Strong Bad Sings: and Other Type Hits a Review Part 2

Well the long awaited second installment of my review is now here. I will be analyzing tracks 6 through 10, so get ready.

Track 6: I cannot remember where on the Homestarrunner website I first heard this song, but either way it is a good one. The Kinda Long Haired Band sends John Mayer on a run for his money, while Strong Bad wails about that "skinny blonde girl" who is probably now running from him. College folk at its best. By the end you too will wonder if it was really in G.

Track 7: "Let's get started on all those awesome things I suggested" is a classic R&B groove, and all Strong Bad does is really just get started. This track was first mentioned on the Strong Bad Sings short. After what seems like a minute long intro into a nice sexy song, the song ends, and our next track begins. I thought it was a nice effect.

Track 8: "Moving Very Slowly" is a song by the Brothers Chaps favorite heavy metal band Taranchula. This band leans more towards the pounding guitars of Metallica, Megadeth and Anthrax, unlike Limozeen's yearnings for the better days when hairspray mattered more to music than a steady back beat. This song does not add much to the album besides a ripping guitar solo. The fade-out then fade back in effect at the end of the song was a nice effect, though.

Track 9: This is the full version of the "Sweet Cuppin Cakes Theme Song" as first heard on the crazy cartoon email. This is one of my all time favorite emails. Eh Steve! is one of my favorite cartoon characters ever. They added great lyrics that really parodied the typical style of today's cartoon theme songs. Very well done.

Track 10: Aww, Teen Girl Squad finally made their much awaited appearance on the CD. Whats her face finally gets a phone call from Paul or something. At which point she decides that she needs to sing about her apparent chances with this guy. Whether or not she actually does have a chance with this guy does not really seem to matter. What does matter is that the Brothers Chaps managed to parody the stylings of all those crappy teeny boppers like Britney, Christina, Mandy, and Jessica. Maybe they are the real Teen Girl Squad. How knows?
