Apparently, this song wasn't part of the original script. It was added to pad the episode out and the way it was written was just the writers listing off things that annoyed them.
I must have seen this episode dozens of times and only JUST noticed the Egg Council guy in the egg costume at the Stonecutters meeting. Amazing. This is why classic Simpsons towers above all other comedy, there are so many layers.
@@CranberryCartoons not a joke. He's a confirmed 33rd degree Freemason. Freemasons know all. That's why The Simpsons predicted 9/11 and Seth MacFarlane's dad who was also a 33rd Mason called Seth the night before 9/11 telling him not to fly the plane the next morning.
@@thelightisahead yeah except you're not supposed to read that as anything but 6 + 12 (6+6) because of the symbolism which obviously means everything when it comes to this episode in particular.
Watching this as a kid in the 90s I wasn't really thinking about what they said as I was just too into the song and the tone and rhythm of it. Now as an adult I laugh at the many jokes in this song since I definitely have a much better understanding of it.
There's a song by The Fugs called 'CIA Man' which I feel may have been an influence on this song - considering Groening loves his out-there psychedelic music
Groening loves "Trout Mask Replica" and The Residents (so much so that he guest starred in their fan-made/only documentary: "Theory Of Obscurity"), so I wouldn't be surprised.
I heard this song years ago when Cinemasins dubbed it over the death eater meeting at the end of their Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 1 video (which makes it quite amusing that the letter to Homer is from “you know who”), and I only found out where it was from today.
"Who rigs every Oscar night?" That explains Shakespeare in Love beating out Saving Private Ryan for Best Picture in 1999 and Crash winning over Brokedown Mountain in 2006.
@@rhymereason3449 Not to mention Matt Groening is a 33rd degree Mason and look at the numerology of this episode Season 6 Episode 12 so if you add them up its 6+6+6 aka 666 and the title is Homer The Great satire of Alexander The Great not to mention Homer is a Greek name too and Alexander The Great was trying to take over the world just like Lucifer, the same deity that the Mason's worship.
You know, I remember when the episode first aired I didn’t even know who Steve Guttenberg is and I sold them outside of I guess his camera or parents well they sing the song
Funny. Steve Guttenberg released three movies in 1995. Two of them were big deal kids' movies. That was after a five year gap in projects. It makes you wonder. Did The Simpsons know about his movies coming out that year, ahead of time? Or did they actually make him a star? He seems like such a random choice. I don't think It Takes Two was even filming yet in Jan 1995. The Big Green had maybe wrapped up.
Thank God for that... Gotta stop our reliance on fossil fuels (to the extent possible), if we're going to keep this planet inhabitable by humans. Make no mistake--global warming is a very real, and destructive, thing.
This song took me 30 years to fully learn, too many misheard lyrics, I thought it was "who keeps the power plants off the maps?" and "king fish" instead of cave fish.

After WW2 Freemasons had their largest numbers in UK and USA so they would still have got a very large number by the 90s as most WW2 vets were still alive by then. No surprise that many important people would be a member of the local lodge at that time as there would be good networking involved.
