    I do not get the reference to the music in the last panel. Are they from famous comics?

    These people, Huey, Annie, etc are relentless.

    Did you just translate ‘Trogdor’ into German?

    From the Babelfish german-to-English translator:
    They run with the devil
    cry Satan’s hate
    Dead tongue! Dead Tongue!
    the dragon rises/rose at night

    Don’t know how accurate that is, and don’t know what song that’s from

    Oh, man. And I thought Chuck was going to be serenaded with “Tomorrow”, which would be bad enough.

    James: You’re pretty accurate with the translation.
    No idea what song it is.

    Dude! It’s not “Dead Tongue,” it’s Deathtongue, the classic Heavy Metal band out of Bloom County! Bill T CatT on vocals/lead tongue, Hodge-Podge on drums, Steve Dallas on vocals/guitar, and THE Opus Penguin on Electric Tuba!!!

    Yep, that’s a “hurt locker,” alright.

    The original lyrics were in a Bloom County strip:

    Run with the devil! Shout Satan’s might!
    Deathtöngue! Deathtöngue! The beast rises tonight!
    Aackthpth!

    In the original Bloom County story arc, a woman’s young son had been exposed to the music of Deathtöngue and was going around singing these lyrics. . . and had also taken up occult practices and ended up turning Steve Dallas into a zucchini. ‘Twas all a parody of the heavy metal “satanic panic” of the ’80s. . .

    Looks like Deathtöngue has been post-apocalyptically transformed into something more like Rammstein. Well *done*

    That is so awesome that Jason worked that in there. Great fans too, who can explain the various clues, since nobody is going to get them all. A lot of Sunday comic aficionados are reading weapon brown. GO CHUCK!!

    I much preferred Deathtöngue to its hair-band reincarnation as Billy and the Boingers.

    So, what are the odds the second that music started blaring ol Weapon Brown’s codename changed to something more like my name?

    You know,even before I noticed translated the lyrics and said what comic strip they were from,I like to image it was a Rammstein song,because it just seems that practical.That and they are awesome.

    @Ben: Milo Bloom also found out during the course of “investigative reporting” that when played backwards, one of their songs had a Beatlesque-hidden message – “Goooo to Schooool… Saaaay your Praaayyyers…” >;)

    Everything’s so fantastic about this page: The sudden appearance of the wall of speakers, the small “click” frame, the translation puzzle in the third frame. It’s a peak moment in a series that’s already consistently amazing.

    Not that my comment should add anything of value here but the music was actually was performed by Mucky Pup on the Flexidisc that was released with The Billy and the Boingers Bootleg
    however the Germanese version of the song made me feel like I was 10 again 😀

    When I saw that it was in German, I thought you were working the Katzenjammer Kids in there; is that the case, or was the language change-up just a way to avoid being devoured by a pack of rabid lawyers?

    ‘Cause those katz can jam!

    Right, I can safely say I’d never have spotted that one in a million years. I don’t think Bloom County was ever syndicated down under.

    I was waaaaaaaaaaaay wrong on what I thought the “enjoy the music” reference was in the last post. This is better.

    DeathtTongue is OK, but I was really hoping it'd be Beethoven, for a combined Peanuts/Clockwork Orange reference.
