===Trivia===
+
-
*The slot cars Homestar and Strong Bad race share those characters' colors.
+
-
*One of the pennants in the background of the bar says "[[LEMKE]]" on it.
+
-
*If you slow down the voices by around 20% you can tell that it really is the [[The Brothers Chaps]] singing, apparently with mock-Japanese accents.
+
-
*You can see the front of Homestar's face when he's driving the soap box car. The only other time this occurs is in [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]].
+
-
*The song is a remake of the one from [[Super NES]].
+
-
*This would seem to be the first appearance of the [[Big Knife]], although the said weapon is not referred to by name until [[i love you]].
+
-
*Homsar is not in the original Theme Song Video because he had not become a character yet. (However, he is in the DVD version.)
+
-
*The Chinese behind Pom Pom says "Explanation files," or less literally, "Help files."
+
-
 
+
-
=== Goofs ===
+
-
*When Homestar jumps off the diving board, he doesn't move forward in the air, and yet doesn't hit the board on his way down.
+
-
 
+
-
=== Glitches ===
+
-
*If you hit "Play Again" before the song stops playing, another instance of the song will start playing over the ending of the first one.
+
-
 
+
-
===Inside References===
+
-
*"Dokle 2" from the Arcade is used as an answer in the [[Homestar Quiz]].
+
-
*Bubs' dancing at the arcade clearly refers to the [[Dancin' Bubs]] game.
+
-
*The pool that Homestar Runner dives in was previously used in [[A Jumping Jack Contest]].
+
-
 
+
-
===Fast Forward===
+
-
*When the bugle sounds to summon Homestar in [[The King of Town DVD]], it plays this tune.
+
-
*Homestar sings to the tune of his own theme song in [[Bug In Mouth Disease]].
+
-
 
+
-
==DVD Version==
+
-
*The DVD version contains extra scenes causing the video to end at the same time as the music.
+
-
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

===Commentary Transcript===
+
-
('''Commentary by:''' [[Matt Chapman]], [[Mike Chapman]])
+
-
 
+
-
'''MATT:''' The Homestar Runner theme song, Mike. Take it away.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:''' Well, Matt, this was maybe the first video that we did.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MATT:''' Music video?
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:''' Music video that we did, yeah.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MATT:''' It was originally going to be an intro to the site; do you remember that plan?
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:''' That would have been&mdash;
+
-
 
+
-
'''MATT:''' And then we&mdash;
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' a little bit annoying.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MATT:''' Yeah! And then we realized that it was, like, a minute long! And half a meg or something.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:''' You may notice some new scenes in this version, Matt, that aren't on the one that's on the website.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MATT:''' That's right!
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Or they're not on the website right now. We were stupid before and did it a stupid way, and there were some gaps. This video was shorter than the song, and we needed more video.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MATT:''' Back when we made it, our computer was slow, so that the vide&mdash; the audio actually was in synch, right? Was it 'cause we had a bad computer that was slow?
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Yeah. Yeah, pretty much. Yup.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MATT:''' Uh, that's disgusting right there. That heaping pile of doodoo.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:''' What does 1+A equal?
+
-
 
+
-
'''MATT:''' Uh, 1+A, I think. Right?
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:''' Yeah. It's the distributive property.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MATT:''' Right.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:''' Oh! Get it, Homestar! Umm, "Homestar stinks".
+
-
 
+
-
'''MATT:''' I remember we debated for a long time whether or not to make it say "sucks" or "stinks", and we went with "stinks".
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:''' We played the safe route? ''{incomprehensible}'' Has that bowl of peanuts always been there?
+
-
 
+
-
'''MATT:''' It's a nice bowl of peanuts.
+
-
 
+
-
===Fun Facts===

-
*The [[Wikipedia:Distributivity|distributive property]] is the algebraic principle that a number multiplying a sum of two numbers is equal to the sum of the products of the first number with each of the other two (i.e., a(b+c)=ab+ac).
