'''Everybody Hates Ned Flanders''' is an Emmy-nominated song from the episode [[Dude, Where's My Ranch?]].  In the episode, it was written by [[Homer Simpson]]. It was supposed to be a Christmas carol, but when Flanders interrupted Homer's writing of it, he decided to make a [[Flanders is His Name|hate song]] about him. After hearing it in [[Moe's Tavern]], guest star David Byrne decided to make it into a CD and have it play all over Springfield on radios, church choirs and karaoke bars. However, after hearing several knock-offs, Homer gives up on the song. The music was written by [[Alf Clausen]] and [[Ken Keeler]] and the lyrics by [[Ian Maxtone-Graham]] and Keeler. It is part of the seventeenth track on the album [[The Simpsons: Testify]].  It was nominated for an Emmy award for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Music and Lyrics in 2003.  It lost to "Aren't They All Our Children" from the television special ''The Concert for World Children's Day.''

Lenny and Carl:
F-L-A,
Homer:
His name is Ned!
Lenny and Carl:
E-R-S,
Homer:
That's a stupid name!
It's worse than Frankenstein or Dr. No!
David Byrne:
You can't upset him even slightly,
He just smiles and nods politely,
Then goes home and worships nightly,
His Leftorium is an emporium of woe!
Lenny and Carl:
F-L-A,
Homer:
[mocking tone] Don't yell at Ned!
Lenny and Carl:
D-E-R,
Homer:
His wife is dead!
Everybody hates that stupid jerk!
David Byrne:
Springfield rocks with Homer's joyous loathing,
Filling clubs with angry Valentinos.
You don't have to move your feet,
Just hate Flanders to the disco beat.
Homer and David Byrne:
He's your perky, peppy, nightmare neighborino!
If you despise polite left-handers,
Homer, David and Ned:
Then I doubt you'll like Ned Flanders
Or his creepy little offspring, Rod and Todd.
Todd:
That's us!
Rod:
Hooray!
Audience:

His name is Ned!
