第二季

《Find A Pet Song》,[2]《May the Best Pet Win》[3],是出现于剧集“胜者为宠”中的一首二重唱。小蝶借此歌向云宝展示了许多动物,并希望后者可以从中挑选出一只作为宠物。本歌是第二季中出现的第一首歌,也是整个动画中出现的第一首二重唱,此外还是第一首由云宝黛茜全程唱完的歌曲。

制作

据丹尼尔·英格拉姆所言,本曲的创作受到了1967年美国音乐电影《怪医杜立德》中歌曲《Fabulous P laces》的影响。[4]本曲的部分旋律被用在了Discovery Family的日间节目网站上的“Fluttershy's Songbird Chorus”游戏当中。本歌还是专辑《Songs of Friendship and Magic》中的第五首音乐,在该专辑中,本歌曲名字为“May the Best Pet Win”(与歌曲所在剧集名字相似,只是少了感叹号)。此外,本曲还是唱片专辑《Magical Friendship Tour》A面的第五首歌。

歌词

[小蝶]
Now, Rainbow, my dear, I cannot express my delight
It's abundantly clear
That somewhere out here
Is the pet that will suit you just right
[云宝黛茜]
I can't wait to get started, but first let me set a few rules
It's of utmost importance
The pet that I get
Is something that's awesome and cool
小蝶: Awesome, cool, got it!
I have so many wonderful choices, just wait, you will see
[云宝黛茜]
I need something real fast like a bullet to keep up with me
[小蝶]
Sure! How 'bout a bunny?
They're cutesy and wootsie and quick as can be
[云宝黛茜]
Cutesy? Wootsie? Have you even met me?
[小蝶]
Rainbow, have faith
You see, I will bet you
Somewhere in here is the pet that will get you
小蝶: Come on, the sky's the limit!
云宝黛茜: Sky is good. I'd like it to fly.
小蝶: Really? Because I think this widdle puddy tat has your name written all over it. Yes, he does. Aww, look, he likes you!
云宝黛茜: Pass.
[小蝶]
I have so many wonderful choices for you to decide
There are otters and seals
With massive appeal
云宝黛茜: Otters and seals do not fly.
小蝶: Maybe not, but I've seen this particular seal catch ten feet of air when he breaches the water!
[seal barks]
云宝黛茜: That's it. I'm outta here.
[小蝶]
Wait! There must be a pet here
That will fit the ticket
How 'bout a ladybug, or a cute cricket?
云宝黛茜: Bigger. And cooler.
小蝶: Bigger, cooler. Right.
I've got just the thing in that tree, Dash
Meet your new fabulous pet, Squirrely!
云宝黛茜: It's just a squirrel.
小蝶: Not just any squirrel. A flying squirrel!
云宝黛茜: ...Yeah. So, like I was saying...
Fluttershy, pal, this won't cut it
I need a pet to keep up with me
Something awesome, something flying
With coolness that defies gravity!
小蝶: I'm sensing you want an animal that can fly.
云宝黛茜: Ya think?
[小蝶]
I have plenty of wonderful creatures who soar in the sky
Like a sweet hummingbird or a giant monarch butterfly
云宝黛茜: Better, but cooler.
[小蝶]
I see. How 'bout an owl, or a wasp, or a toucan?
There's so many wonderful creatures the likes of that
There are falcons and eagles
They are both quite regal
Or perhaps what you need is a dark and mysterious bat?
云宝黛茜: Now you're talking! But instead of just one standout, now that's too many.
So many choices, and such riches aplenty
小蝶: Not a bad problem to have, if you ask me.
[云宝黛茜]
The bat would be awesome, but the wasp I'm digging too
Do you have something in a yellow striped bat?
小蝶: No.
I've got a hot pink flamingo, just dying to meet you
[云宝黛茜]
What to do, what to do? [gasp]
A prize! That's it! There's really just one way
To find out which animal's best
Hold a contest of speed, agility, and guts
That will put each pet to the test
[小蝶]
Don't forget style, that should be considered
[云宝黛茜]
Then we'll know for sure who's best of the litter
[小蝶]
The one who is awesome as cool
[云宝黛茜]
Just like me
Can't settle for less, 'cause I'm the best
[小蝶和云宝黛茜]
So a contest we will see
[云宝黛茜]
Who's the number one, greatest, perfectest pet
[小蝶和云宝黛茜]
In the world for me!
[小蝶]
May the games
[小蝶和云宝黛茜]
Begin!
云宝黛茜: And may the best pet win!

获奖与提名

歌曲《Find A Pet Song》与歌曲《Becoming Popular》第39届日间艾美奖颁奖期间一起被提名为最佳儿童动画原创歌曲奖。颁奖期间此曲的名字是《May The Best Pet Win》,并署上了梅根·麦卡锡的名字作为此曲的作词者(而不是歌曲《May The Best Pet Win》的作曲者夏洛特·富勒顿)。[5](尽管这里署上的名字很可能是被混淆了的。而在麦卡锡编剧的剧集“社交名马”中,富勒顿被署名为歌曲《Becoming Popular》的作词者。)
