''{[[The Cheat's Record Player|The Cheat's record player]] appears on screen. A record plays, making the same noise as the Old Timey scratch line. After a few seconds, it stops and allows you to choose from The Dethemberween Thnikkaman, Cheer Up Coach Z, Seasonal Sweaters, Homestar Runner Presents: Presents, O, Decemberween, and If I Don't Get Video Games. By default, The Dethemberween Thnikkaman plays.}''

== Fun Facts ==


=== Trivia ===

* "Cheer Up Coach Z" was previously downloadable as a [[Quote of the Week]].
* "Homestar Runner Presents: Presents" was originally the background music for the [[Homestar Presents: Presents|toon]] of the same name. The vocal version is presented here for the first time.
* The [[YouTube]] description for this toon is "Check out some Decemberween songs!"


=== Remarks ===

* This toon does ''not'' include the songs "O Holy Crap" (from [[A Holiday Greeting]]), the holiday version of "[[Intro|Everybody, Everybody]]" (from the same toon as well as on [[Decemberween Email Menu]]), or "Everyone's Looking" (from [[A Decemberween Pageant]]).
* All of the MP3s are hosted on Videlectrix's website. The last time Videlectrix was used to host something other than its own sake was for hosting [[Non-Sequitur Champion]] for use in the [[Store]].
* Brainkrieg's lyrics talk about spelling a cuss word on the roof with [[Decemberween|Christmas lights]], not ''Decemberween'' lights.
* Strong Sad can be heard in the background of Homestar Presents: Presents, but he never gets any presents for Decemberween as he's always locked in the bathtub.
* The Brainkrieg video uses the old Flash paper background instead of the new, photographic one. This is probably because the graphics were copied from [[death metal]].
* The [[Audio Quality|audio quality]] in this toon is better than normal.


=== Fixed Goofs ===

* In the [[New Stuff]] section of the Toons menu, this toon was once listed at the bottom of the list as well as the top.


=== Inside References ===

* The format of this toon echoes that of [[Limozeen vs. sloshy|Limozeen vs. Sloshy]].
* Each of the songs either appear in, or refer to, the following Decemberween toons:
** [[The Best Decemberween Ever]] ("O, Decemberween")
** [[Decemberween in July|Decemberween In July]] ("[[Seasonal Sweaters]]")
** [[Homestar Presents: Presents]] ("Homestar Runner Presents: Presents")
** [[Decemberween Short Shorts]] ("Cheer Up, Coach Z")
** [[Happy Dethemberween]] ("The Dethemberween Thnikkaman")
* Brainkrieg first appeared in [[death metal]].
** Brainkrieg also sung words that start with the letters "De", followed by the refrain of "Jugga jigga wugga!"
* This is another reference to [[Swearing|swearing]] and [[Alcohol|alcohol]].
* In If I Don't Get Video Games..., Uncle Edgar's cigarette holder is another reference to [[Smoking|smoking]].
* The Homestar Runner Presents: Presents song references Homestar's past trend of getting terrible presents for the other characters, as seen in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]] and [[Homestar Presents: Presents]].


=== Real-World References ===

* The toon title refers to [[Hooked on Classics]], a series of albums issued by K-Tel in the 1980s, where classical music was presented with a disco or dance beat by former [[Electric Light Orchestra]] arranger [[Louis Clark]].
* The page title, "Listen to it Fizz!", was a slogan used by [[Alka-Seltzer]] in 1930s radio commercials.
* Visible in the background of "hanging out at the mall" are [[Burdines]], a Florida-based department store absorbed by Macy's in 2004, and Babbage's, which was absorbed by [[GameStop]].
* Uncle Edgar resembles [[Johnny Depp]] as Hunter S. Thompson from ''[[Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (film)|Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas]]''.


=== Fast Forward ===

* On December 12, 2017, a Twitter user expressed concern to [[@StrongBadActual]] that one of the song download links had stopped working. In response, a plain HTML page version of Hooked on Decemberween was released on the following day. This version contains download links to unzipped MP3s of the same songs, now hosted on homestarrunner.com proper.

* On [[@StrongBadActual Tweets 2019|December 9, 2019]], @StrongBadActual announced that Hooked on Decemberween was added to [[Music Streaming Profiles|streaming music services]] like [[Spotify]] and [[Amazon Music]]. It includes all the songs from the original, as well as two bonus songs: "[[Santaman is a Blademan]]" and "[[Death Defying Entertainment]]".


== YouTube Version ==

* The [[YouTube]] version of this toon does not include the video for "If I Don't Get Video Games..."; it stays at the record screen.
* The links to the downloads are missing, for obvious reasons.
