  • Опубликовано: 6 апр 2016
  • Made a video for the Simpsons Sing the Blues album track using footage from Springfield nuclear power plant in first 6 seasons. Sung/rapped by Charles Montgomery Burns & toady sidekick Waylon Smithers, cameos from Homer & school bus driver Otto on guitar solo.
    Song written by Jeff Martin & Sam Simon with Matt Groening, 1990. Much better than Do the Bartman.

  • @darkmookie6

    I don’t know if this has been mentioned before but it’s actually Waylon Smithers playing the guitar oppose to Otto Mann. You can hear in the Lyrics this conversation: “Hm Smithers what happened to the music?”
    “I think they called a breakdown sir. “
    “We can’t have any breakdowns here, what if there’s an inspector around! Play a guitar solo”
    “Well sir...I’m a little out of practice”
    “I said do it so DO IT DO IT DO IT!!”
    Then as the Guitar plays you cant faintly hear Smithers saying “mhm, oh yeah”
    I just felt the slight need to bring this to attention, and a better clip for this part could possibly have been that time dear Smithers was having the time of his life playing the banjo, because it looks a lot like a guitar and it’s a pretty funny scene.
