Freddy's Big Balloon is a CD and entertainment source that alleviates boredom.

Overview

A CD is used in conjunction with a ValuTech PortaDisc. It can be listened to with earbuds or headphones. CDs are regularly found in houses and in various containers. The player can reduce boredom by -5 for each line of dialog while playing the CD.

This CD plays the song Freddy's Big Balloon by band The Bojangles, released in October 1962 by label Londinium Records. From their other song Best of the Bojangles this could be another reference to British rock.

Transcript

The Bojangles:

♫ We know a man called Freddy... ♫
♫ ...and he's got a huge balloon. ♫
♫ And it's gone so bloody big... ♫
♫ We thought 'twas the falling moon! ♫
♫ We asked Freddy what's in it... ♫
♫ He said mostly just hot air... ♫
♫ ...and eggs and scraps of old cloth... ♫
♫ ...and long strands of moldy hair. ♫
♫ Freddy's heading to Mars now... ♫
♫ ...but he won't take us along. ♫
♫ We'll miss him and his balloon... ♫
♫ To Freddy, we sing this song! ♫

Effective chance calculations are based off of default 'apocalypse' loot settings, with no luck modifier, and average zombie density. The higher the density of zombies in an area, the higher the effective chance of an item spawning. Chance is also influenced by the lucky and unlucky traits. Duplicate entries do exist, but have been removed for clarity.
