Lyrics
TROGDOR!
TROGDOR!
Trogdor was a man!
I mean, he was a dragon-man,
Or maybe he was just a dragon...
But he was still TROGDOR!
TROGDOR!
Burninating the countryside,
Burninating the peasants,
Burninating all the peoples,
And their thatched-roof COTTAGES!
THATCHED-ROOF COTTAGES!
{guitar solo starts up}
{spoken}
Whoa! Listen to those wicked dueling guitar solos! It's like Squeedly vs. Meedly over here. Go squeedly! Go squeedly! SQUEEDLY WINS!
When all the land is in ruin,
And burnination has forsaken the countryside,
Only one guy will remain,
My money's on...
{singing}
TROGDOR!
TROGDOR!
{spoken}
And the Trogdor comes in the NIIIIIGHT!
Fun Facts
- The "meedly" in the wicked dueling guitar solos is a reference to Strong Bad Email #36 guitar.
- The rerecorded album and Guitar Hero II version have heavier guitars and a different vocal track.
- The Brothers Chaps use this remixed version (without the additional lyrics) in Happy Trogday.
- The song is an unlockable bonus track in the game Guitar Hero II for PlayStation 2 and Xbox 360 (see the screenshot at the right and the demonstration video on YouTube). It has become popular to use this song to compare players' scores against one another's. It also has the distinction of being the only on-disk song in the NTSC region for the entire Guitar Hero series that has not had every note hit in a single run or had any extra notes added, as the notes per second in the strumming during the solo exceeds the engine's strum limit.
- The loading screen says, "For squeedlies, mash on the trembolo. For meedlies, tune up on your chord surpassers. Oh, and I'm awesome."
- The song is partially in an unusual time signature, 9/4 time. This could also be interpreted as one measure of 4/4 time followed by one measure of 5/4 time. Additionally, there is a single 3/4 interruption immediately before Strong Bad begins screaming "thatched-roof cottages."
- The song has a jazz rendition that can be heard randomly while playing Poker Night at the Inventory.
