Nice. I'm glad someone finally provided that info. You can hear it here:

Joeynarcotic, I am sitting here with the finest scientific minds this side of the atlantic ocean, and we cannot conceive of a possible universe in which the word "dance" rhymes with "arse" and not with "pants".

Therefore we conclude that your very existence, and probably that of your nation, constitues some sort of logical paradox that ought to be addressed by an organization such as the Justice League for the good of all reality.

I guess what I am saying is don't be surprised if Superman kicks your ass.

I piss on your side of the atlantic ocean's scientific minds.

[IMGS OFF]

I agree. That makes no sense.

Shit, I performed this at Stony Brook University just a few months ago for the annual piano project. I didn't know people were looking for it. Wish I had known before.

Just listened to the song and burst out singing "Ass In Your Pants". It matches perfectly; I can only assume Onstad was listening to it at the time he wrote this.

jt is tops

what if i say i'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender.

Man, all of my comments are song lyrics. That is just all I can think of, okay.

You didn't actually think of anything then.

I'm beginning to think that Ray is named after Mr. Charles. Art Imitating life...

Now that there is a catchy tune.

I have no idea. This is a classic line, and is well deserving of a 5.

It has my 5 for the backflip alone.

I brought that t-shirt and gave it to my little sister who actually does dance like there's an ass in her pants

Is this her ass or the ass of another person simultaneously inside of her pants? It makes a crucial difference.

looks like Pat got a hold of this page and did not approve of what we all said and called us all spammers.

One word:

Jawesome.

I love the backflip. Also, none of those comments were spam at all.

Knowing what the next strip is makes this one unbearably funny

This was the very first Achewood strip I laid eyes on... one of the best ways to begin ever!

Damn Ray's athletic to do a backflip over a piano.

Another of the rare ones that actually made me laugh out loud.

<b>ASS</b> IN YOUR PANTS.

this arc has produced the goods so many times over

To this day, "dance like there's ass in your pants" is a permanent part of my vocabulary.

Hilarious, I never realized this strip ran on my birthday. "Dance like there's ass in your pants" has always been a favorite phrase of mine since I saw this.

your avi rocks my screen. bavoom.

rad.

He dances so FURIOUSLY in the second panel.

I love it: its all dancing like there's ass in your pants and then... ragtime piano.
Shit. I've always wanted to do something like that.

I imagine that that last "ass in your pants" is sung in falsetto, not entirely unlike Trent Reznor's studio falsetto (but not the whiny fasletto; more like, Closer in falsetto). Of course, Ray would always be able to pull it off live, unlike Trent (don't think I've ever heard the man do a proper falsetto live).

I like to him imagine backflipping and then busting out some Chopin, all contemplative and such.

You know a strip is gold when the alt text is a straight-up quotation

I forgot about this strip. I love ass in the pants!

I dance like I have legs in my pants. Thanks to Ray, I can see where I was going wrong!

I love how being great at piano necessarily equates to being able to do a sweet back tuck. Maybe instead of gymnastics lessons I should just take piano classes and let things flow naturally :D

humph. electronic keyboard gives no such dexterity bonuses. I now understand my error; thank you Ray.

I thought about this too, Ninjamike.

The answer is that Ray is a goddamn cat. A backflip is to a cat as shitting in a sock is a guild leader in World of Warcraft.

Don' swee' talk ma nah!

This is basically my favorite achewood strip in the entire world.
