Frazz by Jef Mallett for August 05, 2013
Transcript:
Girl: How's your summer, Mrs. Olsen? Mrs. Olsen: I'm bored. I'm the chairman of the bored. I'm a lengthy monologue. I'm living like a dog. I'm bored. Girl: I'm not bored. I'm not hallucinating that you're quoting Iggy Pop. Mrs. Olsen: Iggy Pop? That twit Frazz told me it was Engelbert Humperdinick.

if you are bored, how about turning your front lawn into a vegetable garden. and, turning your backyard into a vineyard.

Almost impossible that a young kid would know Iggy Pop lyrics, but then it’s needed for the joke.

With all due respect to Iggy Pop… I have never met a bored dog.

A little man stands in the forest, very quiet and silentand has a cloak of sheer purple.

@bigpuma: Uhm, in “Frazz” the kids are under the influence of Frazz, at least….
And there’s at least one German dreamy folk/pop song sung a few years later by the same interpreter (Ina Deter) as a hard rock song. I could very well imagine the fakeHumperdinck sing I’m Bored Spanish-Eyes-style.
[Of course, to me Engelbert Humperdinck is a 19th-century German Romantic (opera) composer, best known for Hänsel und Gretel. Mrs. Olsen wouldn’t confuse him with Iggy Pop – but then she probably only knows the pop singer who was so unimportant that he had to assume Humperdinck’s name to become famous.]
