So today (technically Tuesday ;) Darla got me the Strong Bad Sings CD. Yeah it r00lez :) Oddly enough the weakest songs are the ones advertised in that 2001 parody ad. It must have been difficult for them to make those into real songs. I mean, like, come on: "Somebody told me, that you were so stupid, but I didn't believe them (but now I believe them)"? They tried to mix it as some kind of a country dance song for crying out loud.
"Let's get started doing all those awesome things I suggested" was pretty rad though.. except of course that it never got started. (scratching head?)
"These peoples try to fade me" had it's high points and it's low points. Not nearly as fun to listen to nor to watch (they have a music video for it hidden on the data side of the CD) as "hip hop dance", which is on the site as the second half of the cheat-powered video "New Boots". These are both credited as singles from the album "The Z is all up ins" but I have yet to see that in stores anywhere.
Also featured are songs by What's her face, Marzipan, Taranchula, LimoZeen, and The Kind of Long-Haired Band.
LimoZeen's 'Midnight' ruled indefinately, but their 'NITE MAMAS' actually sucked really bad. Taranchula definitely rules, they kind of sound like Metalica. KLHB sounds an awful lot like Blue Rodeo, and I don't care what Strong Bad whines about they rule. "Hey, is this song really in G?"
This is all of course before they made friends with TMBG, so I am also looking forward to their next offering. :) Limozeen still has "It's tough being a box" to release.

Posted by: DeAnn at September 2, 2004 07:55 PMYes, ma'am. They made a spoof of a cd commercial in 2001, and by 2003 the demand was so high for an actual CD that they presold several thousand.. out of their niche fan base. :)
They had to drop the list price from $193.75 to $12 though of course :]
