The Be Sharps
| |
| Band Information
|
The Be Sharps were once a band consisting of Homer Simpson, Apu Nahasapeemapetilon, Seymour Skinner and Chief Wiggum (later replaced by Barney Gumble).
Contents
History
They used to perform at Moe's Tavern but then started to perform at Springfield State Prison and The First Church of Springfield in 1985. This then caught the eyes of a man named Nigel. He then suggested they should be a real band and should remove Chief Wiggum because he reminded too much of the Village People. After a failed tryout The Be Sharps heard Barney Gumble's good singing and decided to have him join the band. They then had a concert at The Statue of Liberty and won a Grammy Award. Afterwards they became unpopular, with Barney dating a Japanese conceptual artist, and split up. In their latest act they sang "Baby on Board" on top of Moe's roof.

During a series of attacks by a mutated Blinky fish, Skinner was killed and Chief Wiggum was among the crew of the Orca II when it hunted the fish. At one point, Wiggum heard ominous-sounding singing, went on deck to investigate, and found Apu, Barney and Homer in a small boat wearing their barbershop quartet attire. Wiggum asked, "Can I rejoin now that Skinner's croaked?", referencing Skinner's death and Wiggum's having been previously kicked out of the group. Homer curtly replied, "We'll call you!"[1]
The members of The Be Sharps appeared as historical versions of themselves in Grampa's story of the origin of Chirstmas caroling.[2]
In a Chip Davis tribute, appears a photo where the late Chip, appears singing with The Be Sharps in New York.[3]
Products
The Be Sharps also had various products. One was a foam squirter that got recalled because anyone who ate the foam would get poisoned and would die. Homer replied "Anyone who ate it deserved to die" at the same time which Bart was eating it. They also released two albums, one self-titled and the other titled Bigger Than Jesus. The self-titled was seen at the flea market in the beginning of the episode catching Bart's eye and igniting the plot for the episode.
