B.B.B.F.F.

B.B.B.F.F. (Big Brother Best Friend Forever) is a song that is featured in the episode A Canterlot Wedding - Part 1. Twilight Sparkle first sings it when she explains to her friends that her brother, Shining Armor, was the only pony she trusted as a friend before she was sent to Ponyville. Later in the episode, when she was afraid she had "lost a brother" because of an argument, she sings a somber, much shorter reprise. The song is notable in being Twilight's first solo song. Meghan McCarthy stated that she was inspired by the relationship her daughter has with her older brother.
==Production and re-use==
The song's composer, Daniel Ingram, used a cadence known as a "deceptive cadence" rather than an "authentic cadence" to finish the reprise as an "inside joke". The non-reprisal version ends on an authentic cadence, D flat major, rather than a deceptive one (B flat minor). In a (now deleted) tweet, Daniel Ingram mentions that Rebecca Shoichet was lightly autotuned to produce a "harmonizing effect."
This song is the ninth track on the Songs of Friendship and Magic soundtrack album, although the liner notes miscredit this song as appearing in A Canterlot Wedding - Part 2, and where its lyrics would appear in the booklet, the lyrics to This Day Aria, Part 1 are listed instead. It also serves as the fifth track on the My Little Pony 2015 Convention Collection.
==Lyrics==
:[Twilight Sparkle]
::When I was just a filly, I found it rather silly
::To see how many other ponies I could meet
::I had my books to read, didn't know that I would ever need
::Other ponies to make my life complete
::But there was one colt that I cared for
::I knew he would be there for me
::My big brother, best friend forever!
::Like two peas in a pod, we did everything together
::He taught me how to fly a kite (Best friend forever!)
::We never had a single fight (We did everything together!)
::We shared our hopes, we shared our dreams
::I miss him more than I realized
::It seems...
:[Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity]
::Your big brother, best friend forever
::Like two peas in a pod, you did everything together
:[Twilight Sparkle]
::And though he's, oh, so far away
::I hoped that he would stay
::My big brother best friend
::Forever...
::Forever...
===Reprise===
:[Twilight Sparkle]
::He was my big brother, best friend
::Forever...
::And now, we'll never do anything
::Together...
