''Home Star Run Go.''<br />
<br />
'''"Homestar Runner Theme Song"''' is an early theme song written for the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] series. Its simple, repetitive lyrics cheer on the [[Terrific Athlete|really great athlete]] [[Homestar Runner]] and his friend [[Pom Pom]] while warning of the villainous [[Strong Bad]].<br />
<br />
Briefly considered for use in an introductory video for [[homestarrunner.com|the site]], [[Old New Intro|the intro]] that was ultimately used was set to the similar, simpler tune "[[Everybody, Everybody]]". While not as enduringly popular as "Everybody, Everybody", the "Homestar Runner Theme Song" still occasionally resurfaces throughout the years.<br />

== Fun Facts ==<br />
<br />
=== Remarks ===<br />
<br />
* The lyrics mention "mom and dad". The subject of Homestar's [[Parents|parents]] (or indeed the parents of any other character in the series) is rarely broached.<br />
<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
<br />
* As explained in [[retroCRUSH Interview|an interview]], the vocals are [[The Brothers Chaps|the Brothers Chaps]]', sped up to be higher-pitched. This was inspired by the Japanese children's chorus in the "[[Gamera March]]" (which was famously parodied in ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'').<br />
** This Japanese influence can be seen prominently in the visuals for [[Super NES Visuals|Super NES]].<br />
<br />
=== Inside References ===<br />
<br />
* The lyrics praise Homestar Runner as "really great" and "athlete", mirroring the character being described as a "[[Terrific Athlete|terrific athlete]]" in ''[[Original Book|The Homestar Runner Enters the Strongest Man in the World Contest]]''.<br />
