Most vinyls nowadays, and even back in 1986, when that strip was written (if not 1987), are set two either of two different rotation speeds; 33.3 (I forget what the decimal is) or 45. So, for one thing, Calvin's family has a quite old turntable, and since Hobbes was taking out what looked to me like an LP (which these days are usually 33s), he could almost double the speed of the composition by letting it play on 78 RPM. This translates to good noisy dance music for Calvin and Hobbes, but Calvin's mom hears something that sounds like Strauss on crack, so she comments that "either he's playing Classical Music at 78 RPM, or I'm still dreaming."
