Last week, in anticipation of the opening of The Simpsons Movie, Kathy O'Connell of XPN named her Top 5 Musical Moments From The Simpsons. After 18 seasons (and counting) on the air, there could easily be 885 of them. Hers are all excellent choices, but I came up with a few more:-the Ramones sing “Happy Birthday Mr. Burns”, after which Burns orders "have the Rolling Stones killed"
-Homer yells at Bachman-Turner Overdrive to play “Takin’ Care of Business”, then later, “get to the ‘working overtime’ part!”
-the Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show theme
-Fat Tony calls a radio show to threaten Homer, then requests “Radar Love” ... and Homer sings along!
-the theme from “The Sting” plays as Homer relates how in the 70s, on a visit to New York City, he was robbed, chased by pimps, had garbage dumped on him by Woody Allen … “and that’s when the CHUDs came at me”
So many great memories!
Check the movie out, too, it's a blast!
