Trivia / Homestar Runner Strong Bad Sings

Go To

  • Creator's Favorite: In the DVD commentary, Mike mentions that the fat bluebird that perches on Strong Bad's glove is one of his favorite characters.
  • Defictionalization: Kind of. A CD, Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits, was released in 2003 (and on Vinyl in 2020) containing various songs from the Homestar Runner site. Four songs from this shortnote  were on it.
  • Executive Meddling: The fake phone number displayed at the end was originally 1-800-BAD-SONG which at the time was a real number for a limousine service in Brooklyn, New York. The service kept getting more unwanted calls as the site gained popularity, especially by the time the above album was released in November 2003. In Spring 2004, the Brothers Chaps changed the number to 1-800-555-SBSINGS.
  • Screwed by the Lawyers: When the short was released to DVD, the song The Cheat played for Strong Mad had to be changed to "Hot Cross Buns". At the time of its release, the original song, "Happy Birthday to You!", was not in the public domain.
  • Technology Marches On: Audio cassettes had already experienced a drop in popularity at the time of this short, leaving the mainstream by the early 2000s. While not completely obsolete today, CDs would follow suit starting late in The New '10s.
