'''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.''

That's a stupid name!

Filling clubs with angry Valentinos.

Just hate Flanders to the disco beat.
