Norman vs. Normal

For the "S to the C, R O double L, my name is not Norman, but still I rock well!" rap, I always thought of it as "S to the C, R O double L, my name is not normal, but still I rock well!" If I'm the only one, then I'll shut up, but yeah. ~senor

It's certainly Norman, because Norman Rockwell is a famous painter. It's a joke. Aurora the Homestar Coder 15:28, 9 Apr 2005 (MDT)

Okay, thanks. :) — señor (Talk | contribs) 17:00, 9 April 2005 (UTC) (left unsigned)

It could also be a referance to those old emerald nuts ads, where, in one, there are two guys yelling "I am Norman and I am great! I am Norman and I am also great! I'm a greater Norman then you are!" etc. etc. — _talk Bubsty _edits 04:23, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

A long one

Is it me, or has the current rap been kept longer than the previous ones? -Kinsey

Yes, it has. —FireBird|Talk 15:35, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

Broken links

All the links to the sbemail raps on http://e2tl.playvectrex.com just come up with a "HTTP 404 Not Found" page.

These three links are the only ones that do work: http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail_lappy.swf http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail.swf http://porplemontage.com/media/sbemail_raps/Scroll%20it.swf The Tire 23:16, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I already changed all of these over to my mirror, problem solved. --Kit

Two things

First, the previous scroll rap link (scroll buttons and the Lappy) actually gives the present one.

Second, that mention of the Coach Z/Strong Bad rap duet being a reference to rampage is highly doubtful.. considering rampage came way after.

-- Mithent 12:56, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I know it would be hard now, but...

It would be cool if we had which emails the scroll button songs were active for, like for the second latest "119-130" or the latest "131-present."

Also, these shouldn't be called 'Email Raps,' they should be called 'Scroll Button Songs' or 'Scroll Button Raps' or something along those lines. »ßenit, known as señor« 23:08, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The newest Scroll Button Song

The newest scroll button song that appeared after email 131 is also the song that Marzipan sings in replacement. Strong Bad says it is the worst song ever, but apparently he uses it now. - EMJS

Smoking crack

I don't believe that Coach Z is saying anything about smoking crack in the scroll button rap duet, I *think* he is saying then you must go crash, but I could be wrong.

I definitly hear a "sh" at the end of Coach Z's rap...besides i doubt The Brothers would put such a drug reference, especially one encouraging drug use... -- Tony Stony 01:57, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Oh, he's saying crack. Make no mistake. For one thing, it rhymes with "attack." But the absolute proof is the fact that the Chaps changed it so quickly. Like, within a couple days. I don't know the exact time frame - could have sworn the dates used to be printed on this page.

I think someone found TBC explicitly saying that it's "smoke crack." But he wasn't saying "must" as in "you should do this," he was saying it as in "you probably already do." --Jay (Talk) 19:08, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I'm just saying that if you listen to it with speakers on full tilt I hear coach z saying "crash"...then again it might just be Strong Bad begining to say "scroll"...but i still hear a soft "sh" rather than a hard "ck"... -- Tony Stony 23:01, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I recommend some new speakers.

Crack rhymes with attack. That's proof enough for me. Aurora the Homestar Coder 23:08, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Yes, I agree. Crack=attack. That's definitley enüff prüff for me. --VolatileChemical 20:44, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I always thought it was: CZ: And if you're tryin' to fade me then you must smoke grass! SB: Scroll buttons aww yeah like that heart attack. I guess that doesn't really rhyme, but it's what it sounded like to me.

And as a side note, yes, they did not mean: "SMOKE IT!" They meant it as: "If you're making fun of me then obviosly you smoke something." --Kit

crash is what I hear --jake 05:33, 21 Aug 2005 (UTC)

He definitely says "smoke crash," but I think that's just his accent acting up. - Joshua

Sounds like 'grass' to me. 'smoke grass' .. it doesn't rhyme, but that's what it sounds like. marginally 'better' ^_^'

I hear a "sh" and a "ck" both at the same time. S a l t y^Talk! 04:13, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

Guys, if you have the DVD, you hear it clearly: it's "crack." 'Nuff said. --ISlayedTheKerrek 05:32, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Cut off

In the new "scroll buttons and random" rap, a sound clip of SB saying "Wha-" can be heard at the end. The sound clip is SB saying something else, but all we hear is "Wha-".

I think that this has more to do with your flash player than it does the scroll button rap. Sometimes, (and I have no idea why), the sound doesn't cut off when it's supposed to. You probably heard the start of one of the random.bat noises. --Blu Aardvark (talk) (edits) 11:13, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Moving Suggestion

I think this should be moved to "Strong Bad Scroll Button Raps". It has more relevance. -- Super Sam 14:59, 14 Sep 2005 (UTC)

I agree with Super Sam. --69.40.181.52 15:04, 14 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Sorry, I wasn't logged in. I agree with Super Sam --Smileyface11945 15:06, 14 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Well, I hear no objections, so I'll move it. -- Super Sam 12:35, 28 Sep 2005 (UTC)

I don't like it, and there should be more of a consensus before a move like that.

Username -talk 12:37, 28 Sep 2005 (UTC)

What is it called in the DVD? (If they call it something...) Anyway, I'm fine either way. - Joshua

It would be nice to know why you object. (Some HSR themed username and Lapper) To me, Email Raps are the things Strong Bad says at the start of each email. Scroll Button Raps/Songs/Whatever are the things Strong Bad says on the menu page. -- Super Sam 12:53, 28 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Update: Alright, following Joshua's suggestion, I looked at the DVD page. (strongbad_email.exe_Disc_One) It says this:

Scroll Button Songs: A video featuring every scroll button rap up until the "S to the C" rap.

