HOMESTAR RUNNER: Hey, you guessed right. What da ya know?

{Homestar looks around a bit as Marty starts to play the drums. Flansburgh and Linnell then begin to play.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: {singing} Vitamins
Take your vitamins
Put 'em in that plastic thing

They can't get me down
I try to rock and roll
And they steal my soul
My soul

HOMESTAR RUNNER: {not singing} I have trouble with my Rs.

{Homestar then proceeds to bite the top of his music stand as the video ends.}

Fun Facts

Remarks

• The camera angle is different from Puppet Jam: Bad Jokes and Puppet Jam: Tropical Lazor Beams.
• This is the first time Homestar has acknowledged his rhotacism.
  • Strangely enough, however, when Homestar says "It's true" during this scene, he pronounces it properly, instead of saying "it's twue."
• "Accordion" is misspelled as "accordian" on the title card.
