Mr Burns & Smithers - Look at all Those Idiots *music video*
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.

Can we all just take a second to appreciate the level of genius that is Harry Shearer as he's doing both these voices without getting confused?

"Take me home, sir" Ahhh... Smithers, only you could say this with such hilarity and double meaning
I actually really like this song now! My favourite part is where Smithers says "I thought I had my mojo working, ha!" and Mr Burns says "H'm!" before saying "That man by the cooler..." He almost laughed at Smithers' joke.

Yep, the fact that they can always sneak in smithers’ “appreciation” to Mr Burns is amazing
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.

"MR BURNS" just thinks he has "IDIOTS", "FOOLS", and "SLACKERS" at his "POWER PLANT". If he was to ever come to "FORT WORTHLESS TX": He would call "HOMER SIMPSON" THE BEST WORKER EVER!! (HOMER SIMPSON) "WOO - HOO"!

@A Paul B Ah, that sucks... I did private school for elementary and they wouldn’t let us say things like “Halloween”. It’s dumb. I mean, I get it, but it makes us Christians seem like obnoxious, killjoy sticklers. Those types of Christians are more “play by the rules” Christians who seemingly care more about _religion_ than they do _pure faith._ It’s disappointing. Works come from faith, but works will not get you into heaven, faith will. Sigh..
