Spunky Animations One of Homer’s talents is songwriting, he comes up with a song that wins Lisa a place in a tournament in a few minutes (from “a star is torn”)
Homer always had the ability to write and come up with very detailed pieces. But the newer seasons dumb him down to make him seem like he can’t do anything
It’s a reference to the Simpsons episode that this song came from. The person that wanted the strange “single plum floating in perfume in a men’s hat” is Barney Gumble’s new girlfriend he gets and loses in this episode.
Only the Simpsons would have the comedic brilliance to say: “hey let’s do a Beatles tribute episode! But What kind of music should they play?” “Barbershop quartet.”
Actually this song has some what of a Beatles-type sound to it. It sounds a little like _"When I'm Sixty Four."_ I actually picture Ringo singing this one as a deep cut buried in the middle of a Beatles album...
Well, you’re technically right, but I believe it’s more about how he enjoyed the fact that the ‘Baby on Board’ sticker allowed him to use the carpool lane.
Lyrics: Baby on board How I've adored That sign on my car's windowpane. Bounce in my step, Loaded with pep, 'Cause I'm drivin' in the carpool lane. Call me a square, Friend I don't care, 'Cause that little yellow sign can't be ignored. I'm telling you it's mighty nice. Each trip's a trip to paradise With my baby on board. Composer Lyricist: Homer Jay Simpson
"Hello Homer, I'm George Harrison." "Oh my god! OH MY GOD...! Where did you get that Brownie!?" "Over there, there's a big pile of them." "Oooh man!" "Well, what a nice fella."
Jesus this era of the Simpson’s was a fucking golden heaven for us growing up! I mean seriously what other cartoon of it’s time provided this much sentiment, talent, comedy and heartfelt characters
my dad loves the Simpson’s and every night we used to watch the older seasons together during dinner and before i had to go to bed we would watch it on our fat tv in my dads room until it was time to go to bed and now sometimes my dad quotes lines from episodes of the simpson’s i wasn’t born early enough to watch it when it first came out but boy do i still love it more then ever it really did lose its touch after some time but i still can’t forget how much i love this show it’s so good
@@TrashWoodBand Rick and Morty is not the best comparison. Most people still don’t know Rick and Morty exists. It hasn’t even seeped into the collective consciousness of the whole world. The Simpsons, however, have succeeded in that. The Simpsons made you laugh and cry in the same episode all while teaching a very great life lesson. There’s just no comparison.
For me the Simpson really was good with general Bart, and 90% or season 2 was really fun, and continued until season 10, where we got occasional bangers, until season 20. That’s when the hdtv started
Homer in multiple episodes proved he's something of a musical genius. With him being the composer and writer for the B-Sharps, him writing a Springfield tribute song for Lisa's singing audition in a minute, and also creating the grunge genre in this universe.
“I’m telling you it’s mighty nice, each trip’s a trip to paradise, with my baby on board!” 🥲 As a dad of now teenagers, this brought me back great memories.
This is such a great song, simply put this is someone loving their baby on board sign because they can use the carpool lane. I never heard the lyrics fully before (background noise mostly) but always just assumed it was something to with the singer's partner (or child) Those were the days
This song was actually really damn well made. It sounded like the the writers of the Simpsons really wanted to make this song sound good, instead of just plain making fun of the Beatles like any other show would if they made a parody of them. This has to be one of my favorite episodes since it’s chronologically correct based on the Beatles timeline, and it’s very well done. Oh, and the song slaps
This is such a craftly made touching little piece of music in a way I always have to get through the whole piece or I would feel incomplete. Thank you the simpsons
@@RafaelMichaelJackson im on season 13 and i actually love every season ive watched so far.. i dont personally feel like the show went downhill as much as people say
This reminds us how the Simpsons started off amazing and had so much potential. But after so long the series lost the spirit we adored. Though we still watch it.
This reminds me of when I wanted to do a barber shop quartet kind of thing. Still wish I could do one just once. It may be outdated but I still enjoy it and will never forget about barbershop quartets
@@morbidmirror Sadly by now I won't be able to. For one its outdated plus if I were to sing in an group like that I would have to find people actually willing to do it. I have never heard anyone talk about this kind of singing in 2017 and 2018 so I don't think any one would be willing to actually sing in this style anymore. So basically, I probably would not be able to
I am learning how the play the Piano, and I have been a fan of the Simpsons since I was like 5. The fact the Quartet is called "The Be Sharps" is incredible.
Y'know something that never struck me before is that this song is EXACTLY the kind of thing Paul McCartney was writing in the mid/late Beatles period. John referred to it as 'Paul's granny music', but god damn could McCartney write. Honey Pie, Your Mother Should Know, When I'm 64 are just a few off the top of my head. All genius.
@@Zooperdoop I can respect that. I tend to ping-pong between favourites, but Revolver was my introduction to The Beatles (first full LP I listened to, anyway) so I have a particular soft spot for that album, especially the closer Tomorrow Never Knows. Just incredible. Aside from that, Hey Bulldog and Glass Onion both fucking slap for me.
I've actually witnessed them perform again in 93, on the rooftop of a little bar in Springfield! They must have had a little reunion! That was literally the biggest surprise for me that year, because what are the odds of them performing, after years of silence, in a town like this??
Barney is in the left ear. Seymour and Apu are in the Right ear, and Homer is in the middle. The only thing that matches up is homer being in the middle of both the song and the album cover.
