  Something I made up for fun.....

  What non-simpson's song do you think describes a character? For example, here are some of mine:

 Bart~"Broken Home" by Papa Roach
 Rev. Lovejoy~"Losing my religion" by R.E.M.

 And it can't be any song they sang...have fun!

Hey, fun game! (A little bit like those "Matchbox 40" scripts, which I regrettably need to catch up with.) These are the ones I can think of right now... I'll most certainly be back with more.

Marge: "Stand By Your Man" by Tammy Wynette (ironic, what with Lurleen and all, but that's beside the point)
Homer: "Elysium" by Madness (if you don't know the song, I've currently got a quote from it in my sig)
Jessica Lovejoy: "Devil In Disguise" by Elvis Presley
Comic Book Guy: "Tony The Horse" by Madness
Becky (from "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad Marge"): "Don't Marry Her" by Beautiful South
Bleeding Gums Murphy: "Miss American Pie" by Don McClean (well, to Lisa, at least, his death was the day the music died)
Principal Skinner: "Goodnight Saigon" by Billy Joel
Snake: "Happiness Is A Warm Gun" by The Beatles

And just as a bonus, a Futurama one...

That Guy (from "Future Stock"): "Going To The Top" by Madness

Wow, those are some great ones... hey Tony, I also considered "When A Man Loves A Woman". Great song, that. Billy Joel's "All For Leyna" could also work... dang, too many songs are dedicated to beautiful, cruel women, and not enough by far to trustworthy studious ones. Oh well.

And Sheana, "Fool On The Hill" is *perfect* for Ralph. I wish I'd thought of it first. *grumble*

Oh, another few ones...

Waylon Smithers: "Gotta Serve Somebody" (Bob Dylan)
Apu Nahasapeemapetilon: "Out Of Reach" (Get Up Kids)
Mindy Simmons: "The Female Of The Species" (Space)

And one I shamelessly ripped off Graham (but now I *always* think of her when I hear this song):

Maggie Simpson: "Killer Queen" (Queen)

Music am fun. Smiley  (Btw, what's up with the new nick?)

For those of you wondering about the song for Moe, it's a silly ditty the LS wrote for an early Woody Allen movie.  It's a fun thing about a poor schlub with no luck whatsoever and a crummy life.  It could go for one or two other OFF characters too, but I think it fits Moe best. Grin

Off-topic, but Sheana asked, so...

In Latin, a "hastatus" (feminine form "hastata") is an élite soldier. A very, very sub-standard way of spelling it would be astaatus/astaata. So when I refer to myself as "astaata", I'm calling myself...

... L33t.

(And they said you couldn't do that in Latin! All right, so it was mostly *me* saying that...)

Already mentioned it on Matchbox 40 but:

Before continuing, it may be in your best interest, dear reader, to stop and ponder this. Picture it in your mind's eye. An evil one-eyed midget named Cheatum swam across the Gulf of Mexico wearing a shark fin on his back and then planted a bomb on a boat. Think about that. Let that sink in. Now. Wouldn't you want to buy a wrestling show after seeing this?
