Lisa singing "When the Jazz man is testifying" could very well be my favorite Lisa moment ever! It's hard to put into words the emotions I feel when she sings it.
This was the magic of The Simpsons back in the day. The small moments like this or "Lisa, It's Your Birthday", just melted your heart. The way Yeardley sings Jazzman with Lisa's innocence, conviction & given the episode's topic was all so endearing.
yep..this ending wasnt really funny...it was heartbreaking...but still satisfying.....and cute...not played for laughs......and it proves that murphy was the only one who truly could relate to lisa even if he sometimes confused her.....its a shame they killed off her only real friend of the entire series...these 2 had a real connection...
And tries to force her liberal beliefs down everyone else's throats and acts like anyone who doesn't think and act exactly like she does is an idiot or evil incarnate. Even Mr Burns rightfully called her out on it one time and we all know how horrible Mr Burns is.
The show was so brilliant with emotion, heart, soul, excellent writing etc. but after season 11 this show has became an undead shambling zombie braindead creature that needs to be shot in the head when it should had died in 2000 with Behind the Laughter
This is a scene you appreciate more as you get older. We've all lost someone important in our lives, and we all just wish we could have one more moment with them. To tell them how we feel, how much we miss them, or just to hang out and do whatever it was we did together, one last time. Lisa had that moment here. Such a beautiful scene.
Yeah. One of the best things about having grown up with classic Simpsons is stuff like this. As a kid this is a funny scene where Bleeding Gums' ghost comes back Mufasa-style to play some more upbeat music. As an adult it's a tear-wringing beauty about a kid (possibly) imagining her hero coming back to share one last perfect moment of jazz. Tons of Simpsons moments are like that now - frivolous laughs or almost boring talking scenes back then, deeply emotional and profound now. It's beginning to feel like one of the best, most accurate records of being a child in the 90s at all.
Last year I lost one of my best friends. The last time I saw him didn't really end on friendly terms, we never spoke to each other after a big fight. I added him to facebook close to 10 years later yet I never messaged him. I always hoped one day one of us could break the ice after so many years. I wish I was a better friend, I wish things could have been different. Never let dumb shit in the past get in the way of a friendship. it can vanish all in a heartbeat.
Who wouldn’t want someone important they’ve lost to appear in a giant cloudy form from time to time? That way, you wouldn’t have to miss them as much.⛅️🌥☁️
Yup. This episode didn’t mean anything to me as a child, but now it’s bittersweet. It reminds me of my first love, and his love for music. Never felt so similar to anyone in my life before or since, and having to move on does hurt when you feel like you failed them or didn’t say all that you could’ve
Just pretend the show died in 2000! the show still going on is not just beating a dead horse but beating a dead childhood/teenhood friend that needs to be buried.
“When I said my stomach hurt, you were the only one that believed me.” that line from Bart was incredible. Circling all the way back to the beginning and in turn doing a selfless act for his sister. A very heartfelt episode.
Johnson Zhang because the new Simpsons is crap the jokes is bad and their celebrity cameos is long and boring look at the lady gaga episode that was crap plot and Lisa character persona is terrible in that the new Simpsons isn't good anymore the jokes are boring I don't even laugh
The Simpsons died in 2000 and anything past season 11 with Behind the Laughter as the final worthy epsiode is NOT The Simpsons but an entirely completely different show void of intelligence, excellent writing, soul, heart and anti-authority/anti-hollywood satire! it's Zombie Simpsons. I'm 36 years old and been a fan of The Simpsons since i was 5 when they debuted on Tracy Ullman and was 7 when the pilot first aired on TV and taped every episode from 1989 to 2000 then i stopped watching in 2003 as the show was getting stale and moved on to other adult animation. It's just not relevant anymore nowadays! we have Bojack Horseman, Bob's Burgers etc. that have the same soul/heart/intelligence/satire of the real The Simpsons and have things in common with The Simpsons and not Zombie Simpsons. I tried to watch a couple of episodes of Zombie Simpsons and it was so bad i wanted to punch the tv and i turned it off. The show since 2001 is like a terminal cancer patient who is dying and it's better to pull the plug so it won't suffer anymore.
@@Johnlindsey289 I think 12 and 13 are still good enough to be worth watching. If the show had stopped after 13 it would be remembered like Futurama: almost completely brilliant but tailing off slightly at the end (the last Comedy Central seasons) and ending at the right time.
Came here as soon as I heard the news. Rest in peace, James Earl Jones. This was one of my favorite classic Simpsons episodes. Edit: I know James didn't voice anyone in this. I watched mainly because of the characters he portrayed that show up in the clouds.
Bart made this scene possible because he "sacrificed" his 500 bucks buying the LP for her sister. I really miss the brotherhood used to be between Bart and Lisa.
this was the very thing that made me want to start playing the saxophone, i remember i was only 10 at the time and saw this episode over the summer break...started playing in the September of the same year...and here i am still playing 14 years later
Wow thats the same reason I want to start playing saxophone too. I had the first tought for that i think 1 year ago but lost it fast because of school. But now I am more motivated ever I dont even really know why. But I hope it will last until I have it in my hand. Was nice to see your comment :D
@@cityraildude nope, it was Ron Taylor. Was kinda funny, Mufasa, darth vader and literally an image of James Earl Jones saying "This is CNN" and yet it wasn't Jones.
Literally it's legacy will be how hard it fell from grace and the contrast between the early seasons and when the Simpsons production team started phoning it in
When the Jazzman's testifyin', a faithless man believes. He can sing you into paradise, or bring you to your knees. Jazzman, take my blues away, Make my pain the same as yours with every change you play. Jazzman, oh, Jazzman. :')
@@59771006 Yup. I loved the original also She wrote it with David Palmer, he was a singer with Steely Dan. He sang lead on "Dirty Work" and "Brooklyn" on their first album "Cant Buy A Thrill".
I'm really sorry to hear that man. That is terrible. Just terrible. I hope you'll start feeling better soon - or at least come to terms with the grief. I wish I could say something to help you, but all I can do, is say how sorry I am when I hear about something like this happening to another person.
This still breaks me now at age 24 and i remember crying at this as a kid too... These where always the best moments in Simpsons, I miss parts like this.
I always cried at this scene now that Disney + is out and I can watch all of the Simpson’s again. whenever this episode comes on in the middle of the night after I pass out watching Simpson my mind tells me to get up
Not to mention how almost every episode centered around her these days tends to revolve around her discovering something she loves, having a chance to make it big and then getting her dreams crushed.
@@ElStink4K it was good times to me cause i was a kid and i enjoyed going out and playing with my neighborhood friends. It was always about bike riding, and playing N64,PS1,and our Gameboys... I could go on but those were the most memories ill always enjoyed and cherrished through good and bad...
i still have a hard time watching this episode in full and i'm 34 and saw this episode as it aired. as a little kid, you don't really comprehend death or losing someone so special to you. this is one of the best simpsons moments ever - and yes lisa absolutely kills this song
my mom was a huge carol king fan and this was one of her favorite songs. every time i watch this episode it makes me smile because i think about her and how much she impacted my life. it’s amazing how a great episode of a great show can become even better when it becomes important to you.
1:40 to 1:41. The MAGIC of old school Simpsons in one note. I watched this episode when it aired live and it has always stuck with me. The amount of quality we took for granted back in the day is staggering.
I feel like the Simpsons frequently gets passed off as just a silly comedy, and though it has good reviews, it seems somewhat underrated. There are so many heartfelt moments. Those old seasons were honestly pure art
This was the first time I teared up at a tv show, Lisa's voice is amazing and the fact she gets to sing one more time with him is just....DAMN IT! So good!
I came here as soon as I heard about the passing of James Earl Jones. Bleeding Gums Murphy, Mufasa, Darth Vader and CNN guy were all a tribute to him. RIP JEJ. You will be missed...😢
This episode always makes me say "sorry, there's something in my eye". Back when The Simpsons could make you belly laugh and cry all within one episode.
The fact that the french dub of the Simpsons didnt dub this song (and most of Lisa's songs) is a testament to how great Yeardley Smith is. And I'm glad that it wasnt dubbed over because I was able to grow up with the original versions of the songs
Damn these episodes make me cry, these were some of Best Simpsons Episodes ever, this makes me realise why the Simpsons is so important to me in everyday life, they have taught me so much
There's some grace and pureness in this episode, the scenes between these two characters are heartbreaking. By the way, I have to confess I prefer Yeardly Smith's voice rather than Carole King's
Here after the passing of James Earl Jones. I’ll always remember this moment where his 3 personas appeared alongside Bleeding Gums. 😭😭😭 R.I.P James Earl Jones, he truly is looking down on us now 😢
That Billie Holiday line really got me. My great-grandfather was good friends with her,and when she would perform in clubs, he would hide in a broom closet and watch her perform.
I have all the simpsons episodes on DVR. been watching this one a lot the past couple of days. I've been watching the show itself for about 30 years now (since it first started out on the Tracey Ullman show back in 87 I was 3 years old haha) it's my favorite show of all time it always has been and it always will be. not too crazy about any of the newer episodes I mean occasionally they'll have a good episode but most of them suck, I think the best stuff was from seasons 1-12

