In Strong Bad E-mail on [http://www.homestarrunner.com](http://www.homestarrunner.com) , Strong Bad sings a little ditty when he’s loading up the e-mail directory in hsi Compy 386. I have absolutely no idea what it says, except that it sounds something like this: “If you’re trying to faze me, than you must smoke crack oh yeah scroll button like a heart attack!” Any idea what Strong Bad is _really_ saying? I’m also curious about the Homestar Runner theme song. It sounds something like a 1970s cartoon theme song, with just the word “everybody” repeated over and over again. Any idea on the lyrics? ---

Yes,the intro music for the front page is “Everybody! Everybody!” as for the intro bit on the SB emails I have no idea what Coach Z says the first bit is “And if you’re trying to fade me” and the last one is “Scroll buttons, oh yeah, like that, heart attack” but the middle line I have no idea “Then you must something” ---

I think Coach Z is saying, “If you’re trying to fade me, then you must smoke grass.” Then Strong Bad joins in with, “Scroll buttons, oh yeah, like that heart attack.” It’s sort of related to the last one, which was “(something something) scrollin’ back, scroll buttons get ill like a heart attack.” It stuck out to me because “grass” doesn’t rhyme with “attack.” Either I’m mishearing it, or maybe they decided that smoking crack was inappropriate to reference? ---

Wow, they changed it. It used to just be Strong Bad saying “Once you click you’re gonna scroll back, Strong’s 'bout to get ill like a heart attack” or so I heard. Weird. As for the intro, the lyrics about just “Everybody, everybody.” I don’t think its a parody of any specific cartoon. ---

Was there no rappy thing before Once you click you’re gonna scroll back, Strong’s 'bout to get ill like a heart attack? I wonder if it’ll keep going. I sure thought it was funny when I first heard the second one. ---

“If you’re trying to **faze** me, then you must smoke crack, scroll buttons (or bars) get ill like a heart attack.” ---

It was “Keep on scrollin’ on, my scriggities.” Before that was an awed “Scrollable total!” (or something like that) ---

You mean [fhqwhgads](http://www.homestarrunner.com/fhqwhgads.html)? 😉 It’s the closest Strongbad could get to [this guy’s](http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail9.html) name in an e-mail. There are some sites documenting everything about all Strongbad’s e-mails, but I can’t find any right now. 🙂 ---

Yes, I was trying to sound it out too much, thank you. ---

According to an email from the Brothers Chapman posted at one of the Homestar Runner message boards, Coach Z is saying “If yer tryin to fade me then you must smoke crack…” [http://homestarrunner.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2788&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=60](http://homestarrunner.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2788&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=60) about halfway down the page, posted by W2. Coach Z’s trouble with folks trying to fade him is earlier documented in Strong Bad Email #47, New Hands. -M
