Strong Bad Sings (and Other Type Hits) is an audio CD featuring songs by characters from Homestar Runner.[1] Strong Bad Sings is the first CD spinoff from the online cartoon world of homestarrunner.com.[2] The CD stands out since the characters' expressive nature and sarcastic wit comes across through sound alone even though they normally are present in a visual format on the website.[2]

The songs "Trogdor" and "Because It's Midnite" appear in Guitar Hero II and Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s, respectively. There is also a "Secret Song" that features Homestar Runner very late into the last track.[2] Placing this CD into your computer also allows you to see Coach Z's "These Peoples Try to Fade Me" Music Video.
