How the Pigs' Music Works

I think I can explain about how the pigs' music works
(Well, this should be interesting)
Remember that they make music with a very dense light
(Yeah) (okay)
And remember about the smoke standing still
And how they they really get uptight when you try to move the smoke, right?
(Right) (yeah?)
I think the music in that dense light is probably what makes the smoke stand still
As soon as the pony's mane starts to get good in the back
Any sort of motion, especially of smoke or gas
Begins to make the ends split

Well don't the splitting ends change the density
Of the ponies' music so it affects the density of the
Pigs' music, which makes the smoke move which upsets the pigs?

No, it isn't like that
(Well, how does it work?)
Well, what it does is when it strikes any sort
Of energy field or solid object or even something as
Ephemeral as smoke, the first thing it does is
Begins to inactivate the molecular motion
So that it slows down and finally stops, that's why the smoke stops
And also have you ever noticed how the-the smoke clouds shrink up?
That's because the molecules come closer together
The cold light makes it get so small
This is really brittle smoke

And that's why the pigs don't want you to touch it
See, when the smoke gets that brittle
What happens when you try to move it is it disintegrates

And the pigs get uptight 'cause you know
They-they-they worship that smoke, they salute it every day
(You know we've got something here) (yeah)
And-and-and-and that's the basis of all their nationalism
Like if they can't salute the smoke every morning when they get up
(Yeah, it's a vicious circle, you got it)
