That little muted pick scrape thing from the intro of SHOULD I STAY OR SHOULD I GO by the Clash… that is cool
Greetings from my hovel on the shores of the Bow.
I found a youtube playlist of songs from the Simpsons and discovered that I still know every single lyric to nearly every single song from every episode prior to ~season 14 when I wasn’t watching as religiously.
Is there a more important and influential tv show than The Simpsons? I kind of doubt it. It kind of gets dunked on a lot now (often fairly as it’s clearly not as good as it used to be) but the first 12 seasons are so, particularly the first 8? Is the most consistently brilliant comedy writing ever on television. The average episode from say season 4 or 5 has more jokes in 5 minutes than a lot of modern comedies have in the whole episode and EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM IS FUNNY. You’d expect a show with the quantity of jokes of those Simpsons episode to have some misses, but nope. Every damn one is good. It’s insane. The first 4 seasons of Futurama be like that too.
