Cool Tapes is a band formed by Marzipan in the toon Cool Things. It takes its name and logo from some graffiti Homestar Runner wrote on Marzipan's wall. When Homestar went to go fetch some paint to cover it up, Marzipan tells Homestar he "took too long" to get the paint, and she, The Cheat, and Strong Mad formed the band while he was gone. Its members consist of Marzipan on guitar/vocals, Strong Mad on bass, and The Cheat on drums. Currently, they have seven known songs. The band's name is mentioned in almost all of their songs. The band went on tour through many bead shops and topiary gardens during June 2006 (according to Weclome Back), where Homsar sold "StEVEN INCHES" at their merchandise table for pi dollars.
A Cool Tapes T-Shirt was added to the Yahoo Store on July 3, 2006.
When the band competed in the Battle Royale of the Bands, they lost after Marzipan wrote a song about the "not very nice" things she suspected judges Limozeen of performing.
In Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 17.2, it is revealed that Cool Tapes had become a popular band, with sloshy and even Limozeen wanting to collaborate with them. Limozeen still wanted to collaborate even after Cool Tapes offended them in Baddest of the Bands.

Limozeen is not very nice.
Beating baby whales is not very nice.
That's why I call this song Limozeen is not very nice.
Objectifying women is not very nice.
That's why I call this song...
Limozeen is not very nice!
Bleaching up the wetlands is not very nice!
