Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for January 09, 2025

Gotta try a different radio station.

Weird Al’s debut.

Polka time.

A rare adult voice

Weird Al Yankovic interprets Hooked on Classics

I wonder what Beethoven’s piano sonata would sound like on an accordion. Pianos and accordions do have similar looking keyboards, so it should sound pretty close… shouldn’t it?

No self-respecting AM station back in the 50’s wouldn’t have at least a Beethoven LP or two hanging around…

Mr. Yankovic SENIOR.

What an insult!

On an episode of M*A*S*H, Charles turned up his nose to a USO accordion player, saying he couldn’t respect an instrument that one had to wear in order to play. I wonder what he thought of Sousaphones?

On a semi-related thought, I have a cajon, which one plays while sitting on it.

I used to have a lot of fun as a teen in the late nineties calling the local radio stations to request songs then scrambling to hit record on my radio/cassette player making tapes of the “perfect Playlists” lol. And I still have a cassette tape from then that my then boyfriend (now husband) made for me full of love songs tho I don’t have anything that’ll play it

I am very sympathetic!

“Alexa, play Beethoven’s 29th Piano Sonata.” “OK, playing ‘Welcome to the Black Parade’ by ‘My Chemical Romance’ on Spotify.”

Should’ve made his request to the Public Radio station.

Not the best substitute ever…

Weird Al with a parody of Beethoven’s 5th Symphony. I wanna hear that!

I’d be mad too, Schroeder.

I’ve known pianists who started working on that sonata and ended up throwing in the towel and playing something else instead…

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAcckk!

But first, this word from the makers of Geritol…
