He only teaches simple, boring and unoriginal songs to the band causing Lisa to often cause outbursts in class[1]. Once, Mr. Largo had to take over for Groundskeeper Willie for a short time while Willie was working at The Gilded Truffle. He turned out to be even worse at being groundskeeper than music teacher.[2] He wanted to have a sex change operation to look like Julie Newmar, but is accidentaly mixed with Moe's surgery file, which makes him smaller.
Production and Behind the Scenes
His last name is also an Italian word for a slow, broad musical tempo, a possible reference to the fact that he can make any piece of music uninteresting.
