I am with you, Beef. These are low narrations and untrue.

They are a dog's narrations.

I got to admit, seeing Bowie's narration would be interesting yet scary.
"aaaht-aht-aht-ah!"
mikeronomicon » neu1 years ago
I had Bowie's version when I was a kid, the only part he narrates is the beginning where he explains what instrument represents each character. Personally, I want Keith Richards to narrate. I would buy that in a fucking heartbeat.
shmuckeles » neu2 years ago
if those ones don't take your fancy, you could always try the Sean Connery (1971) or Patrick Stewart (1994) version

Watching that show kinda screwed up my reality for me when I was a kid. I mean there I sat, a boy of whatever age I was at the time, named Sam, thinking one day I could just climb up a ladder into a hot chick's window.

Oh my god, Prokofiev's corpse is probably still spinning at several thousand rpm just from having his name on the top of that.
aparrish » neu1 years ago
The rotation is used to generate current. For several decades Prokofiev's corpse has been an important source of renewable energy in Russia.
mangtastic » neu5 months ago
It ain't renewable if the friction caused by the rotation of his corpse causes him to eventually DISINTEGRATE.
Actually the Russian scientists probably would have quickly come up with a solution to that. Cremated, with the ashes encased in ceramic material, and used as the core of a turbine. Those Russian scientists are cunning.

for me, i like watching Roast Beef freak out, and i think the alt-text was a reference to the film Falling Down, where Michael Douglas starts freaking out and killing people because he is having kind of a shitty day.

.....I want the Weird Al version.
dj_insomniac » neu2 years ago
The Weird Al version is amazing. And the second half of the CD / side B of the cassette is "Carnival of the Animals: Part 2" in homage to Camille Saint Saëns.
gyrate » neu1 years ago
Bonus points to Mr Al for adding the "Bob the Janitor" character to the story, which the original was sorely lacking.
Sadly, the above is actually true and not just your usual zany madcap Achewood messageboard-style japery.

I'd rather the Bowie version.
I feel a dose of hate for Beef for dissing Bowie.

I just love how worked up he gets. In the fourth panel he's not even saying or thinking anything, just thrashing about in utter frustration. Every now and again I find myself pissed off enough that I'm just waving my fists around without even conciously considering why.

Bobby McFerrin is an American treasure. And while his Peter and the wolf doesn't consitute canonical, I'm sure it's an interesting interpretation of Prokofiev.

Nobody disses Ziggy Stardust and gets away wtih it. Okay, except for Beef. He's fictional so I don't see how i can punish him.

What's worse is Jack Nicholson narrating Just So Stories. That is astoundingly distressing.
mattbeetee » neu1 years ago
When I was about 9, I went round to my (now) best friend Ben's house for the first time. After the usual childhood games and bashfully meeting his parents (constantly thanking them for any displays of moderate kindness) we went off to bed at about 11. At roughly 2.30 in the morning his dad, blind drunk, stumbled into the room, and said to me "Matthew! Shhh! Listen to this, it's so important!" and proceeded to yank me out of bed, sit me down next to a record player and he gave me an enormous set of headphones. Ben was still asleep at this point. What bellowed forth from those headphones was an entire performance of Peter and the Wolf, narrated by Christopher Lee. Throughout the performance, Ben's dad waited expectantly, eyes twinkling, watching my reaction (which rarely changed from positively befuddled). Once it was over, he ushered me back to bed and that was that.
Neither of us have mentioned it once since then, and Ben is still unaware that it ever happened. Just thought I'd share that with you.
boredom_man » neu1 years ago

scorpio_nadir » neu11 months ago
Considering all the alternatives that could have happened when he yanked you out of bed, that's golden.

Man, I love Achewood, I do, I love it so god damn bad. But it's such an abusive relationship.
Stop trying to make me choose against David Bowie Achewood, knock that off. Just knock it off. You are asking me to choose between comedy gold and the god of Glam. Don't make me do it. I love you both. I need you both in my life.
That being said, anyone who doesn't like Bowie is just pure dogshit. I willingly put myself out for your lames, comrades.
mangtastic » neu5 months ago
I love david bowie as well, but I still think this strip is great.
I don't think Roast Beef is mad that David Bowie narrated something he loved, I think he is just mad that there isn't a plain old recording of it with someone who isn't famous. At least that is what I tell myself.
sustainability » neu3 weeks ago
Indeed. One does not have to hate David Bowie to wish for an unnarrated version of Peter and the Wolf. One merely needs a passing familiarity with music older than Coc... well, than David Bowie.
redmange » neu2 weeks ago
I'm just saying this isn't the only time that Achewood has gone for the Bowie.
sustainability » neu2 weeks ago
It's the only time that comes up when using the search function?

I would swear on my mother that there have been other instances, but as I do not feel like surfing the archive (for the twentieth time) yet this year, I'll just concede this to you my man.
taiga81 » neu1 weeks ago
maybe you're thinking of the spirit of Billy Idol?
alternatively, the archive search is incomplete, so it might not be there for that reason.
