Emobubs: /* R&B Jam speculation */

==Easter Eggs==
Well pretty good but I only found one Easter Egg it's when you click at the end "Love poems"
:There's actually '''two''' by my count. {{User:DevonM/sig}} 05:47, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
==Gerly Werly?==
*"I herly perly on gerly wurly" is a reference to a lyric in the Manfred Mann song "Blinded By the Light." The lyric is "And little Early-Pearly came by in his curly-wurly."
I'm not sure if this is right or not. It seems like its more of a a stereotypical unintelligible British-style statement (no offense to those across the pond). Can I get a witness? {{User:DevonM/sig}} 07:16, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
:I don't quite follow. Maybe if you could give an example of something ... similar? {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 07:17, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
::I'm not quite sure, but I swear I've heard that type of speech 'fore. And I'm PRETTY '''DANG''' '''''SURE''''' of it. {{User:DevonM/sig}} 07:19, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
:::Ditto. --[[User:75.8.93.33|75.8.93.33]] 10:02, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
::::I clearly remember that type of speech being used in Rodgers and Hammerstein's South Pacific, in the song Honey Bun: Her hair is curly-whirly, her curls are hurly-burly, her lips are pips, I call her hips, twirly and whirly! {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 19:23, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
:::::Since the guy says "Shakespeared," I find it most likely to be referring to "Macbeth," where the witch speaks the line "When the hurly burly's done.

== Green Tongue? ==

Anyone else notice Tenerence Love's green tongue?{{User:Bassbone/sig}} 09:53, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
:Yeah. But then again, I'd expect that from a PBTC-done clip. Color inaccuracies like the purple boxing gloves and underwears. --[[User:75.8.93.33|75.8.93.33]] 10:04, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

== Homestar's poem ==

I know it's a type of poem, I just forgot the name. Can anyone remind me? --[[User:75.8.93.33|75.8.93.33]] 10:22, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
:It's an [[Wikipedia:Acrostic|acrostic]] poem. {{User:Shwoo/sig}} 10:31, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
::Oh yeah! Thank you. Now I can put that reference in [[Not X]] --[[User:75.8.93.33|75.8.93.33]] 10:36, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

==Email Deuce Aught Aught==

Sooo, email 200 right around the corner. What's a possible theme? Who's birfday it is? And I KNOW the KB ain't the plaice for speculation. --[[User:70.108.2.233|70.108.2.233]] 11:57, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

== R&B Jam speculation ==

Doesn't it kind of sound a bit, melody-wise like [[wikipedia:Video Killed the Radio Star|Video Killed the Radio Star]] by [[wikipedia:The Buggles|The Buggles]]? -Alex H.
~I thought it sounded like the beat from Grumble Cakes, actually. --[[User:EmoBubs|EMOBUBS 23:26, 26 May 2008 (UTC)]]

== The Rub [Doctor] ==

The entry currently says that the blackboard has the word 'Rub' and an arrow pointing to Strong Bad. I thought the arrow was just pointing down, so that the board reads
'Rubdown'. Geddit?

== Sky Mall ==
I know this is already in the reference section, but I believe Homestar mentioning that he buys all his groceries from [[wikipedia:Sky Mall|Sky Mall]] is a further reference to comedian [[wikipedia:Jim Gaffigan|Jim Gaffigan]]. One of his famous jokes is about the cereal on the bottom shelf without a box, "like it's homeless." So then he doesn't want to admit he's actually buying this ceareal to the cashier, so he says he's "holding it for a friend," and that he "buys all his groceries from [[wikipedia:Sharper Image|Sharper Image]], you know, uh, Sky Mall."--[[User:ItalianBallerina|ItalianBallerina]] 9:37, 26 May 2008 (CT)

== It's a Ham Jam ==

<blockquote>
This is Tenerence Love with a sweaty overweight '''jam!''' My name is Tenerence Love with a sweaty overweight '''ham/jam!'''
</blockquote>
Everyone seems to agree that "jam" is the word the first time, tons disagree about the second. Let's put our heads together. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 17:02, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
:I am confident that the second line (not the first!) of Tenerence Love's song describes an overweight ''ham'', rather than jam. People keep trying to change it to "jam". Do other people actually hear "jam" there? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:02, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
::I hear "ham". (There's definitely no /dj/ sound.) It also makes sense, as hams are five, ten, or even twenty pounds. (Incidentally, I listened to it closely before even knowing what the specifics of this discussion were, and without being told what to listen for.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:20, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
:::As the guy who transcribed it, I'm not sure. I can't hear any consonant clearly, though I suppose "h" would be easier to hide, meaning it's a bit more likely to be "ham". {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 19:20, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
::::I heard "jam", then "ham" before I knew there was disagreement about it. It's certainly a jam, and then "ham" is somewhat of a random word that happens to rhyme. Just listened to it again, and the second one definitely sounds like "ham". -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 21:56, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
:::::Definitely "'''[[ham]]'''" {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 22:12, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

