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 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.”
Agreed
Take me to Mount Splashmore. Now.
Someone needs to start a Simpsons song madness game over in the Game Room.

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.”)
Uh-oh, I think I know what I may be wasting my time on this week…
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!
Scorpio!!!
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!
