Album Information
Artist: Bleeding Gums Murphy
First Appearance: "'Round Springfield"



Sax on the Beach is the first and only album by Bleeding Gums Murphy, Lisa's jazz hero.

History[edit]

Sax on the Beach was an extremely rare album. Not even the local jazz radio station, KJAZZ, had a copy of it. The only copy in town was at The Android's Dungeon, priced at $250. However, when Comic Book Guy realized that Murphy was dead, he doubled the price to $500.

Bart bought Sax on the Beach for Lisa, using the money he obtained from a lawsuit. KJAZZ played it for Lisa, but the DJ told her that due to the station's extremely limited range, hardly anyone would hear it. However, a freak lightning strike hit KJAZZ's antenna tower, amplifying the signal to the point where it was audible through every electronic device in Springfield—regardless of whether it was a radio tuned to KJAZZ, or even a radio at all.[1]

Behind the Laughter[edit]

  • The album title is likely a pun on "Sex on the Beach", which is a cocktail as well as a catchphrase.
  • John Tesh recorded an album titled Sax on the Beach in 1995.
