Transcript

{The Cheat's record player appears on a table in Strong Bad's basement. An album cover slides onscreen, which reads "limozeen" (in sloshy's logo's font) "vs. SLOSHY" (in Limozeen's logo's font). Two feet are seen: one Hollywood Boulevard and one wearing jeans and a Chuck Taylor All-Star. At the bottom of the screen, it reads "A. Limozeen plays sloshy's 'We Don't Really Even Care About You'" and "B. sloshy plays Limozeen's 'Because, It's Midnite'". Each has "listen", "download", and "hear the original" next to it. By default, Limozeen's version of "We Don't Really Even Care About You" plays.}

{fade}

sloshy's cover of "Because, It's Midnite"

Walkin' the streets, I got a feelin',
It's leather tough, you betta believe it.
Wakin' up late, asleep in the gutter.
Breakin' the chains, you better cut me some,
Cut me some...

I got the heart-heart of a lion,
And the wings of a bat, why?
(Because, it's midnite.)
I got the heart-heart of a lion,
And the wings of a bat, why?
(Because, it's midnite.)

Liquid and leather,
(Liquid and leather.)
In equal measure.
(In equal measures.)
Champagne glass.
(Champagne glass, champagne glass.)
Mix 'em together.
(Mix it, mix it.)

Sweet city sweat, vampire love,
Crimson flows down from the wings of a dove.
Oh, floatin' over the pavement, a guitar takes flight.
I'm wearin' really tight pants! Because it's midnite.

(I got the) Heart-heart of a lion,
And the wings of a bat, why?
(Because, it's midnite.)
I got the heart-heart of a lion,
And the wings of a bat, why?
All right, we're done here.

Easter Eggs

{Teeg Dougland is standing in the back of the Space Machine and addresses the members of Limozeen.}
TEEG DOUGLAND: I'm afraid I've got some bad news, boys. sloshy's tour van is getting away.
{Cut to Larry shaking his fist at Gary}
LARRY: Gary, hit 'em with some hot licks!
{A guitar rises up in front of Gary and he grins. Cut to an external shot of the Space Machine, flying through space firing lasers while a guitar solo plays. The lasers hit the broken-down van of sloshy as it flies away.}
{Cut to the interior of the sloshy van as the guitar music fades. One band member is driving, one is turned around in the shotgun seat, and one (the glasses-wearing bassist) is sitting in the back seat.}
SLOSHY MEMBER 1: Uh, hey man, did you remember to recharge the shields?
BASSIST: Yeah... Yeah, we don't have any shields.
SLOSHY MEMBER 1: Oh... Do we have any cigarettes left?
BASSIST: Yeah, we got cigarettes.
SLOSHY MEMBER 1: Awwwesome.
{The guitar solo resumes and the sloshy van explodes.}

Fun Facts

Explanations

  • The format of the single is known as a split single, with two different bands are on one single. Split singles where two bands cover each other's songs are often done by indie bands to promote the label and the two bands, thus the page title.

Trivia

Remarks

  • The space background used in the space chase scene in the Easter egg has a noticeable seam.
  • In the Limozeen cover, the lead vocals are trilled in some parts, resulting in a rolled R sound even when there are no Rs.
  • The sloshy cover is shorter than the original.
  • Both covers are exactly 1:35 in length.

Inside References

  • The album is produced under the Cheap as Free label.
  • The boot on the cover of the album is a Hollywood Boulevard, previously worn by Strong Bad in concert.
  • The Easter egg references smoking.
    • It also references Limozeen having been "knocked off the charts in the forbidden zone by an alternative rock band".

Real-World References
