about

Dear Strong Bad is a song about a guy that just wants his email responded to. Sadly, the recipient has disappeared and has left no clues to his whereabouts! I tried stuffing as many homestar runner references and inside jokes as possible within this song. A fun fact is that after recording this, 2 of my fingers began to bleed; I just lost some skin. The song is a bit fast, and even the songwriter had some difficulty playing it. I don't think this song will ever be covered, but only because of the sheer difficulty and speed. (Are you asking for a challennnnnnnnge?!) Yes.

lyrics

Dear Strong Bad, how’ve ya been? I haven’t heard from you in over a year.
So I’ll send this email again though I may not be a hot girl.
I haven’t been to Strongbadia in so long I don’t like food anymore.
I’m in a band called She Likes Cloth we wrote a song it’s not about Sibbie, it’s about you
It’s about You. It’s about you it’s about you. And it’s called

Dear Strong Bad, won’t you reply?
The last email you did was sbemail two hundred five.
Dear Strong Bad, can’t you read your own sign?
It says no loafing, but you’ve been loafing since 2009.
Dear Strong Bad. Dear Strong Bad. Dear Strong Bad. Dear Strong Bad.

Now the cheat’s stuck in a dryer and there’s no one there to get him out.
You used to have a population of tire, but I’m sure everyone’s left by now.
I’ll stave it off 1-2-3, I’d sever my leg to see another video. (It’s the greatest day!)
I was arrow’d by a wave o’ babies; homestar runner .net it’s .com
It’s.com it’s.com it’s.com It’s.com

Dear Strong Bad, won’t you reply?
The last email you did was sbemail two hundred five.
Dear Strong Bad, can’t you read your own sign?
It says no loafing, but you’ve been loafing since 2009.
Dear Strong Bad. Dear Strong Bad. Dear Strong Bad. Dear Strong Bad.

Stop treating us like crap for craps and just tell us what’s goin’ on.
You brothers seem like such nice chaps, I wish you’d continue to rock rock on.
You got up and left without a geddup noise why? Now we don’t know where you are.
I can do it; I can do it 9 times, but I can’t do it without homestar!

Li’l Brudder, Moses Malone, Sickly Sam’s forever alone.
Glowstick Raves, witch’s brew, liberally applying mountain dew.
Cheerleader, so and so, what’s’er face, the ugly one.
Fhqwhgads, great jeorb, Trogdor, I miss this all and so much more.

Dear Strong Bad, won’t you reply?
The last email you did was sbemail two hundred five.
Dear Strong Bad, can’t you read your own sign?
It says no loafing, but you’ve been loafing since 2009.
Dear Strong Bad. Dear Strong Bad. Dear Strong Bad. Dear Strong Bad.
