How DO Ponies Feel?

I love Mondegreens. Frequently I like them better than the "real" words, especially in pop songs. But periodically I run across one that's just....silly.

I'm listening to a local radio station's streaming music, and Billy Idol's "Mony Mony" was just on; it contains the lyrics "Cause you make me feel (rock it, Mony) so good! (Rock it, Mony) So Fine!..." Sadly, I have always heard those lyrics as: "Cause you make me feel (like a pony) so good! (like a pony) So fine!...."

Which, of course, leads to the question, exactly how good or fine do ponies feel?

My Little Ponies certainly seem to be feeling no pain...


But I think it's entirely possible that their moods are, if not pharmaceutically induced, at least the result of living in a magical world that the rest of us don't get to inhabit.

How DO ponies feel?

That is so awesome! I thought the same thing, and thought it was a really stupid song. Makes a bit more sense now, but now I'm laughing at my stupidity all these years...