== Release Date ==

This was on at some point before 10:30 last night, that would be the 25th. [[User:20X6 GEM|20X6 GEM]] 17:56, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
:It was released just after midnight, if I recall correctly, in EST (TBC's timezone as well as mine). So it was on Monday. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 18:34, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
:I woke up at 2 AM this morning (CDT, UTC -5) and this was up when I checked at 3 A. At about 5:30 I looked at Google's only result for sbemail195, and it said "5 hours ago." It's cutting it close (very early toon), but it was right around the break of Monday. --[[User:75.8.93.33|75.8.93.33]] 18:42, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
::The file modified date is Monday, May 26, 2008 12:40:13 AM (EDT). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:57, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
I live in Arizona, so it could be a time zone thing. I believe there is a three hour difference between me and the Chaps, so that would explain it. [[User:20X6 GEM|20X6 GEM]] 19:21, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

== Homestar singing ==

Homestar's singing sounds to me like a reference to "Jam On It" by Newcleus. The way he performs the "This mo'nin'! This mo'nin'! This mo, re-mo, re-mo-mo'nin'!" rythmically sounds like "Jam on it! Jam on it! I said jam on-on-on, jam on it!" from that song.
:Huh. I just listened to the song and it ''did'' sound a bit like Homestar's "Mo'nin" song. And it would make sense knowing TBC's common references to 80s hip-hop songs. {{User:DevonM/sig}} 21:39, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Maybe it is just me, but where the transcript says "And Coach Z would wear this cool jacket." I keep hearing "And Coach Z would wear a schooljacket". Does anyone agree?

I do, and I don't think it's a matter of opinion as atleast the mp3 version of the song goes "would wear a schooljacket" - 212.94.80.106

===Beastie Boys (Declined)===
"This next one is the fourteenth song on my forty-second album" is a paraphrase of the Beastie Boys' [http://www.beastieboys.com/] introduction to their song "Jimmy James" on their album "Check Your Head". In that song, the Beasties begin by saying, "This Next One, Is The First Song On Our New Album..."
*'''Comment''' I STUFF'd this because it seems like a big stretch to me. I'm sure the Beastie Boys aren't the only ones who have said "this next one is the first song on our new album."
*'''Decline.''' Agreed - many bands have said this and it's way too common to be attributed to any one source. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 23:24, 14 Mar 2005 (MST)

Actually the voice at the beginning of the Beastie Boys' ''Check Your Head'' belongs to Robin Zander of Cheap Trick; it's a sample from the band's live album ''At Budokan''. (Zander was introducing the song "Surrender," the first track on ''Heaven Tonight''.) {{unsigned|71.136.230.120|03:52, 2 January 2007}}

[[Image:Marzipanmohawk.PNG|thumb|90px|Pink spiky hair?]]
I have loaded the SWF into a decompiler in an attempt to verify the "secret" fun fact currently listed in the article (which needs to be moved to a real category). I can't find the pink spiky hair anywhere, just Marzipan's big yellow mane. Can anyone verify that the pink hair really exists and that we're not actually seeing fanstuff here? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 08:29, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

I have an mp3 of the Linnell version that I bought off a seedy looking guy in the alley behind Kroger late at night that I'm willing to send to anybody who wants it for [[Best/Worst X bucks I ever spent|$5]].

== Entering email song "Check your Email and Check your Email" ==

This is actualy an vesion of They Might be Giants song "Ana Ang" off of the Lincoln CD. No one ever realized it yet.

:Really? How does the Ana Ang song go? {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 02:09, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

::There's a brief clip at [http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000003BIP/qid=1143092223/sr=2-2/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_2/102-4724388-0028131?s=music&v=glance&n=5174 Amazon]. Listen in a bit, to the rhythm section parts. There's a definite similarity. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 05:39, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

:::They're similar only in that they are heavily syncopated. The rhythms are actually quite different if you compare them in detail (unless I'm comparing it with the wrong part... from that clip Qermaq posted, would the line "All alone at the '64 world's fair" be the rhythm you're talking about?) {{User:Phlip/sig}} 12:35, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

::::I don't hear any lyrical comparison at all, but listen to the rhythm section parts under the vocals "All alone at the '64 World's Fair/Eighty dolls yelling "Small girl after all"". The chunk-y rhythm they're playing is identical to the "check--your e--mail--and check--your--e--mail" pattern - the inspiration for the email song? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 16:33, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
I don't know how familiar you are with musical notiation, and I'm too lazy to make some, so here's some timeline ASCII art:
<pre>
- * * * - * * * | - * - * - * - *
All a-lone at the six - ty - four World's fair
- * * * - * * * | - * - * - - * *
Eigh-ty dolls yel-ling "Small girl af - ter all."

