"You can meet me down at the arcade!"

A lot of the time, when one or more characters sings to music, they sing in a key that does not match the tune they are singing to. This usually happens when the music clip is very brief.

Examples

  • The Best Decemberween Ever — Strong Sad and Strong Bad's parts in the song at the end are extremely flat.
  • Email for kids (Easter egg) — When "All Is On" is heard, the singer is way out of key.
  • Email old comics — The last chord in the "She Partied Without Dancing" clip is wrong.
  • Halloween Potion-Ma-Jig — If Homestar Runner tries to "sing a song" to get a stirring utensil from Bubs, the song will be nonsensical and hideously off-key, causing Bubs to plug his ears before handing Homestar a chewed-up pen.
  • One Two, One TwoStrong Bad doesn't match Marzipan's key. Furthermore, his final line is extremely wobbly.
  • Email fan club — When Strong Sad sings the National Anthem, he's slightly sharp.
  • Jibblies 2 — As Marzipan tunes her guitar, she sings letters resembling strings other than the ones she plays while she sings them.
  • Where U Goin' 2 — Marzipan says, "This part's in D." The Cheat sings an off-key note. Marzipan says, "Ooh, that's not D." The Cheat then sings a much higher, but still off-key, note. Marzipan says, "How about C?" causing The Cheat to yell at her and storm off. Marzipan remarks that this is "close enough". Furthermore, the entire song is actually in E minor.
  • Secret Song — Homestar slides around while singing, and his piano accompaniment is similarly off. He also plays a wrong chord near the end.
