"...My head would be an old keyboard, and when I get mad, it'd play the demo."

Casio Head Strong Bad is an incarnation of Strong Bad featured in his "kah-razy" cartoon Sweet Cuppin' Cakes, with a Casio VL-Tone keyboard for a head and larger boxing gloves. When he gets mad, his keyboard head plays demo music. When music is playing from the keyboard, dancing usually ensues.

In a @StrongBadActual post, a puppet version of Casio Head Strong Bad appeared, as Puppet Strong Bad with a Casio keyboard in place of his head.

The Brothers Chaps state in the FAQ that most of the music on Homestar Runner is done on "old Casio keyboards or worse". This may be why Casio Head Strong Bad's head is a Casio keyboard.

[edit] Music

The keyboard has been heard playing several tunes, though they appear to be done via automatic playback as Casio Head Strong Bad does not manipulate the individual keys.

  • The VL-1 demo is played to express anger. The demo is a Japanese song, "Yama no Ongakuka" ("Mountain Musicians"), though the English manual refers to it as "German Folk Song".
  • The keyboard plays a rendition of "Jingle Bells" in "Cactus Coffee and the No Tell Motel".
  • In Main Page 18, hovering the mouse over the Characters button will cause Casio Head Strong Bad to appear and play the "Rock 1" rhythm (which was notably used in the song "Da Da Da" by Trio).
