Requested Fun Facts

Grammar Songs

Can someone gather the musical knowledge of the HRWiki users and list all the real-world songs parodied by SB's grammar songs? I'm sure that all of them are parodies of real songs; it would be exactly the kind of thing TBC would do.

Rejected Fun Facts

Scalawag

"Scalawag" may possibly be a reference to a Calvin and Hobbes strip in which Calvin and Hobbes sing the "Very Sorry Song" :

(Calvin) "I'm sorry, so sorry I took your precious flaaaaag"
(Hobbes) "Just don't do it again you scurvy scalawaaaaaag"
  • Revise Maybe "The fact that SB ends the song with the word scalawag..." DeadGuyPerez
  • Decline. Maybe it is a C & H reference. Maybe it's a reference to Southerners who supported Reconstruction. Maybe TBC just liked the sound of the word and thought it would be funny. -- tomstiff 05 Apr 2005
  • Decline. Geez, I already deleted this one! Scalawag is just a word. C&H didn't invent it. This is a huge stretch. Aurora the Homestar Coder 13:10, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
  • Decline I don't need to explain this, do I? Dasrik 14:31, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
  • Decline Calvin and Hobbes is a good comic strip, but as with the STUFF below, it is too obtuse to be called a reference to it. (Was this written by the same person as the one below?) --acekirby13 18:36, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
  • Declination Jackson So they just happen to have used the same word, and it's a reference? Not bloody likely. Besides, any fun fact with the words "may possibly be" should be burned instantly. With fire. Rudeboy87 20:01, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
  • Decline The word scalawag has been around much longer than Calvin and Hobbes. --Úħ¡ βøв 14:51, 6 Apr 2005 (MDT)
    • Second --Trogga 16:59, 7 Apr 2005 (MDT)
  • Buleeted It's a word! OWIE!

SB making fun of Coach Z... again.

The sportscaster card says "sportscarster," and spelling mistakes are atypical for Strong Bad.

I submit that this is Strong Bad poking fun at Coach Z's accent again. - KieferSkunk 18:01, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
