Lyrics

Home star run go!
Homestar run, run
Homestar run, run

Homestar Runner, really great
Homestar Runner, ath-a-lete
Homestar Runner, Pom Pom too
Homestar Runner, we love you!

Homestar run, run
Homestar run, run

Homestar Runner, do your best
Homestar Runner, pass the test
Homestar Runner, Mom and Dad
Look out, Homestar! It's Strong Bad!

Homestar run, run
Homestar run, run
Homestar run, weekdays!

Fun Facts

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.)

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—

MATT: And then we—

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.
