'''"Do the Bartman"''' (7F75) is a {{ap|Do the Bartman|album|single}} from ''[[The Simpsons Sing the Blues]]'' album, which features [[Bart Simpson]] singing "Do the Bartman". (Not to be confused with [[Bartman|the superhero of the same name]].) The song was written by [[Bryan Loren]]. It was originally rumored that pop icon [[Michael Jackson]], who later guest-starred on the episode "[[Stark Raving Dad]]" as Leon Kompowski, would contribute a track to the album, but the producers initially denied it. It was later revealed by creator [[Matt Groening]] that Jackson did indeed co-write the song. The music video originally aired December 6, 1990.

:'''[[Homer]]:'''
:''Bart? Bart! Bart! (something falls over) BAAAAARRT!!''

:'''Bart:'''
:''Ididntdoitnobodysawmedoityoucantproveanything!''

:Yo! Hey, what's happenin', dude?
:I'm a guy with a rep for bein' rude.
:Terrorizin' people wherever I go.
:It's not intentional, just keepin' the flow.

:Fixin' test scores to get the best scores,
:Droppin' banana peels all over the floor.
:I'm the kid that made delinquency an art.
:Last name: Simpson! First name: Bart!

:I'm here today to introduce the next phase,
:The next step in the big Bart craze.
:I gotta dance real easy to do.
:I learned it with the rhythm and so can you.

:So move your body, if you got the notion,
:Front to back in a rock-like motion
:Now that you got it, if you think that you can,
:Do it to the music. That's the Bartman!

:'''Back-up singers:'''
:Everybody if you can, do the Bartman! ('''Bart:''' Woah!)
:Shake your body, turn it out if you can, man! ('''Bart:''' Check it out, man!)
:Move your butt to the side, yes, you can can. ('''Bart:''' Bartman!)
:Everybody in the house, do the Bartman! ('''Bart:''' Uh-huh!)

:Everybody if you can, do the Bartman!
:Shake your body, turn it out if you can, man! ('''Bart:''' Wooooah, mama!)
:Move your butt to the side, yes, you can can. ('''Bart:''' Woah!)
:Everybody in the house, do the Bartman!

:'''Bart:'''
:It wasn't long ago, just a couple of weeks,
:I got in trouble. Yeah, pretty deep.
:Homer was yelling, ('''Homer:''' BART!) Mom was, too,
:Because I put moth balls in the beef stew.

:Punishment time, in the air lurks gloom.
:Sittin' by myself, confined to my room,
:When all else fails, nothin' else left to do.
:I turn on the music so I can feel the groove.

:'''Back-up singers:'''
:Move your body, if you get the notion, ('''Bart:''' Woah, I'm feelin' the groove now, baby!)
:Front to back in a rock-like motion ('''Bart:''' Bring it back! Woooooah!)
:Move your hips from side to side now ('''Bart:''' Do the Bartman!)
:Don't you slip, let your feet glide now. ('''Bart:''' Woah, Lisa! Ha!)

:If you gotta groove, you gotta use it. ('''Bart:''' Ha-ha-ha!)
:Rock rhythm in time with the music. ('''Bart:''' Hahaha, check it out, man!)
:You just might start a chain reaction.

:'''[[Bart]]:'''
:If you can do the Bartman, you're bad like [[Michael Jackson]].

:'''Back-up singers:'''
:Everybody if you can, do the Bartman! ('''Bart:''' Oh yeah!)
:Shake your body, turn it out if you can, man! ('''Bart:''' Shake your body!)
:Move your butt to the side, yes, you can can. ('''Bart:''' Huh!)
:Everybody in the house, do the Bartman! ('''Bart:''' Yeah, do the Bartman!)

:Everybody if you can, do the Bartman! ('''Bart:''' Everybody, yeah, do the Bartman!)
:Shake your body, turn it out if you can, man! ('''Bart:''' Check it out!)

:Do the Bartman!
:Everybody, back and forth and side to side.

:'''Back-up singers:'''
:Do the Bartman!

:'''Bart:'''
:Do the Bartman!
:Kick your feet up off the floor and let 'em glide!

:'''Back-up singers:'''
:Do the Bartman!

:Now I'm in the house, feelin' good to be home
:'Til Lisa starts blowin' that damn saxophone.
:And if it was mine, you know they'd take it away,
:But still I'm feelin' good, so that's okay.

:I'm up in my room, just a-singin' a song,
:Listen to the kick-drum kickin' along.
:Yeah, Lisa likes jazz, she's her number one fan,
:But I know I'm bad, 'cause I do the Bartman!

== Trivia ==
*In "[[Simpson Tide]]", when [[Bart]] does the Bartman when [[Milhouse]] shows off his new earring, [[Ralph]] responds, "That is ''so'' 1991," a reference to the year the "Do the Bartman" song became a hit in the US.
*in "[[The Heartbroke Kid]]", [[Homer]] asked an obese [[Bart]] to do the Bartman.
*Lisa is playing her sax on the bridge, then a few frames later she is sitting with Bleeding Gums Murphy. Then, she is back on the bridge a few frames later.
*This was one of two ''Sing the Blues'' tracks that were made into music videos. The other was "[[Deep, Deep Trouble]]".
