Talk:Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits

From Homestar Runner Wiki

Revision as of 20:32, 4 December 2006

Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits is a featured article, which means it showcases an important part of the Homestar Runner body of work and/or highlights the fine work of this wiki. We also might just think it's cool. If you see a way this page can be updated or improved without compromising previous work, feel free to contribute.

We've not imported the lyrics for this CD from the old wiki. Is this intentional? I don't think there's any other source of the lyrics online. -- Mithent 11:46, 1 Oct 2004 (MST)

Nope, I think it's just laziness. Feel free to go for it. — InterruptorJones[[]]

I'm working on doing the lyrics to all the songs now (since the previous lyrics are now gone with the old wiki), but I'm wondering how I could best put the lyrics on the page. Any thoughts? --TheNintenGenius 13:59, 15 Oct 2004 (MST)

I suggest that the lyrics would go on separate pages with reciprocal links to this CD. See Strongbadia National Anthem. - Drhaggis 15:26, 15 Oct 2004 (MST)

Got everything except Nite Mamas and Sweet Cuppin' Cakes, as I'm having a hard time figuring out lyrics to those two. If someone else could do those, I'd be very grateful. --TheNintenGenius 18:25, 15 Oct 2004 (MST)

I copied the stuff that was on these pages in the old Wiki. I think it's good. But take a look. -- Tom 18:50, 15 Oct 2004 (MST)

Looks good to me. If you have access to those old pages, maybe you could check some of the lyrics I wasn't sure on in some of the songs. Or at least tell me how I could access them to doublecheck. (I know there's some lyrics I didn't get) --TheNintenGenius 19:11, 15 Oct 2004 (MST)

Format

Whoever formated this page did an awesome job. --FireBird|_Talk

Page name

I keep considering changing the name of this page to Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits, to fit the full name of the album. After all, the DVD set is listed under strongbad_email.exe, so I don't see why this page should be confined to just "Strong Bad Sings CD." Any thoughts? --TheNintenGenius 20:47, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)

Amazing the things that we've overlooked for so long. I don't see any problem with renaming it. -- Tom 20:55, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)

After having done all the moving work, I can see why nobody undertook the task before, since about a jillion pages linked using Strong Bad Sings CD. Yikes. At least now this page doesn't make me cringe every time I look at it. --TheNintenGenius 23:37, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)

Well done. -- Tom 23:40, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)

worth it?

Is it worth it to get this cd?

Yes!!!!!!!!!!! It awsom!!!!!! and it's not just old stuff it's almost all new!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This... doesn't exactly belong on the discussion page. — _talk Bubsty _edits 00:33, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

1.21 jigawatts? Great Scott!

Could the "70 jg" on the cd be an extension of Back to the Future's mispronunciation of Giga-? As in Jigabytes? —AbdiViklas 17:42, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

Well, it sounds plausible to me, although I may be biased as a long-time fan of the movies (as it mentions on my userpage)... Strong Bad does kinda use '80s terms. ("Japanimation", anyone?) I rather like it. --DorianGray

More People

I don't exactly know where to put this, so I'll put it here:

I recently got the Strong Bad Sings CD, and I noticed that in the back of that little book thing, there's about a million minor people that don't have any referance here on the wiki. Examples:

• Nick Niespodziani
• Matt Sonnickson
• Eric Park
• Rob Peck

Shouldn't these people, and others, have some referance here, or elsewhere on the wiki? — _talk Bubsty _edits 01:47, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

Maybe, but unless we know who they are or what they did, they wouldn't be of much use. I don't like it. Salty^Talk! 01:51, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

We could see if there's a place on the Contributors page. "These people helped with the Strong Bad Sings CD". --DorianGray

We do know what they did. It all says on the book... thing. And I like that idea Dorian. — _talk Bubsty _edits 02:00, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

Mystery Files?

Upon entering the CD into one's PC, there are 4 files visible; the QuickTime movie (These Peoples Try To Fade Me), a readme file and a couple of other files. I don't know what they're supposed to represent, if anything. Does anyone have any idea what they're on there for? Ppk01 20:38, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

If you'll hang on a few minutes, I'll try it. —AbdiViklas 20:39, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

The Readme simply says "If it don't work, go here and download the latest player: www.quicktime.com." Aside from the .mov, the other two files are hidden files named "Desktop DB" and "Desktop DF". I don't know a lot about these super boxes, but a quick web search shows at least that they have something to do with the Mac OS and keeping track of files on the desktop. Why they were included on the CD I'll have to leave to someone more knowledgeable. —AbdiViklas 20:47, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

From what i've noticed, mac os puts these on almost any disk you put in the computer. I guess maybe TBC burned the cd on a normal mac os computer, and then sent it to a company to have it mass produced? thats my guess.--- Collin - (^T/C) 20:50, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Maybe I'm just an idiot...

I can't find the freaking video! Anyone have any trouble shooting tips? I'm using Windows, but it doesn't auto-play. I go to my computer, click on SUPER_SECRETS, and it just opens media player and plays the music. 70.127.93.127 22:52, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

I dunno about Windows. Do you have a Mac? That's what I watched it on. Bluebry 23:00, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Your computer's set up to play the CD automatically. Try right-clicking the Super Secrets link and choose "Explore". - Qermaq - (^T/C)  23:12, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Thank you so feaking much! It worked! 70.127.93.127 19:21, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
