Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for November 26, 2015
Transcript:
NATE: What a joke. We've got a ready made audience, and Principal Nichols is making us play elevator music! FRANCIS: Well, what can we do about it? NATE: We can play the set we planned on, that's what! I'll bet if we play something hard-core, these parents will eat it up! Why? Because they crave rock! WOMAN: Do you know "The Girl From Ipanema?"

If there is something they do know, it is what they don’t know.

Not a bad request from the parent in the last panel, if you play it the original “jazz” way but not the horrible “muzak” way…

Worked at a restaurant, had an office party of about 100 people. They were around 50 years old on average. They had a heavy metal band with amps set to 11! They complained to US! We had nothing to do with it. I always laff when people say private industry doesn’t screw up.

The ultimate elevator song, literally. In The Blues Brothers, “The Girl from Ipanema” is the song played in the elevator when Jake and Elwood going up to the county clerk’s office at the end of the movie.

Nate is gonna get the entire band in trouble if he does that. And of course, there is the chance that Nate is gonna get stage fright and then well we all know what is gonna happen then. I wouldn’t believe it if Nate and the rest of the band got away with that little scam and Francis may turn Nate down and they will get into a big fight about what music they should play. But anything that happens is going to be interesting because Lincoln Pierce knows how to draw a good comic.

They’re going to do rock music and get in trouble. Then Nate would say it was worth it and Francis would say it was not and they keep on arguing.

mugensThat’s a problem. What do you call it when the bossa is no longer nova? When Astrud does it, it isn’t Muzak.

hariseldon59The last I heard (almost a decade ago), the “girl” in the song had a radio talk show in Rio with her adult daughter. Now do you feel old?
