DISCLAIMER: Apologies in advance everyone, I am not a musician or songwriter by any definition, I just needed something to give the artist that fit neatly with the tune. There where several other rejected lines that might have explained the situation better, that I turned down because they looked fine in text but would sound awkward if you actually try to sing it aloud in time with the music.

To the tune of Paint the Roses Red: Reprise:

🎵 "We're painting the roseies reeeed~!" 🎵

🎵 "They're going to loose their heeeeads~!" 🎵

🎵 "To our deliiight~!" 🎵

🎵 "It serves them riiiiight~!" 🎵

🎵 "To paint their roseies reeeeeeeeeed~!" 🎵

So for those who haven't guessed (or seen the original) this piece takes place in the same setting as "this prior commission":https://ponybooru.org/images/3513324 about Cadance enjoying a nice vacation living out some kinky niche fantasies in a pocket plane/dimension where she has absolute control over everything, down to the laws of physics and basics of anatomy and biology. And to start off with, she's enjoying being a more lighthearted and horny Queen of Hearts in her own take on Wonderland. ^ ^

In the previous picture, I mentioned that in Cadance's world the infamous "Off with his head!" line has some different connotations...after all, it wouldn't do to have the harem of stallions she dragged into this murdered in what's supposed to be her fun little vacation. So instead of an execution, it refers to a few types of fun punishment for the sentenced cards. X3

One of the aforementioned connotations involves having the punished card soldier having their ankles locked in the stocks and being mercilessly tickle tortured so they can “Laugh off their Heads” (or “Loose the Heads” in the sense of going crazy) by having their feet painted red with brushes. This form of punishment is referred to in the Hearts Queendom as “Painting the Roseies Red”, named for a particularly well known scene from the original story and the symbolic gesture of having one’s “Rosey little feetsies” painted red, to borrow their alicorn queen’s own terminology. >//w//<

And who else deserves to have their rosies painted red then a squad of captured enemy soldiers? Those silly spades will have a looooooooong time in the Castle Fun-geon to regret being caught by the Queen's loyal guards! Who knows what they might have done with her precious rosebush had they not been discovered? Truly, their punishment is well deserved! >:D

I wanted to use a mix of stallions here, some of which are more well known supporting characters, others of which are background ponies who really need more love...and of course, my own little Pixie Stix in there as well, because I haven't forgotten he exists. :3
