Peter and the Colbert
Watchin' the Colbert Report online, specifically this bit where he "translates" the words of Pres. Putin -- who called Dick Cheney "Comrade Wolf." Colbert explains, "All Russian metaphors must refer back to Peter and the Wolf. In this case, Cheney is played by three French horns."
Then when the joke bombs, Colbert says, "You'd think there'd be more Prokofiev fans in the audience."
But I was laughing! Thanks, Dad, for giving me that CD as a kid. I listened to Peter and the Wolf so many times -- if CDs could wear out, that one would have.
