"Strong Bad Sings (and Other Type Hits)" is an audio CD featuring songs by characters from Homestar Runner. [Hirsch, Deborah. (July 22, 2003) Orlando Sentinel "Tooned in" The curious characters on Homestar Runner look to be more than just an Internet fad. The site's 200,000 daily hits and a legion of fans mean they're a genuine phenomenon."Section: Life and times; Page E1.] "Strong Bad Sings" is the first CD spinoff from the online cartoon world of homestarrunner.com.Strauss, Neil.
