Thread 149679733

This has haunted me for years. What record are they talking about?

Atomic Dog by George Clinton is the only thing that comes to mind that would have existed, but I'd be more inclined to think that it's not referencing anything specifically.

Whenever it's some totally random reference like Brazilian time travelers, I assume they are talking about something that was pop culture famous in the 70s or 80s and someone out there will get it.

I also assumed it was this or at least something similar.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Singing_Dogs

>The Singing Dogs was a Danish musical recording project in the 1950s by recording engineer and ornithologist Carl Weismann and record producer Don Charles based around manipulated recordings of dogs barking.

>Carl Weismann, while recording the sounds of birds for other projects, ended up with many recordings that were spoiled by dogs barking. Weismann found a new use for these spoiled takes by splicing together the pitches of dog barks into the pattern of songs.[1] He teamed up with Don Charles, a record producer working in Copenhagen, Denmark (not to be confused with English singer and record producer Don Charles).[2] Weismann used recordings of five dogs barking (their names were Dolly, Pearl, Pussy, Caesar, and King), spliced them on reel-to-reel tape, and arranged the pitches to the tune of the Stephen Foster song "Oh! Susanna". Charles provided the musical accompaniment. This was released by RCA Victor in 1955 as the A-side on a 7" single, with the B-side a medley of "Pat-a-Cake", "Three Blind Mice", and "Jingle Bells". The novelty record became a hit, reaching #22 on the US Billboard Pop Singles chart.[2] The disc eventually sold over a million copies.[3][4] In 1956, the troupe of dogs (with a fifth member, Pussy) were again recorded, yielding the single "Hot Dog Rock 'n Roll" b/w "Hot Dog Boogie". This recording is listed as being "directed" by Carl Weismann.

>In 1971, RCA reissued "Jingle Bells" as a single,[5] becoming a Christmas hit and hitting number one on the Billboard Christmas Singles chart in 1972.[6] Since then, the track has received frequent media exposure during the Christmas and holiday season.

it's not in the table draft (the script they read across the table when they're working on the episode) from June 1992, so presumably something that was huge in mid-late 1992 and expected to still be relevant when the episode aired in early 1993

there was/is a French band called The Barking Dogs who had an album out at that time (they may have been getting a lot of airplay on MTV or whatever, although it's unlikely since they weren't a grunge act)

that reference is apparently just that they'd already animated the scene when someone thought "non-fictional character" didn't make any sense, so they tried to fit in another descriptor that would fit the animation

and patty is transphobic!

People who lived in apartment used to put on a record of a barking dog to deter would be burglars. I’m guessing that’s what that this referring to.

>>149679733 (OP)
That description makes me think of a novelty record like Jingle Cats. It could well be something specific, I doubt Jingle Cats was the only thing like that around, but it's the only one anyone remembers.

The official Simpsons episode guide for the first eight seasons attributes that line to an actual reference.

I had both versions and loved reading them over and over. So well done and full of fun information for every episode.
