Epic poll thread. Honorable mention to Paint Your Wagon. Not because the song is anything clever, but because that whole scene cracks me up. ---

My main “other” is “Dancing Away My Hunger Pains” from the [Hungry Hungry Homer](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungry,_Hungry_Homer) episode. ---

My favourites are “The Garbage Man Can” as well as “I’m Checking in” from the ninth season premiere “The City Of New York vs. Homer Simpson” ---

“Springfield, Springfield it’s a hell of a town, The schoolyard’s up and the Kwick-e Mart’s down…” Also, Homer’s version of “Hey Big Spender” he sang during the yard sale. I love that episode just because it created “Disco Stu.” ---

I voted for _See My Vest_, but missed two items on the list: - The Amendment Song (“There’s a lot of flag burners who have got too much freedom/ I wanna make it legal for policemen to beat 'em”) - Flaming Moe’s (not sung by a character, but still hilarious - “Where liquor in a mug/ can warm you like a hug/ Happiness is just a Flaming Moe away.”) ---

if best is singular We Do (The Stonecutter’s Song) - The Stonecutters also good Canyonero - TV Commercial See My Vest - Mr. Burns Stonecutters whole episode was great for the theme and the song was a good presentation of the theme. Canyonero was a good poke at society which that show does best. ---

Really surprised the Max Power song isn’t doing better. I’d also vote for the New Orleans song from _Oh, Streetcar!_, were it listed. _If you want to go to hell, you should take a trip To the Sodom and Gomorrah of the Mississip’_ ---

I voted for [del]Kodos[/del] _Dr. Zaius_. I think that’s the one that makes me laugh the hardest. After that it’d be the Monorail song (“the ring came off my pudding can!”), We Do, Who Needs the Kwik-E-Mart (if only for “He lied to us through song! I hate it when people do that!”) and See My Vest. The best thing about the Canyonero song, I think, it’s the lyrics. It’s that shot of all the deer flying hundreds of feet into the air after being hit by the car, one after the other after the other. ---

I voted for the _We Do_ Stone cutters song, but a mention has to go to Tito Puente’s _Senor Burns_. ¡SEÑOR BUUUUUURNS! ¡CON EL CORAZÓN DE PERRO! [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/7ag-owTGckE/hqdefault.jpg "Tito Puente singin' to Mr. Burns") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ag-owTGckE) ---

SHAVING my SHOULDERS, I’m getting it all off… If not that, one of the songs from _Stop the Planet of the Apes, I Want to Get Off_! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/best-song-from-the-simpsons/562071.md?page=1)
