== Fun Facts ==
[[Image:Strong Bad Sings missing title.png|thumb|right|220px|Hidden title]]
===Trivia===
*The photos used for the background of the CD/Cassette/8-track cover have "[[Wikipedia:Corbis|corbis.com]]" in the bottom left corner of them. (It's most noticeable on the 8-Tracks: just zoom in.)
*In older versions of the Flash, the phone number at the end was 1-800-BAD-SONG. That was changed because it turned out that was a real number for a Limousine service in the New York area.
*There is another title in the song list that was never shown in the toon. It's called "Keep On Keepin' It On (I Am So Awesome)". A screen capture is shown.
*[[Mike Chapman]] is the voice of Announcer 2.
*At the end, the commentator says to call 1-800-428-64 tooty-two. This phone number actually belongs to Tank Technologies and Supply in Rogers, MN, assuming tooty-two is 22.
*Three records (LPs) would equal 135 minutes of music (2 hours, 15 minutes).
*Seven CDs worth of songs would equal, at most, 560 minutes of music (9 hours, 20 minutes).
*Twelve cassette tapes would equal 1080 minutes of music (18 hours).
*Thirty 8-track tapes would equal up to 1200 minutes of music (20 hours).

===Remarks===
*Strong Mad's eyebrows are gray for this cartoon.
*The phone number at the end is 13 digits long. Standard phone numbers in the United States include only 10 digits, however, additional letters are often added in commercials for the value of having the phone number spell a word.

===Inside References===
*The song "Who is the Guy That Wins All the Contests?" is a reference to the song Strong Bad sings to himself in [[A Jumping Jack Contest]].
*This is the first appearance of [[Tooty-two]].

===Fast Forward===
*Many of these songs are remade and featured on the CD [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]].

== DVD Version ==
*The song The Cheat plays is changed to "Hot Cross Buns".
*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]])
[[Image:Fat Bluebird.PNG|thumb|On the wiki?]]
'''MATT:''' Oh, that Fat Bluebird.

'''MIKE:''' It's the re— it's one of my favorite characters. ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' I wonder is the Fat Bluebird on the wiki?

'''MIKE:''' I dunno. Look at Strong Bad's mouth and his mask. It's before he had the highlights on his eyes—

'''MATT:''' What about that great background we're using there?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. I think I may have bought that as clip art.

'''MATT:''' Really?

'''MIKE:''' I think so.

'''MATT:''' How legitimate of you, for as early on as this was.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' Yeah. It was like five bucks, maybe. Strong Bad's mouth gets a lot, uh, wider no— back then than it does now.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, and taller. It pretty much goes from stem to stern.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' Uh, so a lot of— some of these songs we ended up making on the CD. The Strong Bad Sings CD. Now that back—

'''MIKE:''' ''{cracking up while speaking}'' That background I did not pay for!

'''MATT:''' ''{laughing}'' You didn't pay two cents for that one!

'''MIKE:''' I didn't try very hard, either!

'''MATT:''' I always enjoyed this part, though. I thought you did a good job. I was amazed that we could fit that many symbols on the screen at the s— at one time. I didn't think that was possible.

'''MIKE:''' ''{incomprehensible}''

'''MATT:''' So, here's the old announcer; he's still around. So don't, you guys, don't tell them about it; we had to change this so—

'''MIKE:''' Hot Cross Buns!

'''MATT:''' The Happy— the Happy B-day people—

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously, sings}'' Hot Cross Buns! ''{alone, speaking}'' Those Nazis! ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' ''{cracking up while speaking}'' —didn't come and make us pay them eight cents!

'''MIKE:''' The Hot Cross Buns people are totally cool. ''{laughs}'' That's my first appearance on the website, vocally.

'''MATT:''' That's true.

'''BOTH:''' It used to be 1-800-BAD-SONG—

'''MIKE:''' —and it was a real number.

'''MATT:''' It was, like, a limo driver in Brooklyn, or something, I think!

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, somebody, and he would send us angry emails about people calling that number.

===Fun Facts===
*"[[Wikipedia:Happy Birthday to You|Happy Birthday to You]]" is in fact a [[Wikipedia:Happy_Birthday_to_You#Copyright_issues_and_public_performances|copyrighted]] song, which explains The Brothers Chaps' remark about having to change the song The Cheat plays to "Hot Cross Buns".
*At the time of [[Everything Else, Volume 1]]'s release, the Fat Bluebird was not mentioned specifically on the wiki. On the first day the disc was available, the bluebird was listed in the cast at the top of this page in response to the commentary above, and then not long after that it got its own screenshot and article.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' Puppet {{Film|Homestar Runner}}, [[Other Little Girl]]

'''Date:''' November 28, 2005

'''Running Time:''' 1:25

== Transcript ==
'''OTHER LITTLE GIRL:''' ''{Climbs on the chair}'' Homestar, you need classes. You don't go to school and you don't know anything.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, you got to teach me then.

'''OTHER LITTLE GIRL:''' I am!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay, what are we going to learn today in school?

''{Cut}''

'''OTHER LITTLE GIRL:''' ''{Singing and playing the keyboard and as she sings the words appear on screen}'' You can never live in two places... 'Cause there's only one of you.

''{Cut}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's an amazing song!

''{Cut}''

'''OTHER LITTLE GIRL:''' ''{Showing a cutout of the United States}'' Um—this is... has to be held up really carefully.

''{Cut}''

'''OTHER LITTLE GIRL:''' It's called... The United States of America.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ohhh!

''{Cut}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What planet is it on?

'''OTHER LITTLE GIRL:''' Uhh... There's only one planet.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' There's only one planet now?! What happened to the rest?!

'''OTHER LITTLE GIRL:''' ''{caressing Homestar's head}'' Well, there's only one planet...that has air.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ohhhhhh!

''{Cut}''

'''OTHER LITTLE GIRL:''' Where do you live? Right here?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No. That's Texas.

'''OTHER LITTLE GIRL:''' ''{looking at the camera, amused}'' No, it's not!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No? Where is that?

'''OTHER LITTLE GIRL:''' It's Texas.

''{Cut}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Where do ''you'' live?

'''OTHER LITTLE GIRL:''' Right here in Georgia.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That looks like Miss'sippi.

'''OTHER LITTLE GIRL:''' Not Mississippi...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No?

''{Cut}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You're pretty smart, Other Little Girl. ''{She hugs him}'' Awww... That's the sweetest hug.

''{Cut}''

''{Other Little Girl hits Homestar in the head and he falls down}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oaunh!

'''OTHER LITTLE GIRL:''' ''{laughs}''

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*[[The Brothers Chaps]], like the Other Little Girl, live in Georgia.
**Homestar never actually states where he lives, thus avoiding disclosing the location of [[Free Country, USA]].

===Remarks===
*The ''Other'' Little Girl is not to be confused with [[Little Girl]] who starred in prior [[Puppet Stuff]] cartoons.

==Science again! I said science again!!==
Maybe somebody scientifically minded can help me: what law is it that says you can't be in more than one place at once? Because essentially that's what the girl's song teaches.
