Hey everybody everybody! I was looking for a new decal sticker for my car since the old one peeled, and discovered that iPhone has Homestar Runner ‘stickers’ for messaging! In App Store free. Have fun!
Was completely surprised to see this :0 it’s in testout
The songs "Everybody Everybody" (as memorably featured in the old intro) and the Homestar Runner theme song (first heard in the Mario Paint animation) were both inspired by the song "Gamera March", a cheery tune featuring a chorus of Japanese children.

This was revealed in a 2001 interview with retro CRUSH:
What was the influence for the "Everybody" theme song? It almost reminds me of something Shonen Knife would have done.
Mike: We had the music done and were going to leave it at that, but as I was listening to it, I started singing the 'Everybody, Everybody' part. So we recorded it and sped up our voices.
Matt: With both that and the Homestar Runner theme song I was thinking of the English-language version of the Gamera theme song. You know, "Gamera is really neat, Gamera is turtle meat" and all that. Japanese kids are awesome.
The lyrics that Matt quotes imply that he learned about the song from its memorable feature on Mystery Science Theater 3000 (episode 312, Gamera vs Guiron), where they sang parody English lyrics including "Gamera is really neat! Gamera is filled with meat!"
Does anyone have an extra copy of strong bad emails disc 6 they are willing to part with? Mine got cracked during my move last week and I’m willing to pay eBay price for it
There's a girl at my job who fits this pic to a T. She has dreadlocks so even the hair matches. I always hear "Teen Girl Squad!" in my head whenever she walks past me.
Note: I'm not mocking this girl or the outfit. I just think that finding a human match is awesome and hilarious.
