STRONG BAD: {singing} Oh, tap your toes and check your email, oh a-tap your toes tonight... {stops singing}

{Strong Bad has some trouble pronouncing the surname "Highet," saying, "Hig-het. Uh, hey, hi, hi-het {with the second "h" said with a Spanish accent}, hiyet—hi-yet."}

{Throughout the email, Strong Bad types every syllable he sings.}

{Strong Bad falls out of his chair.}

Fun Facts

Explanations

  • "Arpeggio" literally means "like a harp." The term is used to indicate that the notes of a certain chord are to be played quickly one after another (usually from lowest to highest) instead of at the same moment.
  • "Trembalo" is not a proper musical term. Strong Bad misspoke and is referring to a "tremolo." A tremolo is a rapid repetition of the same note, or an alternation between two or more notes.

Remarks

  • This is the first appearance of the BMW Lighter.

Goofs

  • The number of "jug jiggas" and "meedleys" typed does not match up to the number of "jug jiggas" and "meedleys" Strong Bad sings.

Commentary Transcript

(Commentary by: Mike Chapman, Matt Chapman)

MIKE: This email is titled Guitar.

MATT: It's near and dear to our hearts.

MIKE: We grew up reading Guitar for the Practicing Musician and Guitar World and Metal Edge, and um...

MATT: Rather, our brother Donnie read all of them.

MIKE: Hit Parade, Circus Magazine

MATT: Kerrang!. Yeah.

MIKE: Yeah.

MATT: RIP. Remember the RIP?

MIKE: I think that's, that's all of them. That's so, yeah, we um... {short pause} we knew all about virtuosos and arpeggios.

{Matt laughs}

MIKE: And trembolos. I took guitar in 8th grade. I didn't, I was never very good, though.

MATT: Yeah. This one goes out to all those dudes that lurk around the guitar shop and won't go away, and all I want to do is buy some strings and maybe a pick and they make

MIKE: They make—

MATT: —me feel really intimidated and want to leave. And it seems like this actually appealed to a lot of, it seemed to get circulated among tab sites and sites that like guitar.

MIKE: Tab and, like, Diet Coke and—

MATT: Tablatures, Mike!

MIKE: Oh, oh, oh!

MATT: It's a term!

MIKE: I thought you were talking about die—diet sodas.

MATT: It's a guitar term. {pause} There you go, and of course, that later becomes a part of Trogdor, the song called Trogdor from website homestartotcom.

MIKE: There's the first appearance of the BMW lighter.

MATT: Watch as it burns the paper! So burns.

Fun Facts
