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.}

Fun Facts
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
- This toon does not include the songs "O Holy Crap" (from A Holiday Greeting), the holiday version of "Everybody, Everybody" (from the same toon as well as on Decemberween Email Menu), or "Everyone's Looking" (from A Decemberween Pageant).
- 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.
- Brainkrieg's lyrics talk about spelling a cuss word on the roof with Christmas lights, not 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.
Fixed Goofs
- In the New Stuff section of the Toons menu, this toon was once listed at the bottom of the list as well as the top.
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")
- Brainkrieg first appeared in death metal.
- Brainkrieg also sung words that start with the letters "De", followed by the refrain of "Jugga jigga wugga!"
- 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 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 by former Electric Light Orchestra arranger Louis Clark.
- Visible in the background of "hanging out at the mall" are Burdines, a Florida-based department store absorbed by Macy's in 2004, and Babbage's, which was absorbed by GameStop.
- "O Decemberween" is a reference to "O Christmas Tree", and has the exact same tune.
