Strong Bad Sings (and Other Type Hits) is a compilation album featuring songs by Strong Bad and other characters from the Homestar Runner web cartoon series. Strong Bad Sings is the sole audio CD spinoff from the online cartoon world of homestarrunner.com. The songs represent various pastiches of popular music, such as glam metal, folk, hip hop, techno and indie rock.
The songs "Trogdor" and "Because It's Midnite" appear in Guitar Hero II and Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s, respectively. There is also a "Secret Song" that features Homestar Runner very late into the last track. The disc also contains a music video for "These Peoples Try to Fade Me", inferred to be animated by The Cheat, in the style of Powered by The Cheat (his series of ameteur Flash cartoons).