I think that speaks for itself. -- Super Sam 12:58, 28 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Yep. Scroll Button Rap. Any objections now? - Joshua

For clarification - "Scroll Button Songs" is what it's called on the DVD. The "every scroll button rap" part was added by the wiki, saying what it was, but it's only called "Songs" on the DVD itself. --phlip ^T_C 17:05, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

I think I will move it back now. Rogue Leader / (my talk) 13:35, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Why? What's the problem now? When you object to something, you really should say why. -- Super Sam 07:00, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Unless I'm mistaken, his message was in response to the above discussion, and this was a comment stating that he was moving the page back to Strong Bad Email Raps. Which is were it is now. --Blu Aardvark (talk) (edits) 07:08, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I figured that. I want to know why he moved it back. -- Super Sam 10:05, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Oh, I see. I mis-read the discussion, and thought it was a decision reached by consensus. Looking over it again, I see your point. Disregard. --Blu Aardvark (talk) (edits) 11:10, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Alright. Now, unless I start getting some valid reasons why this should not be moved. "Scroll Button Songs" is the official name, as noted on this page. It's been almost a month. Reasons, or I'm moving it. -- Super Sam 12:02, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

Do it. Accuracy is best. - Joshua

Top H*R Listen button & Firefox

For most of my browsing I use firefox, and firefox gives you an interesting feature: it puts the site icons next to some of the links placed in this wiki (if you use firefox or netscape you'll know what i'm talking about, if you use IE or Opera you won't see anything). For the longest time I thought this was a feature of the wiki -- that it automatically added these sprites into the HTML code. I found out that it doesn't when I surfed this page. Ok -- on to my point in this page. If you surf this page with firefox, the first "Listen" button is shifted to the left because of the icon, and so it crossed the table boundaries, looking not-so-good! IE and opera do not do this, as I mentioned earlier, and so they look fine and line up fine.

Does anybody have an explanation as to why Firefox does this with this site
Does anyone have good suggestions as to making that table look good in both Firefox and IE (other than the one i thought of which was to make that column bigger).

--Stux 13:49, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

I saw what you were talking about. all it needed is just a fixed width. I set it up to 70. looks good? — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 14:13, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Looks great! Thanks! It bothers me though that only certain users will see what we're talking about. They probably thing we're crazy ;)... Ironic ain't it? --Stux 16:12, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

By the way, it isn't Firefox inserting the icons. The Wiki does insert them by itself, but only certain browsers (i.e. Firefox) can see them. If you are on a different browser, and wondering what we're talking about, see this image. --

ENUSY , 17:33, 13 October 2005 (BST)

Ahhh! Thank you! That clears things up a lot! If you don't mind, I'll post a link to the discussion being shown in the screenshot. --Stux 17:06, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Yes, those icons are displayed using CSS3. See the W3C specs for more information. Oh, and in addition to Firefox/Mozilla/Seamonkey/Gecko etc., I pretty sure Safari supports them, but I don't have a Mac so I couldn't tell you for sure. -- Tom 20:27, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Yes--Safari also supports them.

Main page updates

When the song is updated, I think it should be listed as "New Scroll Button Song" Instead of rap, because they haven't been raps for the past few times anyway, and it will be more correct.--Martin925 21:36, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

why isn't there

a link to the (current) second scroll button song?

Nikolce Kocovski 05:16, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

the one that says: Scroll buttons and random, you can't handle 'em. Just the way I planned 'em. Everybody likes... you... friend.

Nikolce Kocovski 04:40, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

See below. — User:ACupOfCoffee @ 04:52, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Audio / Video of other scroll button songs

I see no one got the swf of the other scroll button songs. I have a video of them in avi format (and the audio in mp3 format). Should I post them online so that they can be linked from here? DrWorm

Hmm... I don't see any problem with that. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 17:09, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

HRWiki Mirror

Can we get HRWiki mirrors for every old scroll button song possible? Similar to the one featured in If I Ran the Camera? That way it'd be neater, more secure, and updated so people can listen to ones like the Rando song. - Joshua 16:13, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

If I Ran the Camera is kind of a special case in the fact that this is (or at least was at the time of creation) the only mirror for the toon. We don't want to start mirroring everything in our little wiki. I'm pretty sure our links to mirror websites are more than enough in this case. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 16:18, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

Original mirror of If I Ran the Camera. So... that arguement isn't really true, as the HRWiki mirror came from that one. And I don't trust these mirror sites too much as they seem to have stopped updating. (So they might go offline at any moment, I think.) But I guess I'm fine with them. But what about the modern scroll button song that has no mirror? Are we going to make one for that? - Joshua 16:24, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

Oh you're right. Sorry about that. My bad. You make a pretty good case. Alright, I'm behind you, but you gotta get the vote of an admin too, to upload around a dozen toon mirrors. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 16:28, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

Sure, I'll do it. Who is up for making a list of links to the files here to make it easier for me? I think the only one you'll have a hard time finding is the Norman Rockwell one. -- Tom 15:56, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Normal Rockwell? Or did you mean the Rando one? - Joshua 16:41, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

The Rando one, that's it. Serves me right for trusting my memory and not checking the article. -- Tom 17:11, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Done. -- Tom 18:25, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

There's no lady...ing allowed?

So no one has a copy of the lady...ing scroll buttong song?! :( I'm trying to see if my any miracle I have a copy but I doubt that... Has anyone been saving the current songs? That way when they "become old" we have them ready for archiving? --Stux 19:13, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

I found a copy all by myself and Super Sam gets no credit. Yay! - Joshua 12:00, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Can't anyone find

A link to "Scroll buttons and random, you can't handle 'em. Just the way I planned 'em. Everybody likes... you... friend."

well?

Nikolce Kocovski 04:44, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

The world is saved! I found the blue ooonnneeesss!!!! - Joshua 12:00, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
