One Trick Ponies by Kurt Vile

One, two, three, four
shit
Yeah
Loved you all a long, long while
Looked down into a deep, dark well
Called all your names
They echoed down for miles and miles
And all that other mystical, well, never-you-mind
Loved them all through many a lifetime
Some are gone but some still strong
Some are weird as hell but we love 'em
Some are one trick ponies but we embrace 'em
'Cause I've always had a soft spot for repetition
Wooh, loved you all a long, long while
Looked down into a deep, dark well
Called all your names
They echoed down for miles and miles
And all that other mystical, well, never-you-mind
Loved you all a long, long time
Looked long into the length of a tunnel
Called all your names
And we was tripping out 'cause we needed a way out
And all them other crystalline mystic rationalizations
Loved them all right down to my soul
Looked well into the depth of a hole
Pondered perpetual motion in the echo
Just like the song if the repeats were long
Loved you all a long, long while
Looked down into a deep, dark well
Called all your names
They echoed down for miles and miles
And all that other mystical, well, never-you-mind
Loved you all a long, long while
And I'd give my left, nevermind, for one big synchronized smile
Some are one trick ponies but so am I
Round 'em up into a mixed bag bundle of love now, yeah
Loved them all a long, long tick
And it's four, five, six
Prevent your schtick
Throw them at the wall in a mixed bag and see if they stick
Then give 'em a glass of water
Give 'em a cherry pie
Wooh, loved you all a long, long while
Looked down into a deep, dark well
Called all your names
They echoed down for miles and miles
And all that other mystical, well, never-you-mind

Oh yeah, this is the guy from 'Silence of the Lambs'

the lyrics are just missing, "it puts the lotion in the basket"

Now as for the lyrics

I'm sure the ponies had other tricks, he's just being a harsh critic

That being said, a horse is an equine that stands 14.2 hands or higher

And a pony is anything below that mark - they're just smaller horses

A donkey is descendant of the African Wild Ass

But a mule is cross between a male donkey and a female horse

A cross between a male horse and female donkey is called a hinny

And the best fact of all, a zebra can mate with a donkey

-That's right, it's called a zonkey

- The more you know -

I think a zonky is the mascots for fruit stripe gum. And the words In this video also look like so so delicious. The remind me of fruity pebbles and fruit stripe. I love me some fruity pebbles. Both fruity pebbles and fruit stripe have to be consumed quickly. Fruity pebbles cuz they get soggy. And fruit stripe because it burns hot but fades out fast.
