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.<ref>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.</ref> Strong Bad Sings is the sole audio CD spinoff from the online cartoon world of homestarrunner.com.<ref name="playlist">Strauss, Neil. (January 25, 2004) New York Times Playlist; On Speaking Terms With The Devil. Section: 2; Page 227.</ref> 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.<ref name="playlist"/> 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).
