♫ So we sleep all day and we rise at night  
And we spread our wings and take into the skies!  
And when the people all stop and stare  
And say “Why ya gotta be like that?”  
I just look them in the eye  
And tell ‘em “I was raised by bats!” ♫
 
That was from dark cabaret singer Aurelio Voltaire’s song “Raised by Bats.” Many of us animation lovers know Voltaire for performing two songs from Cartoon Network’s The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy. I’ve enjoyed listening to those songs he wrote for the cartoon, and I came to enjoy many of his other songs. One day, while working on some of my upcoming projects, I came across this particular song, and as a bat lover, I couldn’t help but listen to it. I really loved it, and it gave me inspiration to make this. My ponysona as a vampire again, and this time, Andracula is attended by all the bats of Equestria. There are times when I feel like bats have been such a huge part of my life, that I stay up late until the sunrise, and I feel like an outsider. So the song seems to really resonate with me.

Also, while I listened to Voltaire’s batty song, I would imagine my ponysona being mistreated by the bullies and jerks in Equestria, like Suri Polomare, Spoiled Rich, and Svengallop, who would then lead a charge to exterminate me but find themselves humiliated by my vampire self and the other jerks and antagonists chased off by the swarm of bats who cared for him. Voltaire makes some very awesome dark cabaret songs; they make some spooky ear worms. Nod Love
