Please don’t feel bad about yourself if you only listened to about five minutes of the Iliad live-read. It’s a lot, you know? Just re-watch “Checkin’ In” instead. You’re still a good person.
Honestly, I think it’s better than the Monorail song. It’s perfect, and only just below the Planet of the Apes musical from season 7. It may single-handedly bring season 9 into the classic pantheon.

Wow. That’s a bold statement. Where does “Put the Spring in Springfield” rank?
Okay, for me, it’s:
1. Dr. Zaius
2. Checkin’ In
3. Streetcar!
4. Flamin’ Moe’s
5. Baby On Board
6. Monorail song
7. Your Wife Don’t Understand You (But I Do)
8. Lisa, It’s Your Birthday
9. Stonecutters’ song
10. Plow King
11. Spring in Springfield
12. Talkin’ Softball
WAIT AND I WOULD ALSO PUT “See My Vest” and “Love-Matic Grandpa” above “Spring In Springfield.”
This is the Internet ranking I have been waiting for all my life without realizing it.
Also, Mr. Plow: Homer’s jingle, or Barney’s duet with Linda Ronstadt?
Linda’s Plow King jingle…wait. Both.
Both. Both is good. (And don’t forget the Spanish-language version of “Plow King”!)
“Señor Plow no es macho
Es solamente un borracho!”
Thank you for this. I will ruminate deeply on it and also look for a way to get this playlist onto my mobile devices.
this is a good list. I am also partial to the Kamp Krusty song.

If we’re doing parodies this gets waaaay more complicated.
What about Who Needs the Kwik-e-mart? Weirdly of all these I’d say it gets randomly stuck in my head most often.
Also one of my favorites. I love the ending, where Apu is on the roof. In the original, Homer then says, “he lied to us, though song”. This gets cut out in syndication, and I love that line.
No Capitol City or Canyonero*?
Sung by Hank Williams Jr. also from Season 9, which was apparently a great year for music on The Simpsons.

Where is Bagged Me a Homer?
I have a soft spot for See My Vest cause I sing whenever I have to change over the wardrobe for the summer/winter
It’s also the only song I can reasonably sing in key
Oh, ugh, you’re right! Gotta add that!
Well, I thought bees would give me the worst earworm of the day, but oh my god, I was wrong, it was this all along.
