[edit] Background

The Brothers Chaps (abbreviated TBC) are Matt and Mike Chapman, the people behind Homestar Runner. Matt provides most of the voices for the site including Homestar Runner and Strong Bad, along with Melissa "Missy" Palmer, Mike's wife, who provides the voice of Marzipan. Matt and Mike both do the animation for the site.

[edit] TMBG Song Collaborations

TMBG composed the music for Different Town for their site and the Brothers wrote the words. The original version, sung by John Linnell, can be found as a commentary audio track on the Strong Bad Emails DVD. TMBG and TBC have also produced a series of "Puppet Jams," short videos featuring jams between TMBG and Homestar Runner himself. Bad Jokes, Tropical Lazor Beams, Vitamins, Celebrities, Mission Control, President's Daughter, Apple Juice Blues, and Everybody Knows It are all Puppet Jam Recordings.

In 2008, TMBG wrote and sang the intro song to Strong Bad e-mail 200, email thunder, where John Linnell voiced The Poopsmith. Because the Poopsmith has taken a vow of silence and never spoken before e-mail 200, John Linnell is the only, and therefore official, voice of the Poopsmith, making the Poopsmith the only character on Homestarrunner.com that isn't voiced by Matt Chapman, Mike Chapman, or Missy Palmer. In a coincidence, one of the other times that The Poopsmith's voice has been heard was in an imaginary sequence in Different Town.

Podcast 37A also features a work-in-progress song called Crystal Fortress. The song was performed by TMBG, and contains voice-overs by Strong Bad and Limozeen. During the podcast, Flansburgh mentioned that they are hoping to use it in a future collaboration with The Brothers.

The Brothers Chaps produced a video for They Might Be Giants' Experimental Film. They also created a video for the song Figure Eight, which was released on Here Come The 123s.
