> [@Omniscient](#): > > Quite simply one of my favorite songs of all time. It was a parody of _Talkin’ Baseball (Willie, Mickey, and the Duke)_, and was written and performed by that song’s writer/singer, Terry Cashman. But I don’t think the original has anything about humorous tragic illnesses or grotesquely swollen jaws (two lines I love). ---

You are correct, there was however a clip I saw that was made recently with those lyrics with homer in the bar shown in a special or an outtake (what would the creators of those lyrics do? Sue Homer’s creator after they implied Homer made them? 🙂 The Simpsons creators are famous for paying attention to the Internet. ---
