My all-time, number one favourite (from memory, so forgive any screw-ups):

Maaaax Power, he’s the man  
With the name you’d love to tooooouch.  
But you musn’t toooooooouch!  
His name sounds good in your ear,  
But when you hear it, you musn’t fear!  
Because his name can be said by anyone…

This is from one of the Simpsons video games (hit and run I think), not sure if it was in an episode though.

Homer singing:  
I am so smart, I am so smart  
S-M-R-T…Damnit!

Actually, this was in an episode, _Homer Goes To College_. Homer burns his high school diploma after hearing he’s going to college. As the room catches on fire, Homer sings…

I am so smart! I am so smart!  
I am so smart! I am so smart!  
S-M-R-T! I mean, S-M-A-R-T!

According to the DVD commentary on this episode, the misspelling of “smart” was an ad-lib by Dan Castenelleta.

I figured it had to be from an episode, just didn’t recall it offhand.

> Hey, he lied to us through song! I hate it when people do that!

But my very favorite quote from that episode is:

**Apu** : I have come to make amends, sir. At first I blamed you for squealing, but then I realized it was I who wronged you. So I have come to work off my debt: I am at your service.  
**Homer** : You’re… selling what, now?  
**Apu** : I am selling only the concept of karmic realignment.  
**Homer** : You can’t sell that! Karma can only be portioned out by the Cosmos! _(slams the door)_  
**Apu** : He’s got me there.

**Linda Ronstadt:** Senor Plow no es macho, solamente un borracho…

**Homer:**  
I’m Mr. Plow and I’m here to say,  
I’m the plowin-est guy in the USA!  
I got a big plow and I move a lot of things  
Like your cow if you have one.

I didn’t see this one mentioned yet: **The Kindness of Strangers**

Marge/Blanche: Whoever you are, I have always depended on the kindness of strangers…  
(music begins)  
Cast: You can always depend on the kindness of strangers…  
To pluck up your spirits, and shield you from dangers…  
Marge/Blanche: Now here’s a tip from Blanche you won’t regret…  
Cast: A stranger’s just a friend you haven’t met…  
You haven’t met…  
STREETCAR!

I often find myself singing

_Dr. Zaius, Dr. Zaius oh oh Dr. Zaius  
Help me Dr. Zaius!_  
But strangely enough when I saw this thread the first song to pop into my head was “Shaving my shoulders”.

I like Homer’s Safety Dance.

_You can dance  
You can dance  
Everybody look at your pants_
