    Well, considering the status of Dakota’s hair, I think they should probably be singing this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FdWRsHeV98

    I prefer Link! He com to town, come to save the princess Zelda! I think its a weird Al song, not 100% sure. Im also reminded of the anime Magical Shopping arcade, they had a gag about the kid playing his own BGM. Also impressed they both no the same song when theres that generation gap. We should take Marigold to a concert . Also I like how they make a big epic quest out of even the small things in life.

    Only Marigold is so magnificent as to make leg-warmers STILL look stylish.

    Can’t Marigold play background music with her magic?, there are several epic BGM for quests riding a horse, my choises are:

    3) The Legend of Zelda main theme2) The Lord of the Rings theme1) Riders of Doom from Conan the Barbarian.

    Any ride on a unicorn is by definition a “Quest”.The leg warmers are cute, but the scarf is too narrow to do much good, other than as a fashion accessory.

    Dana, I wouldn’t presume to lecture a master, but if I may make one small suggestion:

    Adding multtiple ’O’s to a word like ‘body’ in order to extend it, gives the impression that it’s pronounced ‘Boooooo-dy’ ( as in ghost-speak. )

    To get around this, in the scribblings that pass for my own wrtiings, I use a phonetic spelling, I.e. Every-Bawwwwwwdy, rock yer Bawwwwwwwdy."

    If this is any example, unicorns (especially Marigold) have some particularly strange ideas about questing songs! :D

    My first thought was Somewhere Over the Rainbow, but it doesn’t have a good marching beat.

    I love the legwarmers.As they approach Dakota’s place, I would suggest the Light World dungeon theme from Link To The Past as BGM.

    I must admit I was thinking something more along the lines of “Star Wars” pomp was what I had in mind for questing. But then, I’ve never really been….

    At one time, Simpson would’ve had Felicia singing this.

    Sometimes I wish that comics had audio, so that you could hear (at least in this case) what those fancy fonts sound like. Not to mention appropriate background music. And lordy, how I love those leggings!

    Best questing music ever, the overworld theme from Legend of Zelda, especially the remix from Link’s Awakening.

    The only half-decent Backstreet Boys song! :P
