And it’s just that easy to scare the you-know-what out of little kids. Try it, you’ll be the hit of the mall! 🙂
1977 featured the debut album from the Talking Heads and today’s song title got a lot of attention and justly so. iTunes calls it “smart, danceable and a littlel demented.” Not bad for iTunes! I can dance to the first track “Uh-Oh, Love Comes To Town” as well! Though I need a few beers in me to get me out on the dance floor.

hahahahahah … bud is the cranky record store attendant. awesome! he’s like the 70’s version of jack black’s character from high fidelity.
i remember having to deal with a couple of those types when i was a teenager and buying records. you had to ask the right question about what you wanted or you’d pretty much get shooed outta the store without being able to buy anything.
What? You mean Paul was a singer BEFORE “Say, Say, Say” came out? Hunh…
j/k Don’t beat me up. Great comic, man!
Hahaha!
And now they are going to educate the new generation by releasing a Beatles Rock Band edition…
The Frog Chorus,that’s all I have to say.
Grivit!

EWWW. LOL
RE: hotclaws – I just Googled the Frog Chorus and found the video of Paul opening an old book and a bunch of FROGS start singing. Yes, Paul did way too much smack in the day to have come up with that pile.
I remember the Paul that could play bass like NO ONE else and could sing “Long Tall Sally” in a way that made you wanna get up and move your feet! Not a guy who sings with frogs…
🙂
Trivia for you all: Today’s comic is based on an actual event in my history. I was standing in a record store looking at BTO albums when two young lads announced loudly that McCartney had been in a band BEFORE Wings. I was stunned. This was only 1977, and these kids had to be like 12 or 13, so come on, how could they have missed the freakin’ Beatles. I actually started in on them just like Bud above… except I was the one asked to leave the store. How rude.
I guess I had one too many the night before and was still a bit hung over, as I normally don’t snap at strangers in public. And, I’m not that big of a Beatles fan too, but come on…
😀
who are these “Beatles” you speak of? What are you, like.. OLD?
*winks*
@ hotclaws: I thought the Frog Chorus was a reference to the funeral scene in Shrek the Third when the frogs were singing “Live and Let Die”… Thanks to Google, I have now been thoroughly warped…
RE: dgriff13 – hey Dawn! Well, I don’t feel old… but then I stop and think that I’m old enough to be the father of most of the webcomic creators today (and who knows, I may well be for a few of you… ask you moms if they hung out with tall, skinny bass players in the 70s… ).
That’s puts a damper in the old spirits sometimes! You whipper-snapper you!
Lord Beavis – Oh, for fuck’s sake… NOW I get that Shrek joke even more! That’s hilarious in this context! 🙂
One of my questions I ask a girl on a blind date is: “How many Beatles can you name?”
The next question is: “Which ones are still alive?”
Few make it past this point of the interview. I cry myself to sleep at nights because of this.
@Jeremy: IF (and it is a big IF) I ever get on the market again, I will have similar questions (like “How much fun can you have with the command ‘rm -r *’?” and “Why did Lucas make Han Solo shoot first in the enhanced version of Episode IV?”… I too will probably cry myself to sleep… I may anyway.
What are you gonna do when you run out of music from 1977?
Ah, I use titles from groups from the 70s too, as well as the 60s. I try to keep them around 1977, but you gotta stretch it out somehow. Also, there were like 500 different songs on the charts that year (as others), so I may be getting down to Captain and Tennille songs at some point.

RE: Jeremy & lord beavis – If I ever get back on the market I’ll be too damn old to care or remember half this stuff anyway. 🙂
