Sherman's Lagoon by Jim Toomey for October 03, 2024

Go all the way back to ragtime and boogie woogie. That’s lively stuff.

And Swing.

Can’t go wrong with ‘The girl From Ipanema’

He’s probably talking about music by Spandau Ballet

Music from The Turtles should be a good choice.

Sea turtles live to 150. Old music would be like, IDK, a waltz?

Here comes some Perry Como.

“New York, New York” by Frank Sinatra.

Just keep playing Kenny G until you die from a self-inflicted wound.

Now I have the elevator “music” from the last part of “Blues Brothers” stuck in my head. Thanks ;-/

What do you expect, Ernest? They’re turtles, always slow-moving.

I recall muzak in the ‘80s including orchestral renditions of Beatles tunes. It wasn’t all bad.

Now that’s mellow! Soporific, even.

Need to break out some Yacht Rock!!

Herman’s Hermits.

Elevator music, eh. Mantovani then.

I prefer music from the 80’s. The 1780’s.

From an orchestra in the building 1880s.

Theme…from A Summer Place…

A Summer Place, it’s the theme…

From A Summer Place, it’s the theme…

— Jasper, The Simpsons

big band…Dorsey, Goodman, Arnaz, Lombardo, Miller, Herman

Boy the way Glenn Miller played/ those songs that made the Hit Parade/guys like us, we had it made/ Those were the days

I’m thinking they need that put you to sleep forever music favored by Lawrence Welk.

Try the 50s.

Now that’s slow music.

“Um… We’re talking the 1980s, right?”

What does Karl mean in the last panel*
