There are more songs, some games, and even a personality chart. But even the "Ask" page can't answer the burning question: why, god, why????

What's not to get. Blobbies can be any shape, but they always retain their smile. They've got a catchy themesong which helpfully lists different shapes that blobbies can take, including cavemen, calculators, and cranes. Oh, and they have adventures.

Geez, some people on metafilter are really slow in the head.

But the song! And what is a bonito?

That song really, really needs a Happy Hardcore remix.

Well, it kept one of my 5 month old daughters amused for five minutes, so I love it!

Bonito's a kind of fish, popular in Japanese dishes (and whose flakes help make up some varieties of miso soup).

"More generally, bonito can refer to any of various scombroid fishes related to but smaller than tuna"

Blobbiemorph into a scombroid fish.

Holy crap, it sounds like a Bis song. For Power Puff fans, that's the band that did the closing song. They should totall cover it. Though I don't think they're together anymore. Hmm... sending an email...

Uh, whoops... that should have been: boohbah!

I had a smile a mile wide while watching that.

There is another song with penguin that works on two levels, first as a charming children's song, and secondly as a piss-take on Coldplay.
