=== Music === The Homestar Runner site frequently features songs and videos within their animated shorts or as stand-alone entities. These are primarily sung and performed either by the characters or by fictitious artists serving as parodies of various genres. Real-life musicians [[They Might Be Giants]] have collaborated multiple times with the Homestar Runner site. In 2004, the Homestar Runner characters were featured in the music video to their song [[Experimental Film (song)|Experimental Film]]. Additionally, they have performed multiple times with a puppet of Homestar Runner. They have also collaborated on several other shorts, including Strong Bad Email #200, ''email thunder''. In Strong Bad Email #58, ''dragon'', Strong Bad is asked to draw a [[dragon]], creating '''Trogdor, the Burninator''' (stylized as '''TROGDOR, the BURNİNATOR'''), and performing his heavy metal theme song. Trogdor's popularity saw the character appear on merchandise such as T-shirts, hoodies, and posters, with an extended version of the song appearing on the CD ''Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits''. In 2002, a fictional [[Glam rock|hair metal]] band, Limozeen, was introduced as a parody of 1980s bands such as [[Skid Row (American band)|Skid Row]], [[White Lion]] and [[Poison (American band)|Poison]]; with songs including "Because, It's Midnite" and "Nite Mamas". On March 17, 2008, "Limozeen" (actually the Atlanta indie band [[Y-O-U]] along with Matt Chapman on vocals) performed a live show in Atlanta, Georgia,<ref>{{Cite web |title=Limozeen Live! |url=http://www.homestarrunner.com/limolive.html |last1=Chapman, Matt |last2=Chapman, Mike |year=2008 |website=homestarrunner.com |format=SWF |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080321133118/http://www.homestarrunner.com/limolive.html |archive-date=March 21, 2008}}</ref> and again on November 8, 2008, opening for indie pop band [[of Montreal]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Zeenin' into Larger Venues! |url=http://www.homestarrunner.com/limolive_om.html |last1=Chapman, Matt |last2=Chapman, Mike |year=2008 |website=homestarrunner.com |format=SWF |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081016061032/http://www.homestarrunner.com/limolive_om.html |archive-date=October 16, 2008}}</ref> A [[college rock]] band called Sloshy (with the logo stylized in lower case and rotated 180 degrees, with the "o" being a different color, as "'''ʎɥs<span style="color:red">o</span>ןs'''") was introduced in 2007. Sloshy features songs in the musical vein of [[Pavement (band)|Pavement]] such as "We Don't Really Even Care About You" and "The B-est of B-Sides". Other fictitious artists include Scandinavian [[death metal]] parody Taranchula (although performing more in a [[thrash metal]]/[[sludge metal]] style); rapper Peacey P, with a rapping style resembling that of [[Snoop Dogg]]; and the self-absorbed R&B artist Tenerence Love, a parody of [[Barry White]] and such artists.
