Singing Out of Tune

From Homestar Runner Wiki

A lot of the time, when one or more characters sings to music, they sing in a key that does not match the tune they are singing to. This usually happens when the music clip is very brief.

Examples

• The Best Decemberween Ever — Strong Sad and Strong Bad's parts in the song at the end are extremely flat.
• Halloween Potion-Ma-Jig — If Homestar tries to "sing a song" to get a stirring utensil from Bubs, the song will be nonsensical and hideously off-key, causing Bubs to plug his ears before handing Homestar a chewed-up pen.
• Email highschool — When the Mysfit-steries play "Havin' Fun With My Friends", Homestar sings several wrong notes.
• One Two, One Two — Strong Bad doesn't match Marzipan's key. Furthermore, his final line is extremely wobbly.
• Email fan club — When Strong Sad sings the Strong Badia National Anthem, he's slightly sharp.
• Teen Girl Squad Issue 15 — When Tenerence Love sings "Light Purple Cummerbund", he's a bit flat.
• Where U Goin' 2 — Marzipan says, "This part's in D." The Cheat sings an off-key note. Marzipan says, "Ooh, that's not D." The Cheat then sings a much higher, but still off-key, note. Marzipan says, "How about C?" causing The Cheat to yell at her and storm off. Marzipan remarks that this is "close enough". Furthermore, the entire song is actually in E minor.
• Secret Song — Homestar slides around while singing, and his piano accompaniment is similarly off. He also plays a wrong chord near the end.
