== Transcript==

''{[[The Cheat's record player]] appears on screen. A record plays, making the same noise as the Old Timey scratch line. After a few seconds, it stops and allows you to choose from The Dethemberween Thnikkaman, Cheer Up Coach Z, Seasonal Sweaters, Homestar Runner Presents: Presents, O, Decemberween, and If I Don't Get Video Games. By default, The Dethemberween Thnikkaman plays.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Singing, the Homestar Runner on the record cover moves his mouth with his eyes open.}'' 
Home...star Runner presents: presents. 
 
I'm really sorry that I got you bad presents. 
You should probably try and return all those bad presents. 
You may be shocked to find how little you get for those bad presents. 
I got 'em at the dollar store — they were fifty percent off. 
 
I'm really sorry that I got you bad presents.

==Fun Facts==
Brainkreig can only sing words starting with DE- and surprisingly decemberween is one of them
===Trivia===
*"Cheer Up Coach Z" was previously downloadable as a [[Quote of the Week]].
*"Homestar Runner Presents: Presents" was originally the background music for the toon of the same name. The vocal version is presented here for the first time.

===Remarks===
*The songs "O Holy Crap" (from [[A Holiday Greeting]]), the holiday version of "[[Intro|Everybody, Everybody]]" (from the same toon as well as on [[Decemberween Email Menu]]), and "Everyone's Looking" (from [[A Decemberween Pageant]]) are not featured here.
*All of the MP3s are hosted on Videlectrix's website. The last time Videlectrix was used to host something other than its own sake was for hosting [[Non-Sequitur Champion]] for use in the [[Store]].
*When Brainkrieg says "Spell a cuss word on the roof with Christmas lights!", they say "Christmas lights" instead of "Decemberween lights".
*Strong Sad can be heard in the background of Homestar Presents: Presents, but he never gets any presents for Decemberween as he's always locked in the bathtub.

===Inside References===
*The format of this toon echoes that of [[Limozeen vs. Sloshy]].
*Each of the songs either appear in, or refer to, the following Decemberween toons:
**[[The Best Decemberween Ever]] ("O, Decemberween")
**[[Decemberween In July]] ("[[Seasonal Sweaters]]")
**[[Homestar Presents: Presents]] ("Homestar Runner Presents: Presents")
**[[Decemberween Short Shorts]] ("Cheer Up, Coach Z")
**[[Happy Dethemberween]] ("The Dethemberween Thnikkaman")
*The auditorium that Brainkreig was playing in is from [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 8]]
*Brainkrieg first appeared in [[death metal]].
*The only song by Brainkrieg we have heard only had DE- words in it and ended with Jugga jigga Wugga ([[death metal]]) just like we see at the end of this music video
*This is another reference to [[swearing]] and [[alcohol]].
*The Homestar Runner Presents: Presents song references Homestar's past trend of getting terrible presents for the other characters, as seen in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]] and [[Homestar Presents: Presents]].

===Real-World References===
*The toon title refers to [[Wikipedia:Hooked on Classics|Hooked on Classics]], a series of albums issued by K-Tel in the 1980s, where classical music was presented with a disco or dance beat.
*Visible in the background of "hanging out at the mall" are [[Wikipedia:Burdines|Burdines]], a Florida-based department store absorbed by Macy's in 2004, and Babbage's, which was absorbed by [[Wikipedia:GameStop|GameStop]].