“YAY!”
1:42
Did this episode predicted James Earl Jones’ passing?
I guess so yeah
I was just about to say. the force is with him. forever
Although Jones was epic, somehow I don't think he voices him.
Lisa singing "When the Jazz man is testifying" could very well be my favorite Lisa moment ever! It's hard to put into words the emotions I feel when she sings it.

It’s still great imo, better than other shows
True
Word I hate it now, I just watch the old episodes on Disney plus
I swear I wish they had made a full length cover of this song, because it was INSPIRED.
It's based off of the song by Carole King.

There's some grace and pureness in this episode, the scenes between these two characters are heartbreaking.
By the way, I have to confess I prefer Yeardly Smith's voice rather than Carole King's
Here after the passing of James Earl Jones.
I’ll always remember this moment where his 3 personas appeared alongside Bleeding Gums.
😭😭😭
R.I.P James Earl Jones, he truly is looking down on us now 😢
I saw this episode 21 years ago. It made me cry then, makes me cry now.
That Billie Holiday line really got me.
My great-grandfather was good friends with her,and when she would perform in clubs, he would hide in a broom closet and watch her perform.
*One of the best simpsons episodes!!*
The best without a doubt for me.
this just gave me goosebumps.
I have all the simpsons episodes on DVR. been watching this one a lot the past couple of days. I've been watching the show itself for about 30 years now (since it first started out on the Tracey Ullman show back in 87 I was 3 years old haha) it's my favorite show of all time it always has been and it always will be. not too crazy about any of the newer episodes I mean occasionally they'll have a good episode but most of them suck, I think the best stuff was from seasons 1-12
R.I.P. James Earl Jones.
I didn't fully get this joke until now bc of the memes T.T
