		+
		+	Briefly considered for use in an introductory video for [[homestarrunner.com\|the site]], [[Old New Intro\|the intro]] that was ultimately used was set to the similar, simpler tune "[[Everybody, Everybody]]". While not as enduringly popular as "Everybody, Everybody", the "Homestar Runner Theme Song" still occasionally resurfaces throughout the years.
