep gon' weep - didn't need her sheep to sleep anymore.
Rejuvenated - 110% Juice in the morn'.
Not stuck in the Backyard - I might be stuck online
watching this pone show and missin' my wind-chimes
and deadlines and fold-clothes and bed-times -
I no-showed and fed lies
to those Jones and led life
with a smile.
I guess I was a child
who needed some light
in a life rife with cynicism
missin' the kind
of mysticism and wonders delight
from a dumb show about a horse in the night -
of course set a course to ripen my mind.
Not the kind of guy to find this kinda stuff appealin',
'til I peeled my mind open and reached a new ceiling.
For days I was dazed - I was feign-blessed,
'till this thing came around - gave me a rain check.
No loud sounds, no cloud I was under -
sun's out, it's a wonderful summer.
Friends were pinpricks I didn't miss
'till I fell in - I was livin' it.
Formed cliques and I learned how to love 'em
'cause I flicked a vid that wonderful summer.
Always wanted to make stuff to wow others -
never had the means to mean more than a lover.
Now I've had a mass of crowds to be in front of.
I'm still proud of that wonderful summer.
This community planted the seeds in me - the weeds in me,
these needs to please in me.
Too fond to leave - too much to suffer:
the bond I weaved that wonderful summer.
Heard the music they were pumpin' out their orifices,
or I missed it - too many stolid stories were told in pictures,
told in tunes. Born a witness to this mystic-
-al addiction formed attuned. Been aboard a burning cruise or two
in this cornucopia storm amused.
This is my muse to abuse.
My flex to reflex.
Rode [HORSE] to the vertex - coursed coarse like a Blank Check
I could never make set 'cause my words felt worthless.
Now I've gone on a limb -
take Hoofy to the gym.
Not like some Eevee EV or Eevee CP or CP; like ZD's PP,
not missin' a smedium - spirit hard with no tedium;
pick on a Picard or Picardy - lightspeed when I'm beamin' 'em.
The BBs see me be the worst in fandom,
but then they be RCT3's first expansion.
Buddy boy, I'm blasting love like a cantrip - can't miss -
too much ish from this pilgrimage - can't skip.
No loud sounds, no cloud I was under -
sun's out, it's a wonderful summer.
Formed cliques and I learned how to love 'em
'cause I flicked a vid that wonderful summer.
Now I've had a mass of crowds to be in front of.
I'm still proud of that wonderful summer.
Too fond to leave - too much to suffer:
the bond I weaved that wonderful summer.

(It's been 7 years for me.
That's a massive chunk of my life that's set in stone forever.
No matter how much I lose interest,
no matter how much I may move away,
this community and this identity will always have its place in me.
P@D. Hoofy.
Have a good night.)
