I think it's a song composed specialy for the Simpsons, it was used in the episode homer vs the 18 amendment in the scene at the bowling ally

Uh...this question was already answered. And it is an actual song.

Powerhouse, according to the post on the previous page.

Does anyone remember the episode in which Bart and Lisa are watching a Troy McClure movie in the background except someone else is doing his voice (just for that episode because Phil Hartman wasn't available)? I want to say it's one of the earlier seasons.

EDIT: Never mind, I figured it out. It's Dan Castellaneta in "Bart's Dog Gets an F".

Am I missing something here? I feel like there's a joke here, but I don't get it. The best I can come up with is "principled principal", which doesn't make much sense. Is it a reference of some kind?

I wonder about that too

My interpretation is that it's a play on tv/movie characters always being able to come up with witty quips off the top of their head

**Handsome B. Wonderful** · 06-27-2012, 09:16 PM

It's more realistic?

**musa** · 06-28-2012, 09:55 PM

Two questions that bug me in The Wandering Juvie:
- Homer is using a dressing room but the character that goes 'Yeees' and he suddenly says "Uh oh." What has been implied here?
- How did the people of Springfield know where the "wedding" was going to be held?

**Jesse Pinkman** · 06-28-2012, 09:59 PM

the "yes" guy says something about other people needing to use the dressing room and homer says "dressing room? uh-oh"; he thought it was a bathroom IIRC. haven't seen it in a while

**bomberswarm2** · 06-28-2012, 11:35 PM

In 'The Book Job' what are all the refrences to Kansas City?

**musa** · 06-30-2012, 07:25 AM

What is the name of the song that was played when Homer was chasing the Flanders family? (He was going to play golf with him.)

**yeahmkay** · 07-17-2012, 10:33 PM

This is really random but oh well:
In round springfield, Lisa and Bleeding Gums are jammin' out to Jazzman together, and then this little montage of scenes of some of lisa's favorite moments playing sax come up. In one of the flashbacks, she's playing in front of a crowd and she's wearing a white dress and I think there's a flower in her hair. If I remember correctly, I think this scene was a dream she was having in the original episode it was aired in... I think? Anyways, can someone please help me remember which episode this scene is from?? It's driving me crazy!

**Oh, that's raspberry!** · 07-17-2012, 11:03 PM

I THINK, it is from "Lisa's Pony." You can check the episode to see if I'm correct I'm honestly not sure.

**LittleMissLisaSimpson** · 07-18-2012, 07:19 AM

You are right, Oh, that's raspberry. It is from Lisa's Pony

**idea** · 07-18-2012, 01:40 PM

Hey guys I joined the forums because I wanted to know which episode Homer didn't exist and everyone had better lives?
Marge was the first lady or something. I think a ghost guided him through what life would be like without him and everything was way better.
Thanks guys!

**Oh, that's raspberry!** · 07-18-2012, 01:46 PM

You're thinking of a brief scene from Season 5's "The Last Temptation of Homer."

**Financial Panther** · 07-19-2012, 01:50 PM

@al and mike reminded me of a scene in Homer the Heretic I never quite understood. When Homer describes a guy, then says "Marge, you know who I'm talking about. He used to drive that blue car" is he referring to someone specific that we're supposed to recognize?

**Lionel Hutz** · 07-19-2012, 01:53 PM

It could have been someone specific, but my guess is that it was made up. I don't know for sure though...

**Financial Panther** · 07-19-2012, 02:21 PM

I'm not sure if I totally understand that joke then. Are we supposed to assume that we know about whom he is talking?

**Financial Panther** · 07-19-2012, 08:03 PM

Sorry, but I have another question about something I don't understand: In Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?, Homer is pulled over. When the cop gets out, Homer ducks down into his seat, and the cop says "Oh, sorry sir, I didn't know it was you." And then, Homer stops to go to the bathroom, and a guy says "Hey! What are you doing here?" Who do these people think he is?

**Lionel Hutz** · 07-19-2012, 08:06 PM

They think he's Herb. He was apparently a powerful guy before Homer fucked things up. The second guy was probably surprised to see him using a gas station restroom like a normal person.

**Jesse Pinkman** · 07-19-2012, 08:12 PM

rich, powerful people=no tickets from police.

Thank you! I didn't make that connection.

I'm pretty sure the joke is that he's talking about someone who cannot be explicitly remembered or known because of how undetailed his description is; a guy in a blue car.

**Financial Panther** · 07-19-2012, 09:01 PM

Oh. All right then. I thought there might have been more to that joke that I wasn't catching.

**zach** · 07-20-2012, 08:42 PM

he's talking about jesus.

**Financial Panther** · 07-20-2012, 08:52 PM

Jesus drove a blue car?

**zach** · 07-20-2012, 09:00 PM

Kids, let me tell you about another so-called [makes quotation marks with fingers] "wicked'' guy. He had long hair and some wild ideas. He didn't always do what other people thought was right. And that man's name was..."

you think it's gonna be jesus

I forget. But the point is... I forget that, too. Marge, you know what I'm talking about. He used to drive that blue car?

you realize he's not talking about jesus.

that's how i've always interpreted the joke.

**Handsome B. Wonderful** · 07-20-2012, 09:03 PM

Bolt the windows, lock the doors, he's coming!!!!

Oh, you're talking about Jesus?

**Financial Panther** · 07-20-2012, 09:12 PM

Thank you, zach! I get it now!!