* - * * - * - * | * - * - * - * -
Check your e - mail and check your e - mail.
* - * * - * - * | * - * - * - * -
Check your e - mail and check your e - mail.
(Check your e - mail and check your e - mail.)
</pre>
(stars indicate eighth-notes with notes on them, hyphens indicate eighth-note rests). The rhythms are rather different - in particular, the "'64 World's fair" bit is off the beat, whereas the second "check your email" bit is on the beat. Interspersing regular rhythms in a syncopated piece is reasonably common (it's a little thing called contrast), Ana Ng is hardly the only song to do it... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 16:57, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
:No, no, no. Read my post. The word rhythm is very different. I'm comparing the rhythm of the "check your email" to the RHYTHM SECTION PART under the vocals in that spot. Not the lyrics. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 17:04, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
Let me demonstrate. <pre>
- * * * - * * * | - * - * - * - * (lyrics rhythm)
All a-lone at the six - ty - four World's fair (lyrics)
* - * * - * - * | * - * - * - * - (rhythm section rhythm)
Check your e- mail and check your e- mail (let's all sing along!)
</pre>

See? I'm not saying this is necessarily notable enough to go over there on the page, but it's certainly a striking... striking thing. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 17:32, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
:Hey, you're right! Wow, I didn't notice that... Ordinarily I'd chalk it up to coincidence, but there is already a heavy [[TMBG]] influence in this email... Hmm... I'm gonna take it to [[STUFF]]. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 17:47, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

== 3 (thousand) is clearly a smaller number than a million ==

Depending on just how narrow the box filled with peas is, and based on the diameter of a pea compared to the width of the box, it would only hold around 3000 to 8000 peas. (Props to [[User:Phlip|Phlip]] for most of the math on this one.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:42, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

:'''SURGEON GENERAL'S WARNING:''' The following post contains large amounts of mathematics and geometry, which may be dangerous to your health. Persons who are of the faint-of-heart are advised not to read further. Side-effects include confusion, nausea, and disorientation. On the blown-up full-screen version I have on my screen, a pea is 28 pixels in diameter, and the front of the box is 515 pixels wide and 484 pixels tall, or 18.4x17.3 pea-diameters (henceforth abbreviated as "pd"). I see the box as about cuboid, with a depth of about 18pd, It's dot com sees it as significantly shorter (because there's fewer planks and based on the width of the box's frame), about 6pd (hence the 3000-8000 range in It's dot com's post). An individual pea has a radius of ½pd (of course), so its volume is (4/3)πr³ = 0.52pd³. The size of the box if it's near-cube is 18.4x17.3x18 = 5667pd³. The [[Wikipedia:Sphere packing|packing efficiency of spheres]] is about 75% (meaning that when you fill a box with spheres, about 25% is empty space) so only about 4258pd³ actually contains peas. Divide that by 0.52pd³, getting a bit over 8000 peas. If you say the box is 6pd deep, then you get closer to 3000 peas. However, this is taking into account the rather large size of the peas in the box... given a much smaller pea, a more realistic 7mm-diameter pea (or ¼") has a volume of 180mm³, a million taking 180,000,000mm³, or 240,000,000mm³ after the packing efficiency. This is the volume of a cube 620mm along each side, or about 24 inches – quite a bit smaller than the KoT's box (so a box that you could fit the KoT in could easily hold many more than a million peas). NB: All of this is not counting the space taken up by the King of Town himself, but as Tom pointed out, the label on the box just says that at one time it held a million peas. It doesn't have to have that amount in there now that the KoT is in there. Also, this uses the 75% packing efficiency of spheres, which is for a regular [[Wikipedia:Close-packing|close-packing]] arrangement, for a more reasonable random arrangement you'd get for just pouring peas into a box, it'd be significantly less. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 06:14, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Are you sure Strong Bad doesn't say "his cool jacket" instead of "this cool jacket"? -[[User:Jimmy91|Jimmy91]] 18:40, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
:Very sorry for bringing up this post that was over a year old, but I was just going to ask the same question before I saw that it has already been asked, but not answered. I personally hear "his cool jacket" not "this cool jacket." (Even when I listen to the DVD version of it). {{User:GuardDuck/sig}} 05:30, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

==Place==

I don't know which side of the argument I agree with regarding if the proper grammer for stongbad's quote at the end is correct or not. I can see the argument that it is incorrect because the easter egg makes it seem like it refers to a location (such as a city/state) called place. Thus it should be "I gotta go to Place." While it can also be argued that it could be like "home" where the "to" is not needed. . .I though would tend to say that the grammer is incorrect. Either way though. . . - [[User:Ilko Skevüld's Teh C|Ilko Skevüld's Teh C]] 01:05, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
*I tend to think of it as forgetting or deliberately leaving off the "s" at the end of "place'''''s'''''," if, of course, he wasn't trying to be [[vague]], as he usually is when it comes to getting out of embarrassing or otherwise awkward situations.
